Things in movies I really really really want:

[dixiegrrrrl]

a cell phone that never needs charging.
Didja notice that in movies our hero/ines walk around all day with phone, keep in their pocket or purse in cars,
and in the middle of the night, answer it while it sits, free of any charger, on the bedside table.
Day after day after day..NEVER gets charged.
and the only time said actor cannot talk on it is usually due to "no bars" as a plot device.
I have yet to see a movie where the actor cannot talk on phone because of dead battery.

A car that never needs gassing up, unless the plot calls for the gas station to explode or some such necessity and even then, half the time, the actor is called upon to drive frantically away from said station before filling up, or paying for the gas.

What do you want?

[Xyzse]

1. I can think of one thing immediately.

Road Routes that get you to your destination of 10-20+ miles in just under 5 minutes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. And everything you need to stop for is right along the way.

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. oh.oh..oohh...and...and...

I am watching the series The Killing, american version, set in Seattle and surrounding areas.
Actually a fun series..
except I know the area well, having spent my first 40 years up there.
and they play around with geography like crazy.
Plus
Since each episode takes place in a 24 hour period, I also go nutz over spring flowring trees in one scene
and obviously winter background in the next scene.

Our stars also apparently take ferry boats that go at the speed at the speed of sound
and never ever have to wait in line for them
and ALWAYS find a parking space at the curb in downtown Seattle
and
always pull out of said parking space immediately, with NO other cars comnig at them.

[sarge43]

4. A refrigerator that can block gamma radiation.

A mansion that keeps itself clean without a staff.

A weapon that never runs out of ammo.

A car that always starts, even without a key.

Another car that never gets encrusted with road salt, even when I drive it around in the winter in New England or the Midwest.

The ability to live in a high end, perfectly furnished apartment in a major city on a 99 percenter salary.

The ability to be within the ZTD (zone of total destruction) of an explosion and not even get my hair ruffled.

The ability to run, fight, any activity besides the penguin walk, in four inch spike heel pumps.

The ability to figure out any computer pass code in under a minute.

Having the car that can fly through the air, hit the pavement and still be drivable is probably the impossible dream.

[raccoon]

38. Regarding the flying car, looks like to me at the very least the tires would go flat, with all that

weight smacking against the ground/pavement.

[sarge43]

49. At least

Blow the shocks, snap the axle, warp the undercarriage, that's just the car. Re Our Hero, probably get his head bounced at a fair rate of knots against the ceiling - spinal compression, concussion, fractured skull. You know, seat belts are for wimps, not action guys.

[Denninmi]

5. I was promised a Mattel Hoverboard and a Mr. Fusion home nuclear reactor

Back in 1985. 28 years later, still waiting. Maybe this year, Santa will come through.

[HughBeaumont]

22. I was going to say Grays. Sports. Almanac. . . . .

. . . but it wouldn't do you much good now, would it?

Now if the bastard said 2015, then hey, I got 3 years until retirement!

[HappyMe]

6. George Clooney or Daniel Craig

[Brigid]

7. You win.

That is all.

[blueamy66]

9. Oh yeah

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. LOL!!!!!!!!

Yup...win.

[lunatica]

13. yup. And Denzel

[HappyMe]

17. Oh yes!

Definitely. Add Samuel L. Jackson to the list too!

[BainsBane]

32. Idris Elba

And you can have Clooney or Craig

[dixiegrrrrl]

43. oohhh..points for mentioning him!!!!

[Skittles]

47. I'd skip Clooney and Craig too

if I can has some Chiwetel Ejiofor

[Jade Fox]

48. Fer shure.....nt

[Aristus]

8. I'm a balding, middle-aged white guy.

I should be able to snag any exotic beauty of any age and any culture without any trouble whatsoever. Right? Just like in the movies. Right?

[HappyMe]

11. Why the hell not?

[Aristus]

18. Okay. Well, yes.

I am boyishly handsome and disarmingly charming, so there's that...

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. and no matter where you are on the planet,

most of the time you will snag the only young, pretty and very blonde woman who somehow manages to appear
from nowhere.
If Michael Douglas and Harrison Ford can do it ...hey , HE even did it on an Island!

Poor Tom Hanks, all he got was that lousy basketball.

[lunatica]

15. I cried like a baby when he lost Wilson

[Incitatus]

14. I want one of those guns that never has to be loaded.

and a bat mobile

[TrogL]

26. Saw a documentary about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

They made a point of counting the rounds and reloading as necessary.

Now I can't watch a gunfight movie without doing the same.

