What would you want from a Gilmore Girls movie?
MOREMOREMORE
A couple of us have been spitballing on-going story ideas in the comments for ‘Would Rory have a Kindle’ thread and I’m drawn to wonder, what would be on your wishlist for a Gilmore Girls movie? More more MORE Lorelai and Rory goes without saying, but then what else?
Was there ever a character combo you longed for, but never got, say… Michel and Gigi - who’d win that catfight? Nudge my memory, did Chris and Jess ever share a scene? They were both at Sookie and Jackson’s wedding, but I only remember Jess seeking out Rory… Or a pairing you wanted to
Joss Whedon would kill off Jackson. Or Mrs Kim.
We’ve all chewed on our fists as the Palladinos edged toward some happy state of affairs only to snatch it away with Luke needing space or Logan being an ass or Emily being Emily - would that feature in a movie or edge it into melodrama? Perhaps a Thanksgiving / Christmas two-parter special rather than a feature-length?
I like the idea of the town pulling together to help Taylor. And now I want to see Kirk drive into Luke’s again - flash flash flash… gotta have some slapstick. BIG HOLE!
Surely we can’t break Luke and Lorelai up for the sake of a happy reconciliation in the final reel… or can we? Maybe Luke has another Rachel in the closet, ooh - his first love comes back to Stars Hollow, sending Lorelai into a flat spin - while Max’s fiancee has booked them a couple of nights at the Dragonfly… drama!
Would someone find themselves on a journey and becoming better for it (hard to type that without sounding like Stewie Griffin)? Maybe Emily comes to terms with the idea of life without Richard - perhaps he’s already gone - oh no, that’s too sad, I’m washing my mouth out with soap. What would it take for Emily to, even resentfully, accept an extended modern family, with Gigi and whoever Rory’s dating now and April?
Kirk makes a couple of million dollars on some crazy investment deal and somehow loses it by the end. No ground rules here, no stupid ideas. Just… what would you want?
What do you need?
