That only happens in the movies
Watched Last Action Hero tonight. I'm very fond of that film and am disappointed that other folks didn't think it was as clever as I did. (Plus a cameo by Sir Ian.)
Made me wistfully think, again, that there are aspects of genre fiction that would be quite handy. Being perpetually in school, like on most television shows, means nobody graduates and vanishes off into some other life. Nobody gets laid off and has to move back home. For the most part, nobody dies. Life doesn't tear people away from you. Of course, contract disputes still do. Cancellation raises some serious philosophical debate too.
