As Dreamers Do Part Deux

So Timm has a filter. Good, he's better off with friends. In contrast, I will gladly admit Paul Dini's AMAZING when he writes on his own. (Where is he by the way?)
Before BTAS, Paul and Bruce both worked at Fox on the Movietoon revival, then they both joined Universal for Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures. After that, WB lured Rachel Stone-Abbott and Tom Ruegger from Fox to work on Tiny Toon Adventures and Bruce and Paul tagged along. After that, Screen Gems hired Bruce and Paul to do BTAS.

After BTAS, Bruce stayed put at Screen Gems while Paul Dini bounced around other studios. Now they're reunited.
 
We'll that would likely be the Universal Studios/Peacock Releasing comic-based movie schedule for the next five years:
May 2, 2008: Popeye the Sailor Man
June 13, 2008: Flash Gordon
May 1, 2009: The Black Hood
May 7, 2010: Popeye the Sailor Man 2
May 6, 2011: The Phantom
July 22, 2011: Mandrake the Magician
May 4, 2012: Defenders of the Earth
July 3, 2012: Archie

"We'll that would likely"

also stop saying everything as a fact
So looks like the King Features adaptations made it to feature film and we likely see Archie Andrews in live-action form soon.

But TriStar's I Know Who Killed Me, Paramount's No Reservations, Miramax's Becoming Jame, Universal/Peacock Releasing's The Bourne Ultimatum (the first Bourne film to open with the NBC peacock at the start, the logo of Peacock Releasing), Luxor Pictures' Underdog and RKO's Hot Rod is up for release.

Thanks for helping me out with the dates and titles as always.

A brief chronology of HBO's Hard Knocks as of 2007. Most seasons so far have been narrated by Liev Schreiber, the voice of HBO Sports bumpers since the mid-90's.
2001: Los Angeles Rams
2002: Dallas Cowboys
2003: Indianapolis Colts
2004: Houston Oilers (Coming off a season in which they became the first ITTL to win a Super Bowl in their own venue)
2005: Las Vegas Raiders (The dawn of the Brady era)
2006: New Orleans Saints (Prepping for their first year back in NOLA after Katrina) [1]
2007: St. Louis Sorcerers (Players and coaches adjust to leaving Jacksonville for greener pastures in the Gateway City).

[1] Unfortunately for Gus St. Pierre fangirls of TTL, Gus was not asked by HBO to narrate Hard Knocks for the '06 Saints. That honor went to Brad Pitt. NFL Films made up for that by inviting Gus to narrate the Saints' highlight reel right after the team won the Super Bowl.
 
Before we get to August 2007, is there anything you guys want me to address?
What's up with Butch Hartman's daughters and give us more detail about what's going on at AEG and hear what those 20 kids must have to get off their chest because they must be truamatized now........

And to learn what this "Bain Capital" company is, and statements from cable operators dropping AEG TV.
 
Statement from Dish Network; August 1, 2007:
"Start TV, helmed by Mitt Romney and the Weinstein brothers, will not be available on our platform until all three parties sever all ties with the Anschutz organization."

Statement from DirecTV; August 1, 2007:
"Today, we have informed Mr. Romney and former President Weinstein that we have no interest in carrying Start TV until they cut all remaining ties with AEG."

Statement from Cox Communications; August 1, 2007:
"We apologize to our subscribers who feel inconvenienced by our decision to drop AEG TV from our systems across the country. At this time, we ask Mr. Romney and the Weinstein brothers to distance themselves from Mr. Anschutz before we can bring Start TV to our markets."

Statement from Comcast; August 1, 2007:
"Today, we have expressed to Bain Capital our refusal to carry Start TV until all remaining ties with the embattled Mr. Anschutz are abandoned."

Statement from TimeWarner Cable; August 1, 2007:
"Our condolences go out to the former AEG TV teen stars who've experienced horrific treatment at the Anschutz compound. That said, we urge the Romney/Weinstein joint venture to sever all remaining ties with AEG before we carry their new network on our platforms."

Major League Soccer will hold an auction to sell Houston Dynamo, the Chicago Rhythm and Colorado Rapids, each of whom were formerly owned by the crumbling Anschutz empire. The Los Angeles Galaxy, another former Anschutz club, have been sold to local businessman Patrick Soon-Shiong. Tom Ricketts, Jerry Reinsdorf and Rocky Wirtz are among the bidders for the Rhythm while the Dynamo could soon go to either Tilman Fertitta or Jim Crane. The Rapids meanwhile could soon be in the hands of Jeffrey Bewkes, Pete Coors or the Monfort brothers. Other interested buyers include Terry Pegula, Joe Lacob, Stan Kroenke, Randy Lerner, Shad Khan and David Tepper.

24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov has stepped up to the plate to buy the Oakland Athletics from Ron Burkle in hopes of keeping the team in Northern California, be it keeping them in Oakland or moving them to Sacramento, where he is part-owner of the NBA Royals. In the meantime, Burkle's joint venture with Steve Young to buy the San Francisco 49ers has been approved by NFL Commissioner Amy Trask.
