What stories/intellectual properties (other than Star Wars) would you like to retell/rewrite?

The great thing about Doctor Who is you never need to reboot it. If you have a different vision for it you just layer it on top of what’s already there.

What if my different vision includes making the Doctor a human being from the future? Or making the Time Lords starfish aliens who assume the forms of different species when travelling incognito?

Muxing up Movie quotes
Time

"Where in hell are you from, anyway, Private?"

"Sir, Texas, sir!"

"Holy dog shit! Texas‽ Only steers and q****s come from Texas, Private Cowboy! And you don’t much look like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?"

"Sir, no, sir!"

"Are you a peter-p****r‽"

"Sir, no, sir!"

"I’ll bet you’re the kinda guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around! I’ll be watching you!"

Alfred Hitchcock said:

The silent pictures were the purest form of cinema; the only thing they lacked was the sound of people talking and the noises. But this slight imperfection did not warrant the major changes that sound brought in… In many of the films now being made, there is very little cinema: they are mostly what I call ‘photographs of people talking.’ When we tell a story in cinema, we should resort to dialogue only when it’s impossible to do otherwise.

I’m a visual/visceral artist. I enjoy crafting worlds and conveying my ideas through imagery and sound cues; I don’t enjoy writing dialogue. Much of my writing process is spent ruminating on dialogue, and it keeps me in doldrums. Some screenwriters are Tarantinos, and God bless 'em, but others are Murnaus. I’m a Murnau. Time has come for me to internalize that.

Talkies are so 1927, anyway.
