Now thats a crazy title, isn’t it? A piece of dialogue from ‘Back to the Future Part 2’. Yet it has a great deal to do with this update. So there are two things to address. Since the title is about movies I will address the one regarding it first.
I am loathe to edit my timeline unless absolutely necessary because:
- I have to remember the alteration which I do by creating wikipedia entries. I do that by editing the code on the real wikipedia to my reality then print it to pdf. This makes it easier and more professional.
- Any change has ripple effects. Kayne West dies before his first ablum. No albums, no associations, no marriage to Kim etc. I have to remember those two. So I try to keep those to areas I won’t be in and only make ones that will make the everything better in my estimation. Some people might love Kayne, or Katy Perry or Justin Beiber. I don’t. Honestly, they, in my estimation have not made things better. (Not that they are required too)
- By having Emmett Cetus own Siren Song Records across the 20th century I have radically changed the industry already. This means alot of things here are not the same as in the assembly reality. So if I can leave well enough alone, I like too.
Unfortunately, that option was left out again with Harvey Weinstein. History reveals a man of brutish behavior who while in college started hustling musicians in Buffalo beginning with Stephen Stills and then when he formed Miramax with his brother continued those ways into the 90s. I would have liked to have made him a Piscine (a warrior of Dagon leader). However, the abominable sexual harrassment precludes this. In fact, his actions are more suitable for a porn producer than a Hollywood one.
So I am left with 2 options: remove him entirely from the timeline or remove his contribution. I opt for the second. There is no proof that his brother Bob is like him. There is proof that Bob is still married and few speak ill of him personally. So, I did my research, discovered this:
- Crosby Stills and Nash were signed by Atlantic, as was the Buffalo underground. Since in the Assembly reality, Siren Song owns Atlantic at that point as well as Emmett being a Politico, the solution is remove Harvey from promoting Stephen while Harvey and Corky were in SUNY. That shove would lean Corky enough to NOT form a company with Harvey to promote bands in Buffalo. This also removes the money to save to launch the studio.
- Fund Sex, lies and Videotape and secure distribution before Stephen Soderberg takes it to Sundance. That removes the first major movie for Miramax. Repeat this with Pulp fiction. Without these two, Miramax doesn’t become powerful, and it most likely is consumed by Disney in the nineties and vanishes.
Even if this doesn’t happen, this takes away the two cornerstones of Harveys career ensuring that he doesn’t get to work for himself and be the raging asshole and sexual pig he is.
Does this fix the endemic problem Hollywood has with sex, drugs and breaking people? No. It simpy removes a problem. 25 movies including some I enjoy. SMH
ON the flipside, I will post the new wikipedia for Old viacom, current CBS. While looking to solve another problem for ‘Heartbeat Song’ that Emmett needed to own Viacom. Well, found that was easy. Simply block Sumner Redstone from buying it.
Considering how powerful Emmett is at the opening of Midnight Train Song. Its not hard to believe that he was already a billionaire for the bulk of the 20th century. While the surface people believe that Emmett is his own grandson, to the assembly this isn’t a big deal. So Siren Song buys Viacom and history continues. Sumner Redstone remains a bit movie house player.
This means that Siren song also owns MTV too. Which further guarentees that Harvey Weinstein simply never gets involved in Hollywood. I am of the option of actually having him removed more forcefully from the timeline and mentioning it in ‘Song of Route 91’
This leads me to the second part. After the massacre in Las Vegas and the seeming cover up that is happening (even if it is just incompetence it looks suspecious) I decided to write a short story set in now with Gwen and Tom. This is set after Gwen becomes Queen and after Tom and her wake up/resurrect Lorelei. The story actually revolves around Gwens emotions about this.
The three decide to stop the massacre since they are at the festival as guests. Song selection reveals emotion and tells the story while you see a bit more of the older mature Tom struggle with the fact he needs to choose who he is with.
It follows the timeline where the shooter fires for 10 minutes starting at 10:06 pm. I will post it here when i am finishing editing it. Orginally, I used firework and an orginal song. I am dumping firework and going more gospel.
So as of this point, the people removed or no longer having the influence in Assembly reality they have in ours are:
- Katy Perry (as she remains a christian artist since her label didnt die)
- Kanye West (who died in the auto accident he survived in 2002)
- Justin Beiber (who thanks to the onion parody is a pedo named Michael cole)
- Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren (all are dead while growing up in Compton due to the neighborhood they lived in via drive bys etc)
- Ice Cube. (who became a executive chef in his own restuarant in the Luxor.)
- Jerry Heller (who had a history of heart problems. His first Heart attack was in the 80s so instead of surviving it and living on to help creat Hip-Hop, he dies of it)
- Emimen (without Dr. Dre he doesn’t escape 8 Mile. Orginally I was going to have someone else help him but aftre his anti-Trump tirade, no.)
- Harvey Weinstein
I have not removed the Clintons or any other powerful politicans because, well, they can be Piscine.
I do believe that covers everything. Story should be live by the end of the week. Sadly, it will be the only one as I wont be able to make another Christmas one. Its not large enough for Nanowrimo so You all might see something else I have buried for this year.
Until the morrow…
