Relax, we'll wait for you to get through your current situation. I just hope repairs don't cost you too much.

Cool, RoboCop and Terminator having a Franco-British baby.

Sounds about right.

I imagine it stayed mostly the same, maybe the Seventh Doctor era features a few swipes at Rumsfeld and Rumsfeldist politicians. I was actually thinking of offering my version of the Seventh Doctor story The Happiness Patrol as a dark satire of Rumsfeld's America, with the titular patrol being a...

The Economists Know Best: 1981-1989: Milton Friedman / Thomas Sowell (Republican) def. 1980: Jimmy Carter / Walter Mondale (Democratic) def. 1984: Jesse Jackson / Ron Delums (Democratic) 1989-1997: Thomas Sowell / Francis Fukuyama (Republican) def. 1988: Michael Dukakis / Tip O'Neill...

To give Johnson credit, the twist that Luthor was actually a powerless Zor-El this whole time was a novel one and when you look back at his behavior in World's Finest and how his actions contributed to the creation of the Justice League, it sort of makes sense, almost. Like I said I liked the...

I actually really liked it, the ending reminded me of my two favorite Superman stories, All-Star Superman and Superman: Red Son and it was a fitting end for the Clark Kent Superman in the DCCU. I don't think it's as good as either Man of Steel or World's Finest but it was good, it was better...

And that's what they did with Rian Johnson and Superman: Man of Steel and it was awesome. Ben Whishaw was a very tragic Toyman, a solid contrast to Clark Kent's childhood which made him super relatable and he was a great starter villain for Superman and it actually set up World's Finest by...

Rian Johnson's World's Finest was a so much better version of this movie, Oscar Isaac and Armie Hammer were a better Superman and Batman than Cage and Keaton respectively, Heath Ledger was a phenomenal Joker as was Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor and Doomsday actually had a narrative point as part...

F@ck me I forgot about that R2 knockoff. Yeah, Superman Lives was a mess, too many villains, a slapdash adaptation of the "Death of Superman" storyline leading to Superman Returns being an equally slapdash adaptation of the "Reign of the Supermen" storyline with Steel and Cyborg Superman getting...

Superman Lives is horribly overrated if you ask me, yeah it had its good moments and Hopkins was a good Lex Luthor but the film suffered from Cage's schizo Superman, Kevin Smith's all-over-the-place script, no really can somebody explain what was he thinking with that giant spider-I'm sorry...

As I've said a few times already on the subject of ITTL versions of 80s cult movies, I doubt The Terminator would be made ITTL at all. James Cameron only became a filmmaker OTL after being inspired by watching Star Wars, which in this TL is an obscure animated film. And even if Cameron did...

Not possible, an oligarchy was necessary for the creation of a capitalist economy, the only way to privatize the economy was to sell government assets to individuals who wouldn't have a lot of money and would then immediately make a lot of money via their ownership of businesses. Capitalist...

One way it could work is the Ridley Scott still makes the original film as OTL, released at the beginning of the Rumsfeld administration (around '81 at the latest). Then due to James Cameron never being inspired to be a filmmaker watching Star Wars and as a result remaining an average joe...

Somewhere in Canada I imagine given his disdain for religious fundamentalism and conservatism.

The PoD is the 1972 Presidential Race so yes he was.

I meant every state that's still part of the union.

Alternate Case Red: The Libertarians stop straddling the line between right-libertarianism and left-libertarianism after someone points out that their small business-orientated version of capitalism only ran back the clock on capitalism and that another Rummy will happen again in a century or so...

I doubt either HW Bush or Clinton would do that, without being bludgeoned with the "socialism sucks" stick by the "keep your government out of my X" crowd that Reagan cultivated during the 80s. Also 40 years of the Chicago Plan may butterfly away the S&L Crisis altogether.

Not really, chances are Ronald Reagan would've repealed the Chicago Plan along with the other banking de-regulations he did in the eight years he was President.
