Alf! AND NOW THIS! Throw on your stupid slap bracelets and prepare to never grow up. (Please grow up.) Someone interviewed Dante Basco, who played Rufio in 1991′s Hook, and asked him if people still care about Rufio (A: “care” is a strong word) to which he responded:
Actually there’s a film in development, the Rufio film, where a hotshot group of kids from the East Coast graduated and they wrote this whole script, the prequel to Hook and it’s the Rufio story. We have it right now with a director, Rpin Suwannath who’s doing the new Zorro for Fox. He has the script and he’s attached to the film and I’m attached to produce so that’s actually in development right now which’ll be cool, a Rufio for a whole new generation.
DETONATE THE INTERNET. Rarely has a story so inconsequential gotten so much attention. Just kidding. Every inconsequential story gets at least this much attention because that’s how Al Gore invented it. But, obviously this is not really happening. So sorry Dante Brasco! (Although I would definitely see a movie called Dante Brasco about Rufio infiltrating one of the five syndicated crime families.) But who are some other 1990s side characters who will definitely never get their very own movie projects but should at least get 12 hours of Blog Buzz? My vote, obviously, goes to a psycho-sexual thriller directed by Brian DePalma called Fuller, Take It Easy On The Prostitutes.

Holy crap I can’t believe that this kid is all grown up… time sure flies. I like the Blade Runner/Jerry Mcguire mix to his message too. Those two movies should have combined forever ago.
Ummm, OBVIOUSLY the rapper who was topped by Teen Witch.
noooooo facetaco! that would set the movie bar TOO HIGH, as only making a prequel to the teen witch’s quirky friend would be able to top it. And nothing would be able to top that! Nothing! We proceed to then live and fight in vain, knowing that the apex of human artistry has come and gone.

I’d pay monies to see an alternate Silence of the Lambs sequel/spinoff involving Miggs, called “Tossin’ One Off (in Heaven)”
This comment is perfection.

Jessie Camp.
Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? My best Halloween costume ever was when I dressed up as him in 7th grade.
He’s probably dead.
Nope. Just old and not famous.
I’m pitching my script, Whoa!: The Early Triumphs of the Guy Who Said That in Blossom.
If you don’t like it, I also have some Oscar bait here called Sh@t My Dad Says: The Holocaust Years.
Whoa…how can you call Joey from Blossom tertiary???
Ha, that’s funny: I just came back to this thread to reply to myself because I realized both Joey and the Sh@t-Dad were much, MUCH more important characters than Rufio (aka “background artist #4″).
I want to see a sitcom about the kidnappers from 3 Ninjas.
Slow it…
I’d like to see a what the tertiary characters from that 90s show, 2 Broke Girls, are up to.
The greased-up saxophone guy from Lost Boys, please!
YESSS!! Technically this is 80′s, but I’ll allow it. And his name is Tim Cappelo. The “I Still Believe” scene is one of my favorites of all time. It’s right up there with the John Parr “Man in Motion” video from St. Elmo’s Fire

Rob Lowe already did it for Lifetime
This wins. I say it now and I will stand my ground. This wins.
I have no reason whatsoever for posting this.
I would seriously watch a spinoff involving pretty much any of the supporting characters from Big Lebowski (e.g. Steve Buschemi, John Goodman, Julianne Moore), but if we’re sticking to tertiary characters, I think my top 5 would look like this:
1. Brandt (Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
2. Marty (Lebowski’s landlord)
3. Jesus (obviously)
4. Maude Lebowski’s giggling bald friend
5. The Nihilists
John Turturro has actually shown interest in doing a spin-off movie about The Jesus. And Tara Reid is convinced that they’re making a sequel, and she is going to be in it. Nobody else seems to know anything about that, though, so she MIGHT not be a reliable source.
Working title: Yah, It’s Been Reeeel Hurd

Good call. I thought of him, but noticed that suggestion would mean I wanted two prequels about teenage thieves.
All the upvotes because you agree!
That was supposed to show a picture of Jay and Silent Bob, but I think it was censored for being to much of a great idea.
To much? I give up!

I’m sending you my specs. I want to write for this show. I want to write for all 14 seasons of it. What is it called? How about: The Never Graduate.
I *would* hire you, but after the Small Wonder incident of an hour ago, I honestly don’t know if you have what it takes.

I want a prequel where we learn about shrimp (and life) from Bubba
FUCK YEAH! So many kinds of shrimp to explore.

56 comments on an ALF article and 63 on a Rufio article. I guess my town isn’t the only place where the weather sucks.
But that Dante Brasco idea is genius. Some dude named Virgil shows up and says he’s a friend of Beatrice (a dancer at a mafia-owned strip joint called The Inferno and the only woman Dante ever loved… she took his innocence, man) and she’s gone missing. The only person who can infiltrate the criminal underworld and find out what happened to her is Master Impersonator Dante Brasco! It writes itself.
Wrong decade, but I’d pay cash money to see The Scut Farkus Story.
