As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

I hope the whalers move to some place other carolinia which Is where they moved otl. I suppurt the idea of it moving to nolfolk because nolfok had a failed bid forthe whalers and virgina is the largest state of with a major league sport team. The whalers were supposed to be renamed the hampton roads rhino with the nolfok bid was succesful
The Carolinas already have the Charlotte Checkers, so the Whalers will be headed elsewhere.

Jerry Maguire
Released by TriStar Pictures​
In these months alone, barring the more well-known films which would likely get their own updates, this cavalcade of features includes:
2 New Line Cinema films
2 Golden Harvest films
1 Warner Bros. film
2 Disney/Fox films
1 Touchstone Picture
2 TriStar releases
2 MGM/UA/Turner features

Given the track record, Touchstone is at a disadvantage so far in the Winter season, even compared to WB's sole B-list offering. On the bright side, though, those with more than one film in the docket have a movie that people know exists and an unknown project at the same time. Especially Scream, Beavis and Butthead, and Mars Attacks.

Notes
- Shadows of the Empire follows most of the same plotlines as the video game, comics and novel of OTL.
- IOTL, Shadows of the Empire was created to reignite the Star Wars fandom ahead of the special editions and prequel trilogy.​
 
Shadows of the Empire Addendum
Shadows of the Empire begins with a shot of the Fox logo at its normal angle with the searchlights waving across the sky while the brass section blasts the first few notes of the fanfare. The Fox logo then fades to a short version of the Amblin logo (just the bike wheels spinning), which is accompanied by the Cinemascope extension of the Fox fanfare, similar to the Fox/Lucasfilm pairing in the OTL Star Wars films.

The reform party is gaining ground with those who were formerly Moderate Republicans. The last major Republican will likely be Mitch McConnell.

SO are you planing on destorying the republican party. Will a third huge scandel cause them to colaspe or are just going to slowly fade away. I hope the reform party gets atleast one president. Also will a new pary form out the ashes of the republican for more consetive republican. If so I The new party will probbly weak at frist but they may be have picked up steam by 2016 or 2020

The new party might be weak, and a third scandal caused them to collapse. The reform party is about to get one president.

When we get to that, we will about to do the movies of January 1997 later. These were The Relic (New Line Cinema), Beverly Hills Ninja (TriStar Pictures), Metro (Touchstone Pictures), Prefontaine (Touchstone Pictures) and Shadow Conspiracy (Golden Harvest).

2) Yeah, it's Disney Quest pretty much, but it'll be more of a competitor to Dave and Buster's.
4) Going forward, FHE will be switching back to the yellow paper logo (below), but "remastered" with updated animation. ITTL, this appeared on pre-1992 VHS copies of the TMNT TV series. Walt Disney Home Video took over Turtle tape duties starting with titles released in September of 1992.

Yes you may post those game releases.
