I've seen every Kaufman film except confessions of a dangerous mind, and the idea of it seems interesting. The whole dream within a dream thing seems right up Kaufman's alley. Of course, the movie would be very different.

Probably would have been much more interesting, assuming it didn't end up directed by Chris Nolan either.

It would be less action movie to some degree. And you should watch Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Sam Rockwell is amazing.

Fuck yes. Definitely an underrated film, which is weird because it's got a great cast and George Clooney as director.

Would've been a lot funnier and probably a better film overall. I'm happy with Nolan's version though.

What If scenarios peaked with What If The Punisher Killed the Marvel Universe?   All hypothetical questions since then have become meaningless.

What If _________ wrote/directed/played the lead in ___________ ?  For better or worse I bet it would be different.  Now can we have no more of these threads?
