Rewrite the ending of a famous movie/ TV show

14-07-2019 8:51am #1

First of all, Jennifer Aniston would never have fallen for David Scwimmer, so don't get me started on Ross and Rachel. In my alternative ending, Rachel and Phoebe have a massive dispute, ultimately ending in a bitch fight) over Joey. Phoebe wins, of course, but Joey chooses Rachel. Ross ends up alone and plays an increasingly important role in the life of Monica and the babies, after her divorce from Chandler.

Chandler and Phoebe kind of drift away from the group. Phoebe was always too interesting for them, and Chandler too boring.

What TV shows or films haven't ended the way they ought to?

Game of Thrones. Apparently anything at all woulda been better than the last season. I didn't actually watch it but the furore over it comfotably eclipsed both the Soprano's Blackout and LOSTs church scene in public outrage stakes and actually making the news.

Tony Soprano ate lead in the diner.

That Tommy Lee Jones monologue at the finale of No Country For Old Man was scrapped.

That was an essential part of the whole thing. He was the embodiment of the administration of justice, and his monologue represented justice being aware of its own ineptitude.

Take all of that out and you just have a cowboy movie.

That film should be on the leaving cert curriculum.

I beg to differ, it was out of kilter with the rest of the picture and detracted from the overall quality. A somewhat deflating (and unnecessary) conclusion.

When Blackadder and his comrades made that final charge out of the trenches, they found the Germans out sunning themselves in deckchairs and playing volleyball. Over a few beers they found they all had so much in common that they realised WW1 was pointless. They all went on to enact so much social change back home that the next 50 years in Europe was an unparalleled era of peace and prosperity.

For me, the main character being killed offscreen was totally deflating. I kept expecting him to pop up again until the credits rolled.

it wasn't the only monologue he offered in the film, it opened with a monologue from the same guy!

It was intended to bookend the film with a comment on the system of justice.

Titanic doesn’t run into an iceberg, and docks safely in New York. Rose soon grows tired of Jack’s heavy drinking and uncouth ways, and marries a Wall Street Banker. Jack becomes a fireman and dies after getting caught in a burning building.

AVATAR; the Humans used long ranged weaponry to take out the Navi from a safe distance.

Easy win. Resources for us humies!

FRAISER; Fraiser Crane doesn't leave for Chicago, Neils finally dies due to his blimp of a wife rolling over him alongside Martin at the Cafe, and Eddie finally claims the recliner for good. But Crane keeps arguing with him still...

Lost always strikes me as something they started off with a really good idea and that was about it. Just about any ending would have been worse, better or wouldn't have made a difference.
It was great

Thelma and Louise realise that driving to their deaths hand in hand is a ludicrous indulgence and decide to high tail it to Canada where they seek refuge from nasty American men and set up home looking after rescue bears.

It appears the writers of the last two seasons hadn't a notion either so I'm about as qualified as them :pac:

Lets just make Tyrion (Dinklage) the king forever.

When you're dealing with a country like this, they're insured up the ass. They're not supposed to give you any resistance whatsoever. If you get a customer, or an employee who thinks he's the tànaiste take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says ****ing **** after that. You might get some minister for children talkin' **** to you but give her a look like you're gonna smash her face next, watch her shut the **** up. Now if it's a Taoiseach that's a different story. Taoiseachs know better than to **** around so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. I'm hungry. Let's get a taco

I genuinely think GOT could have been saved in the edit and reshooting/adding/deleting maybe 3/4 scenes. It wouldn't have been great by any stretch but it would have been allot better than what we got.

Jaws: Chief Brody realises he has only one round remaining, and realising he has little chance of hitting the oxygen cylinder tries to shoot himself, but the shark chomps on his left leg, mates with him, and now pregnant with a shark/human hybrid, finishes off Brody. To be continued in Jaws 2: The Hybrid.

Jurassic Park: The velociraptors, having eaten all the humans (including the cute kids), learn to fly the chopper and...

...well, I'm sure you can work out what happens next. Let's just say Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Jurassic Park III are significantly different from the existing versions.

I know this would make the film a few minutes long, but:

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: en route to the Ceti Alpha system, Chekov remembers the planet Ceti Alpha 5, tells Captain Terrell about Khan, and they go to a different planet to see if it's suitable to test the Genesis device.
