  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Maybe I misunderstood (very likely) but wasn't Prince of Darkness a 'smart' slasher? With it's theme that scientist shouldn't be curious or investigate new things, because if they do they will be killed? Hellraiser seems to be playing with more complex themes if they get...
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Not really a slasher person myself, honestly. There's only so much "Guy In Mask Kills Horny Teen Idiots" that I can take. I prefer Psychological Horror like Silence of the Lambs and Jacob's Ladder, personally. Freddy's wise-ass comments made some of those films mildly entertaining for me, and I...
  3. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Well it happen in OTL, but this time Panama has the Soviet Union behind them.
  4. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    Disregarding the fact that Germany was no where close to obtaining any type of nuclear weapons, you're saying that the soviets with the best intelligence service in the world is just going to chill there while the Germans obtain air supremacy and nuclear weapons and be cool with it?

    AHCWI: Milanese Italy

    Well depends, if he can focus for some goddamn time he could come up with some very early muskets, breech loading rifles would maybe be a concept but very impractical, he could also probably come up with star forts on his own and probably could make double hull ships more wide spread, also...
  6. Comte de Dordogne

    AHCWI: Milanese Italy

    @Basileus_Komnenos made a map about an MilanWank a few months ago. Ask him about it.
  7. Jesus is born Judith

    At best she is remembered as good women like ester or Deborah almost no jew would call her rabbi much less , she most likely is never crucified ( which is a big change ) Another thing is that she unlike jesus according to all of the gospels is not the son ( in this case daughter ) of god and...
  8. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    The Germans would have the ME262 in 1945, which would wipe out obsolete British propeller driven planes. Speer estimated the Germans could have a nuke by 1947 if they devoted enough resources to it. At peace in 1942 Germany wouldn't have scuttled the nuke program and have the spare capacity to...
  9. WI/AHC: Viceroyalty of Rio Grande

    Another thing, both regions will have strongly pro independence criollo elites. Why? Lets look at Nueva Granada and Río de la Plata. In Gran Colombia you had a pro independence criollo elite bc of the the plantation slave owners dispissed spanish comerical monopoly also the fact they were...
  10. Better 20th Century for France?

    So re-negotiate them then. It's certainly a cheaper thing than propping up Russia so as to be able to provoke war and retake AL.

    AHCWI: Milanese Italy

    italian sailing for non-italian powers. But you're right of course, it the rulers can find a way to secure access to the straits of gibralter
  12. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    Even if the Germans had industrial parity with the Allies (which I agree is ASB) you also run into the other problems Germany will have when it comes with increased industrialization, such as their lack or natural resources and manpower. I mean what good is all of these new factories pumping out...
  13. AHCWI: Milanese Italy

    What realistically could he come up with? Any hope for breech loading rifles centuries before?
  14. curlyhairedhippie

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    With João and Eleanor already married ITTL then, Charles will be good with Portugal? I mean he has still scorned Isabella (and not even for a princess, for some English knight's daughter) but at least Eleanor is married there.
  15. 2018 Presidential Election

    I'm surprised Lobbell III has never had an interest in running.
  16. Effects of both Hurricane & Spitfire designed to carry Oerlikon FF 20mm cannon from start

    I would suggest reading Antony G William's articles on the Oerlikon cannon family of 20mm. He suggests that the Oerlikon FFS was a great missed opportunity. realistically a 30kg 20mm cannon, belt fed and firing at higher ROF than the Hispan was eminently practicable by 1937/8. Oerlikon guns...
  17. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    How about a female slasher, just to shake things up? Only one we've got right now is... (sigh) Blood Widow.
  18. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    The umayyed caliphate would be like : great you are a muslim ok good now submit to the caliphate They would have not accepted anything less than subjugation or to make the byzantine emperor a vassal even then as mentioned it's not something he can delay and as mentioned the mere idea is going...
  19. AHCWI: Milanese Italy

    Considering how many of the early explorers were Italian, I'd imagine Italy would be in a prime spot to have American or other overseas colonies of its own, no?
  20. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    That's kinda debatable, in that Islamic philosophy kinda did get assimilated, if you see the numerous assertions by very educated Muslims that the science of Vedanta is coterminous with the science of Sufism. Nevertheless I see your point, and I'm reminded of the debate I saw in Audrey...
