Wishing on some movie magic

A good friend of mine used to say "The fantasy is always better than the reality." While I don't agree completely -- sometimes reality has a way of surpassing our finite imagination -- the central truth holds. Like Gatsby's Daisy, our mundane existence rarely lives up to the colossal vitality of our illusions.

I can accept that, and in some ways embrace it. But I still can't help wishing life were a little more like the movies. I'm not asking for anything big, like happy endings for everyone. Just little things like:

• Getting a heads-up from the weather that something bad is about to happen. Ever notice that most movie tragedies occur with a backdrop of cloudy or rainy weather? Why can't precipitation be a warning sign to just stay home for the day?
• Music indicating mood. This one is similar to the first. Reading situations would be far easier if music warned us that something ominous were about to happen, we're on the verge of triumph or two people are accidentally falling in love. Also, music montages while studying hard (preferably struggling with a stack of books).
• Sound effects. Self-explanatory.
• End credits when something is really over. Some movies have surprise endings, but you can always be sure the story is over when the credits role. Life milestones should have credits. This could include ordeals, conversations or relationships. Actually, many movies contain extras during the credits, so maybe life should have the equivalent of the lights going on.
• Previews. Wouldn't having clues as to how something is going to turn out be nice? I'm not talking about ruining the story -- just a general idea of what we're in for. A drama? Thriller? Romance? Comedy?
• Comedic sidekicks. I need one of these badly. I'm even willing to be one under the right conditions.
• Stadium seating. Everywhere.
