Alternate Endings

Over the weekend I watched two movies on DVD with an alternate ending feature. One movie (Little Miss Sun Shine) actually had four different endings.

I've always thought that life should come with an alternate ending feature. When you're about to "move on to the other side", you should be allowed to see how your life would have ended had you done things differently.

What if I didn't go to law school? What if I did but didn't join the Perm? What if I stayed in Manila? What if I went on that third date with whatshisface.

[Let me think about all that for a minite.]

Ahhh, the un-possibilities.

For what it's worth, with all the films I've seen with alternate endings, the real ending is always the best.
