We all know that Willco is a big fan of the imaginary cut of Spider-Man 3. As he's told us time-and-again over the past few days, this extended-yet-imaginary cut not only adds additional, incredible footage, but the very presence of this footage forces us to view the existing ridiculous narrative and half-assed acting in a brand new light, Raimi's genius clear to all. So, we know his answer.
Corny, on the other hand, has frequently professed his love for the alternate-universe version of Heroes where the writing isn't total shit and the crucial plot information introduced in the embarassing webcomics is somehow both interesting and canonically introduced into the show.
Another perennial favorite is the version of Highlander 2 where they didn't actually make Highlander 2.
My personal pick is the version of Infinite Jest that was actually made by somebody, possibly Wes Anderson. It's totally enjoyable and optically revolutionary, but not actually fatal.
You?

Mine is ROTJ with wookies instead of ewoks.

FoC with an excellent first choice!

BLACK CALIGULA

Mine is Episode I with no Jar Jar, Yoda in Qui Gonn Jinn's role, with more Darth Maul (who doesn't die at the end), and a slightly older (and much better) actor playing Anakin.
-
Batman Begins with Harvey Keitel as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Roger Corman directing.
-
Kingdom of Heaven with Paul Bettany in Orlando Bloom's role. I could go on and on.

How about we just pretend episode was never made. I think that is the best we can ever hope for.

An 85 minute cut of Peter Jackson's King Kong.

It's still my favorite of the prequels, even if that's not saying much. Episode II and III were awful.

Sin City where Jessica Alba gets naked.

a Tim Burton Batman 3 - I would have loved for him to go out in a trilogy

We agree on that then. Whle episode 1 was still bad, i think it stands up better than the other 2.

a filming of 1984 that doesn't show us the directors idea of what is in room 101, but rather leaves it up to us to imagine what the worst thing in the world is.

Watch Brazil.

what was in the movie 101?
-
Was that the cage with the rat hooked up to the guy's face?
-
A Ghostbusters 3 that was shot back to back with a Ghostbusters 2 that was made in 1985.
I'll also second the Burton version of Batman Forever, the one where he didn't get ousted from the director's chair, and Michael Keaton came back. And there was no Robin.

The Island where Scarlett Johansson gets naked.

a schindler's list where jews make comical noises when gassed WHAT OH JESUS ECHELON
-
A remake of Hudson hawk, where all characters are played by Jennifer Garner besides Bruce who I will play. It's also a porno now.

It's not imaginary if there is direct quotes from people talking about scenes being cut. Christ, even Dylan Baker was making so much fuss that it was great to work with his wife, who was to play Captain Stacy's (James Cromwell) wife - but that entire bit was cut. That kind of stuff will be in some kind of 3.1 release, I bet.
I remember they paid Chris Tucker a bazillion dollars for a cameo and he's not in there either.

Why the fuck would they pay Chris Tucker anything for a cameo?

oh, willco.

I hear Africa paid him for a cameo job in America...

Inglorious Bastards.
The best part about my movie is that Tarantino will eventually make it.

Chris Tucker doesn't do anything for money, dude. He played a cab driver. Apparently, they also dumped all of the Sandman's story in the second half of the movie, including where his family confronts him at the climax. And a bunch of other stuff with Gwen Stacy, Eddie Brock and Spidey.

Seeing a movie version of Starcraft the original story ending with tassadar destroying the overmind at the end, and having it all hyped up like CRAZY

I was going to say that as well.
Cute story: My best friend used to rewind the tape of Bambi and watch it again, thinking that the mother wouldn't get shot this time. She was too young to understand that the tape doesn't change.

Two worthy Matrix sequels.

In a similar vein to Willco (S-M3), but totally different. He wants simply a better cut of the existing film.
I want the S-M3 that would have existed if Sony weren't money grubbing whores, and let Sam finish the trilogy the way he wanted to. The one with Sandman and Harry as the villains, and no symbiote/Venom/Gwen crap. Harry hires the Sandman or whatever to kill Spidey, but Harry still undergoes the redemption arc, and still dies protecting Peter. No love triangle. MJ dies. Film ends with Spidey having more resolve than ever to stop evil-doers, or something like that. Im not actually sure how Id end it, but it would be something bittersweet. Danny Elfman still hangs around to score the film, as does John Dykstra and the effects team. The film runs 140 minutes like the existing S-M3 does, but with a ton less bloat and convuluted mess, all the storylines and characters are given proper room to breathe and fully develop. The film still has tons of humor, but doesnt descend into parody like the existing film. Basically, we get the sequel that all indications pointed towards after S-M2, which should have been the best comic book movie ever, besting S-M2. And its a SATISFYING conclusion.

The Star Wars prequels are by no means next to the quality of the "sequels" but I hate hate hate when people say things about episodes in any franchise they don't like that they don't exist or the ignore that they ever happened. That is just childish.
Did you not like the film? Sure. But that doesn't mean its not part of the franchise just as much as the other films. It applies to anything Star Wars, Star Trek, James Bond...etc

SP's original post is the funniest thing I have ever read on the Bore. :lol Glad to see I wasn't the only one completely revolted by Willco's spin doctoring on SM3.
That being said, I would love to see a Raimi directed Dune. It would include Emo Paul Atreides whose real life is "so tough" when he is not being the messiah for an alien planet. In a crucial scene, the Fremen would hoist a passed out Paul up in a Jesus Christ pose and carry him to the caves where they would give an impassioned speech on how much Arakkis means to them and how they need Paul. Mix in an early scene of dancing Bene Gesserits and Bruce Campbell playing Feyd .. and you have a surefire winner.

Shall we bookmark this post for 10 years from now when he still hasnt made it? :P
