Notes
ITTL, Shaquille O'Neal still appears in this film, except the off-brand basketball uniform he wears on screen is based on the look the Minnesota Timberwolves have worn since 1996. Shaq played for the Magic and Lakers before joining the T-Wolves via trade in 2004. On the court, he, KG and Ray Allen have formed an intimidating trio.​

Please stop.

I know it's annoying but sometimes I miss stuff.

David Shire's Manhattan Skyline (below) was used by SBC as the de-facto theme for at least the first five years of Wednesday Night Hockey. Snippets of the song were often used as cues for sponsor billboards too. SBC's Wednesday Night Hockey's inaugural telecast was the October 8, 1980, matchup between the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers from Madison Square Garden.

Early WNH games tended to emphasize regional rivalries, such as Pens-Flyers, Rangers-Isles, Admirals-Hawks and even Canucks-Thunderbirds.

The February 3, 1982, broadcast is remembered for the Colorado Rockies skating onto the McNichols Arena ice to the musical accompaniment of Pac Man Fever ahead of their matchup with the Edmonton Oilers.

At the beginning, Al Trautwig hosted the pregame, intermission and postgame reports from the studios of SBC's New York City O&O WNYW. Jim Gordon, normally the voice of the Rangers at the time, served as the inaugural play-by-play announcer for the 1980-81 season. During the '81 offseason, Gordon quit and was replaced by Bob Miller, who had been the voice of Kings broadcasts on then-independent KCOP, now Fox's Los Angeles O&O.

Mike "Doc" Emrick became WNH's signature voice starting with the 1985-86 season.​

Just like IOTL, Midnight Flite's Don't Turn Away (below) was the de-facto theme for NBC Sports programming between 1978 and early 1982.

Before we get to X-Men: Dark Phoenix, is there anything I missed that I should cover first?

Wasn't there another anime that Disney was supposed to get?

 

[OldNavy1988]

Wasn't there another anime that Disney was supposed to get?

Yeah, that's gonna be tough. I wanted to give them Lupin III, but I think that should go to Lionsgate instead as part of the ADV/Geneon purchase. That purchase alone should give Lionsgate an easier time competing with Fox, New Line and Touchstone's Ghibli dubs.

I think later I might have Disney/Fox dub My Hero Academia unless that's too adult. I also thought of maybe Midori Days, but that one doesn't seem as well-known IOTL.

Before I forget, Ghibli's dubs after Spirited Away have pretty much been the same as OTL.

How about Sgt. Frog, Hikaru No Go and The Prince Of Tennis?

Those are perfectly friendly and ready.

And give Lionsgate Lupin, and move One Piece to the newly combined ADV/Geneon unit.

I'd have Disney/FOX dub MHA, Dr. Stone and Fire Force.

In fact, Sgt. Frog, HnG and TPoT could all debut this fall.

HnG could air on Toon Disney, TPoT could air on DIsney Channel and Sgt. Frog could air on Fox Kids.

How's that sound?

That sounds good but I want to hear what everyone else thinks before I choose. Thank you though.

Don't forget there's also David Thomson, who IOTL co-owns the Winnipeg Jets with Mark Chipman.

 

[TheFaultsofAlts]

I personally find those ideas really good.

Also, not only should John Belushi consider this an improvement over the last time he was on SNL, but it's only a few months before the next presidential election. What's an impeachment, more or less?

Notes
- The "turning point" speech by Xavier that was only heard in the OTL teaser is spoken over black right before the cold open of Magneto and Xavier visiting a young Jean Grey.
- The Sentinels make their first appearance in the film series, built to destroy mutants that refuse to be cured.
- As the Brotherhood storm Alcatraz and the Sentinels slaughter mutants from both sides, the Pentagon tries to shut down the Sentinels but a fatal glitch in the programming makes the robots unstoppable.
- Many mutants on both the X-Men and Brotherhood are killed off during the course of the film. The survivors are forced into hiding, questioning what awaits them while mourning their fallen comrades.

Wolverine (Hugh Jackman):
"What's your next play call, coach?"

Professor X (Patrick Stewart):
"I don't know."

- After that exchange, Magneto is still seen at the park playing chess right before the end credits.

Logo Trivia
ITTL, X-Men: Dark Phoenix is the first film to begin with a new 20th Century-Fox logo created by Weta Digital.

I vote for Sgt. Frog because it's been woefully underutilized here in the states.

We'll great. But two significant hits, Disney's The Omen and Touchstone's Cars, as well as Universal's Fast and Furious 3 will came out this month, along with New Line Cinema's (OTL Warner Bros. made the movie) The Lake House.

But a new theme is revealed for SBC Action News and it was composed by Stephen Arnold.

 

[OldNavy1988]

The Omen
Released by 20th Century-Fox on June 6, 2006.

A remake of the 1976 Gregory Peck/Lee Remick film.

Cast and Crew
Same as OTL

Notes
- The original Omen was 20th Century-Fox's first release through Buena Vista Distribution Co, Inc. However, some argue it is not the first R-rated release under Disney's ownership, believing that honor should belong to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was Fox's first release after Disney announced their purchase in July of 1975. The acquisition was completed 72 hours before principal photography began on the original Omen.

- Alan Ladd, Jr. was Fox's head of creative affairs during the sale to Disney and oversaw production on the original Omen. It was under Laddie's watch that development of the original Star Wars transferred from Hyperion to Fox when George Lucas asked for his film to open with the Fox fanfare.

- The infamous tricycle scene was later parodied in a Little Audrey short produced during the Fox Movietoon revival in the mid-to-late Eighties.

- The Omen remake is the first installment in the franchise to use the Cinemascope extended version of the Fox fanfare. Previous installments only used the short 1935 version.​
