    Threadmarks: Entertainment News for March 1987

    Recent public domain entries like Eastland Girls and Fat Albert are popping up on video store displays at retailers across North America and the so-called "budget labels" like Kids Klassics, Goodtimes, Video Treasures, New Age Video, UAV Entertainment and Burbank Video are cashing in by the...

    AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    A war over Austria probably would have led to a stalemate and a humiliating peace once Hitler realizes it's not worth the risk to continue the war, or the German general staff beats him to it and overthrows him. The German army was too small to push, while the Italians' inexperience and the...
  3. How powerful would a (semi) successful United Arab Republic be?

    Thanks for the detailed response i appreciate it a lot. The reason i was asking is that I help run a geopolitical RP community and we have a UAR player that has land consisting of the land i mentioned (forgot about how he owns Kuwait, all of Sudan and only has South Yemen). I was just curious...

    AHC: Make the Romansh Switzerland's dominant ethnic group

    Chur was the capital of one of the first post-Roman states in the region, a prince-bishopric, so it wouldn't be unfeasible for it to form the core of an alt-Swiss state. Having the Germanic tribes stop their advance at the Alps would preserve the old Rhaeto-Romance area in its entirety, too -...

    Sam Westwood's Hollywood
    Threadmarks: Secret Of The Damned (Amicus/Cinerama, April 1975)

    ...because it was about time we did another film together. Nolan: Harris, what can you tell me about Oakley Court? Harris: Well, Nolan, it was a s***hole! (laughs) I mean the place was beautiful but there was no heat or working bathrooms. We only did exterior shots there. I went back to...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I’m surprised the Downing of KAL 007 wasn’t butterflied away. Makes me wonder if there will be a mention on the two nuclear close calls of 1983... Another infidelity scene? rolls eyes That scene of Baldwin’s adoptive daughter finding information on her birth parents: What did the writers...
  7. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The VWP, DRVN and PAVN’s plan for war from 1968 was the “General Offensive” line. Prior to 1968 their line was “General Offensive / General Uprising.” Both focused exclusively on the PRG/NFL controlled areas and RVN areas. North Vietnam did not consider US electorates’ opinion.
  8. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Anyone who seriously argues that we lost the Vietnam War because of leftist protests at home is engaged in Nazi-esque “stab in the back” mythmaking. The decision to draw down was taken before the peace movement really got going, so the causality does not exist. The real reason the US began...
  9. Mexican backed Black South

    Your understanding is correct. The actual numbers, from the 1860 census: SC: 58.6% black MS: 55.3% black LA: 49.5% black AL: 45.4% black GA: 44.0% black Florida was actually slightly blacker than Georgia, at 44.6%. Combined, the five states OP specified would've been 49.8% black, and crept up...

    Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    A Canadian soldier prepares to mount an armored vehicle after the Red Army mounts an invasion of Vancouver Island in conjunction with the invasion of Seattle, November 8, 1989. (This is from World in Conflict. I know the story of the game is unrealistic)

    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    With continuing repression alone the USSR could have kept the lid on+warsaw pact another 20-25 years without changing anything imo. Hungarian/yugoslav level shifts in economic reforms, combined with embracing russian nationalism would be all that's needed to keep it going even now. This doesn't...
  12. The Quarter-BAM project

    Would it be okay if we made exceptions for the World Wars? I'm planning on doing a map for August 31, 1939.
  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Wow, that was something. Staring us right in the face from OTL. Should’ve seen that coming! They even gave us a hint in last week’s bonus material. Other initial impressions: hey it’s Jimmy! Does he have the potential to hold Georgia’s seat in the senate for the Democrats for the next 40...

    What is it with people losing motivation on these maps?
  15. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    ...That reliance on artillery means long supply chains would have to be set up, which the PAVN and VC quickly learned to focus their attacks on*. Their 122mm and 130mm artillery usually outranged American artillery so air support was needed. Now the Americans could work their way around this...

  17. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I challenge anyone to save Carry On Columbus.
  18. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    I think that one of the greatest unrecognized problems of the Soviet Union was the universalistic claims of the Soviet system. The Soviet system was not perfect, but comparing it to pretty much the entire world save Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, and various small city states...

    If Rome got rid of slavery would it have advanced more?

    I don't really think slavery has much to do with their technological stagnation. The Greek world also had its fair share of slaves, which did not stop scientific advancement.
  20. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Bonfire of the Vanities: I don't know if this film can be saved, but, for starters, have either Alan Arkin stay as the judge or cast Edward James Olmos as the judge. Then, have Uma Thurman play Maria Ruskin, John Cleese or Daniel Day-Lewis play Peter Fallow (Fallow was British), and have...
