I’m mad that Harrison Ford and Steve Martin didn’t play brothers in a movie that only exists in my head. My point is that every day thousands of things don’t get made or started. Some of them could have been masterpieces. All the elements that make a good movie are hard to wrangle into a cohesive product. It’s amazing any movie turns out well.

There's a series called The Movies That Made Us, and the thing that stuck with me, is that so many of these movies have the constant theme: a million things came up lucky for these movies to have been made and be the success it was. e.g. Home Alone almost didn't have Joe Pesci or the score or the fact it was actually supposed to be cancelled mid-production, and on and on.

The technology is almost there in terms of AI and deep fake so that in the future we'll able to ask for a remake of a movie with another (CGI) actor, dead or alive (licensing permitting) or ask it to generate a new episode of a tv show "I want an episode of Columbo but with Brad Pitt and he kisses Jason Momoa in a scene".

Michael Hudson (Harrison Ford) has spent his professional life trying to escape the shadow of his much more successful eccentric fraternal-twin brothers Ed (Steve Martin) and Anthony (Jeff Goldblum). After a few too many drinks with his commiserating co-worker Barbara (Felicia Day), he finally hatches the plan to end all plans before his upcoming retirement--as long as President Collison (Tim Meadows) doesn't get wind of the scheme first.