[lunatica]

16. Elevators that open as soon as you press the button

Imagine the minutes you could have back in your life doing other things than waiting for elevators.

[raccoon]

39. And getting out of an elevator without someone trying to get in mowing you down first! nt

[AnneD]

19. My wants....

I want the manicure kit that the secretary had in Total Recall. Touching the nail tip and changing the color was way too cool. The Harry Potter series had all kinds of cool stuff. I want the cloak, Hermaine's locket and purse...and of course the mauraders map. I wouldn't mind Matt Damon or some nice eye candy either.

[MicaelS]

20. To see people belch, pick their noses and teeth,

Sneeze and blow their noses, scratch themselves, and fart like normal human beings.

Oh yes, I really want to see the toilets in every SF film. I still haven't gotten over the fact that (to the best of my knowledge) neither Star Trek or Star Wars showed a toilet, urinal, or bidet in their universes.

[TrogL]

27. 2001 A Space Odysey had toilets

[sarge43]

51. There was one in a deleted scene in Galaxy Quest.

A shame it was cut. It designed for an alien by aliens and it was horrible and funny as hell.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. I want the magic makeup that you can sleep in

or spends weeks in the jungle/forest/kidnappers basement, etc
and then appear with complete flawless hair and makeup.

oh..and clean clothes.....the magic clean clothes, no matter what has happened.

[HappyMe]

41. Don't forget

the Magic Hair! No matter what happens, it has that sexy deshabille look.

[HughBeaumont]

23. The ability to respond with clever, comedy-writer-worthy comebacks on a moment's notice.

[Aristus]

25. Simple. Get 'The West Wing' and 'Sports Night' on DVD.

Watch them over and over. Exposed to enough Aaron Sorkin, and you too can be a dazzling wit!

[sakabatou]

24. A replicator and holodeck.

[fleur-de-lisa]

28. I want to be able to eat and drink anything I want . . .

and still wear a size 2.

[FloridaJudy]

29. An instant parking space

In San Francisco or NYC. Have you noticed that there's always one in all the cop shows? Even when they're undercover and driving an unmarked car?

Has anyone ever tried to find a parking space in either of those cities IRL? Of course, that would make Law & Order or Castle pretty boring, "Well here we are still circling the block for the 47th time. Someone's bound to pull out soon..."

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. LOL..each episode would last a week

until a parking space could be found.
Yeah, lack of parking in SF drove me mad, esp. since I had to drive to several places as part of my job.

so I want an invisible car.

[annabanana]

35. YES! That damned PARKING SPACE.

really

[graywarrior]

31. No one ever has to poop or take a piss.

A hostage, or hostages, can be tied up for days at a time, but no one asks to use the bathroom unless it's part of the escape plot. Cripes, I have to pee every 15 minutes. What about all the people with irritable bowel? Yes, I think of these things all the time.

[BainsBane]

34. Bathrooms exist for crawling out of windows

Or blowing coke.

[graywarrior]

36. Or for getting beat up.

[sarge43]

50. Or menstruate

Or notice that the men never grow anything more than some stubble no matter how long they go without shaving.

[BainsBane]

33. One of those super beautiful urban lofts

Even though I am a character with an ordinary job and income

[Lady Freedom Returns]

37. Things in movies I really really really want

George Clooney,Sean Connery, and Kevin Costner .

[raccoon]

40. People have great sex with total strangers, majority of the time with no unpleasant consequences. nt

[TwilightGardener]

42. There is no morning breath, or bad breath period, in romantic

scenes. No one ever turns away in bed and says, "Jesus, how 'bout you brush your teeth first?"

[sarge43]

52. Not even bed head.

Oh I forgot. They have the Magic Hair.

[Skittles]

44. to never work

I've seen entire family dramas over months where no one seems to ever say, "I CAN'T; I HAVE TO GO TO WORK." I'd also like to live in a FABULOUS home while doing that.

[dixiegrrrrl]

45. and yet, they never cleaned house, either.

I want a fabulous self cleaning house, like in the movies.

[Skittles]

46. OMG THAT TOO

ESPECIALLY THEIR KITCHENS - ALWAYS SPOTLESS!!!

[GoCubsGo]

53. Tom Hank's houseboat in "Sleepless in Seattle".

And, the paycheck he got for making that movie. Frasier Crane's apartment would be an acceptable substitute for the houseboat.

Oh, and a light saber.

[Mr.Bill]

54. A parking space right in front of wherever I'm going to.

Even in large busy cities.

[OmahaBlueDog]

55. I want the job where I can be hanging out as a customer at a bar midday, midweek

Yes...I want that job
