  1. For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

    This timeline is marvelous. Though it covers the era I grew up in, it looks barely recognizable because it's defined by boisterous anger instead of wimpy defiance. Fantastic job, Count.
  2. Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

    Please tell me Pasek and Paul are still successful with Dear Evan Hansen or something else then.
  3. Laughin' Place: Redefining Disney

    In the 80s, Queen were only a decade away from their first success, and so they still sounded somewhat fresh at the time (unlike the Stones, the Who, Dylan, or any other major 60s artist who wasn't Aretha or Paul Simon). They were more likely to, to quote one of Queen's contemporaries, ro-o-oll...
  4. Laughin' Place: Redefining Disney

    @HeX Even though The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh only got moderately received ITTL, I'm glad it appears to have actually had a real theatrical release. IOTL, it was barely released in theaters and it only got massively popular after it was put on VHS in the early 80s.
  5. Laughin' Place: Redefining Disney

    I hope it doesn't. The Beatles in the 80s is a SCARY thought for me...look at the Stones' Dirty Work or Dylan's Knocked Out Loaded and then tell me 60s stars weren't embarrassing themselves to death during that decade. (Wilburys excepted of course, but they had Petty to give them a fresh...
  6. Laughin' Place: Redefining Disney

    Disney giving Lucas full creative control, and by doing so pretty much embracing New Hollywood? YES. I'm interested to see what other films they will make in the 70s that will help break them away from their exclusively kiddy image. On another note, it surprises me that TTL's Beauty and the...
  7. DBWI: Star Wars gets a movie sequel

    Hmm...would it have been as good as The Godfather Part II, as mediocre as French Connection II, or as bad as The Sting II? Hard to say.
  8. Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

    I now want to know what New England's other great early 20th century writers, e.e. cummings and Robert Frost, did ITTL.
  9. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    Yeah, earlier this year. www.theguardian.com/games/2018/feb/01/nolan-bushnell-atari-pioneer-award-game-developers-conference-san-francisco
  10. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    By the way, did The Man Behind the Myth finally put to rest the dumb rumor that Walt was a Nazi sympathizer?
  11. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    I hope Bushnell isn't a gross human being ITTL.
  12. Our Fair Country: The Commonwealth of New England

    Did Carlton Fisk still have a career?
  13. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    Don't call him Harkinian. That was only the King's name in the widely hated CD-i games.
  14. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    Dole is dangerously close to being completely out of character like Nelson Rockefeller was. I quite highly doubt that Dole would care one bit about some foreign entertainer.
  15. American Magic: A Different History of Disney

    Glad we've made it to the new millennium. Hopefully President Dole can survive the Roy Moore situation to last another term.
