The decision to replace James Levine with Jahja Ling was a tough one to make.

I heard a lot about Levine's misconduct IOTL.

At the same time, Jahja Ling was the man who conducted the orchestra that accompanied Whitney Houston's performance of the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. Also, IOTL, I was a teenager when Maestro Ling was music director of the San Diego Symphony. Even though I wasn't a big symphony guy, it was cool see a guy of his talent run our local orchestra and continue doing so until recently.​

Well this is very great! The new films coming out this winter were Fox's X-Men, Touchstone/Nickelodeon's The Ren and Stimpy Movie and Hollywood Pictures' Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. We shall all began 2000 (the new millennium) with Universal's Snow Falling on Cedars, New Line Cinema's Next Friday, Carolco's (OTL MGM made the film) Supernova, TriStar Pictures' (OTL New Line Cinema made the film) Magnolia, Warner Bros.' My Dog Skip, Golden Harvest's Down to You, New Line Cinema's (OTL Franchise Pictures made the film) The Boondock Saints, and Destination Films' Eye of the Beholder.

Malcom in the Middle made its debut on Fox. The theme music TTL was "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" by The Backstreet Boys (OTL's theme was "Boss of Me" by They Might Be Giants), as the Backstreet Boys made a contract with 20th Century Fox Records.

So, who won between Cats, Stuart, and Fantasia? All I'm saying is that this fight could be any movie's victory in this case.

Stuart Little actually won with Cats and Fantasia 2000 tied for second.

 

[TheFaultsofAlts]

Stuart Little actually won with Cats and Fantasia 2000 tied for second.

Not bad for Sony. Winning against both DreamWorks and even Disney has got to be an accomplishment. And besides, it looked to me like a nearly-even drawout between those three features anyway.

So with Cats out, does that mean we'll get thr trilogy of ALW musicals such as Joseph for 2000 or '01 and Starlight Express for 2004? The latter would come out nicely for the show's 20th anniversary though maybe a slightly revised cast before then compared to the old TL.

Now all we need is Blackadder to roundup 1999 here and we have a pretty good year pop culture wise.

 

[OldNavy1988]

Very quickly, here's the opening for the Wallace and Gromit VHS tapes released in the US:

 

[FireDragon845]

Stanley Kubrick would do A.I.: Artificial Intelligence for MGM also that year.

Unfortunately, I don't think Kubrick finished A.I on time ITTL.

Concerning Blackadder, I'll need the cast and crew before I do the update.

I think Kubrick passed away before Eyes Wide Shut was released IOTL.
