As Dreamers Do Part Deux

[Tacomaster]

And you still haven't told me what's a power/revenge fantasy........

Seriously, what genre is that?

Google is your friend

Former President Harvey Weinstein announces his 2012 campaign despite being currently under criminal investigation for sexual assaults alleged to have taken place during his first term in office.
- CNN

At the Hi-Ho Lounge, Roseanne Barr was booed off stage after wasting the audience's time whining about how our very own Blanche Boudreaux should be happy with her current job. At the moment, Boudreaux released a statement expressing anger over Columbia-Tristar's lack of marketing effort to promote her revenge fantasy pet project Silent X.
- The New Orleans Times-Picayune

If Rachel Stone-Abbott plays her cards right, not only would Blanche Boudreaux be able to start a new job at Legendary almost right away, but Silent X could very well become one of the few characters to appear in the universes of both DC and Marvel, creating potential rights issues in the future.

The Modifyers, an independently produced pilot created by Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor, will become the first original series for Oaxis.

Bally throws a lifeline to Bob Iger in hopes of recovery from Herb Scannell's mishandling of Comedy Central's recent PR disasters.
- CNBC

Dr. T. Berry Brazelton (pediatrician): "The news media should be ashamed of itself for persistently and invasively bugging Tiffany Disney about the right time to toilet train her 2 year old son when she already admits her own incontinence issues put her in a paradoxical position."
- Letter to the editor of The New York Times

The Sports Page
President-elect Barack Obama confirms multiple championship winners will visit the White House during his first 100 days in office. These include the 2007-08 Mighty Ducks of San Diego, the 2007-08 Detroit Pistons, the 2007 Arizona Cardinals and the 2008 Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
- The Washington Post

1: And there we go. Of course Harvey Weinstein can't escape his primal urges, even in another timeline where he stopped 9/11 from happening.
2: Lounges like that should either protect their comedians better, or not hire people like Rosanne Barr in the first place.
3: Good for short-term success, not as good for long-term legacy.
4: Great!
5: I don't blame him or them.
6: For shame.
7: Excellent!

Wonder how the Thomas And Friends franchise is getting on here and is there any changes here compared to OTL?

Wonder how the Thomas And Friends franchise is getting on here and is there any changes here compared to OTL?

In the years since Thomas and the Flying Scotsman, Disney and Britt Allcroft have hit constant speed bumps trying to get the right script for another feature length Thomas film.

In the meantime, the franchise is still chugging along on both sides of the pond. In the US, the series airs in the mornings on The Disney Channel.

Oldnavy in 2009 otl ambhesr bush sold thier park divison to Blackstone. I feel they should sell to someone else ttl. I Would suggest Place entemernt (onwers of Castel park ,several water parks and family enterment centers ) Knoch family entemrnt (owners of hoilday world in santa caluse india )or themepark llc (the owner of magic springs park in hot springs arkasaw. ) I feel that palce in the most plausble owner because they are the american sudicary of spian largest themepark company. Also serveral park owned by palce in 2009 otl (Kennywood idlewild and )are either owned by someelse ttl or not metioned and possible closed ttl . Thus Palace would have more money to buy the parks owned by ambheuhser busch

Not a fan?

 

[Otakuninja2006]

Not a fan?

Yep.

Not a fan of stuff like Big Mouth and Family Guy. The former because it has that terrible art style, the latter because it's WAY TOO OVERRATED!

I heard that Bojack Horseman is big and has a fandom to match. If not that, then Inside Job has some folks from Gravity Falls in the staff.
