Title: What if...?
Post by: Randomizer on Jul 02, 2014, 11:19:45 AM
  Rules of this game are simple : Someone says a phrase starting with "What if ..." and the others will have to reply to him saying something that would happen if he was right . Then another person says a phrase and so on... It can be about anything , about AvP or something else .  :)
 
    I'll start !

    What if iPhones/iPads didn't exist?

I could only jerk off at my computer desk instead of wandering about.

We wouldn't have quite as many appalling money guzzling shitty effects-driven mindless tentpole summer blockbusters.

No that was Jaws.

But we wouldn't have had Moonraker, Alien may well not have been made, and Roger Corman would've been out of a job for most of the 80s.

Star Wars added the effects and simplified plots, Jaws showed that summer movies with wide releases could be huge.

We'd still have summer blockbusters, but perhaps they'd be better written >_>

George lucas instead makes a story about universe set in space far far away inhabited by only ducks.

George Lucas directs Apocalypse Now instead.

Depends how literal one takes the thread.  If Star Wars hadn't got the go ahead, he was slated to direct Apocalypse Now.

As I'm sure you're aware.

Yeah, but I'd kind'a pushed it to the back of my memory. And then you saying it made me think of that movie directed by Lucas. Even 70s-era Lucas. It wouldn't have been the same at all.

It wouldn't.

But I don't think it automatically would've been rubbish.

There's something singular and unique about that film that would've been horribly, horribly lost had it happened any other way. It wouldn't have been terrible, necessarily, but I doubt it would have the qualities that attract me and many others to it.

I watched most of it on telly the other week.

It reminded me I really need to get a good DVD or Blu-Ray set with all the bells and whistles and Heart of Darkness.

 No , I mean that Dutch would team up with Lex and they'll both be in the movie , not just Dutch . I'm  curious how Dutch would handle the Alien Queen .

Implying Jaws was bad there? If so, you disgust me.

But then she burps it out and it's deactivated from her acidic saliva. Then Dutch looks at Lex and Scar and utters-

"Bad idea."

Then it would be time for "Get to da choppa" or snow cat in this case  :P

As in an Actual Third World War or the comic series of that same name?

An actual World War . If it was for the comic series I would've mentioned that .

Lots of people who live in the Third World would die I suppose.
