I have the horrible feeling someone's going to make a name for himself writing a tell-all about about John K. Said someone is currently pitching a concept about an eleven year old boy and his ten sisters to every studio in town.

Carl JR'S bought Hardee's in 1997. I'd have trump buy them instead
I like the idea of Trump buying A&W or Hardees for the purposes of putting them into the Worlds of Wonder theme parks. Expanding upon that, I’m imagining that the future theme parks would have a land based off of 50’s Americana. Because of the fact that Trump grew up in the 50’s, so a land based off of that era would be his version of Disney’s Main Street USA. I’ve actually got two ideas for attractions there.
- A&W/Hardees Diner: A restaurant themed after the era’s diners. Patrons could eat in the restaurant or sit in outdoor booths modelled after 50’s cars.
- Terror at the Cinema!: A motion simulator ride where the cheesy 50’s B horror movie becomes all too real. It’d be built into a replica of the movie theatre from the original Blob movie.

Imagine The Day the Music died; multiply and square that by 10..... this is what you get
Would “The Day the Laughter Died” be considered too derivative? The idea is that it is to animation what that day was for rock music.
Not really. This seems like TTL's equivalent to the OJ fiasco.
I don't really think something like "Day That _____ Died" is appropriate because Kricfalusi's reputation was already screwed up before the chase.
Titanic Day; since its established things were screwed up from the start, just like the Titanic
Here is the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River, looking west from Tarrytown. The bridge John K has crossed to get on to Interstate 87 on his low speed chase. Stay tuned for further details.
I'd like the film to be set in 99, same as OTL. A few pages back I suggested that the British boyband Five should take Youngstown's place as the Soundtrack's headliners with what is essentially a ''hidden Track'' IOTL that may very well become a hit in this one. I'll repost it here for you to see it.
As I said before, I think this one has more of an edge to it, while still being a hell of a lot of fun, and in my opinion, is the more enjoyable of the two songs. Plus like the movie IOTL, it came out in 99. Sorry, Abe. I know you said 97, but Adams did die in 2005 IOTL. That's about 6 years off from his death and 99's 2 years from 97. Do you think he could still do the role anyway? I don't know myself, that's why I'm asking.
Also, who else thinks that John K's police chase is going to end with a suicide? If it does, I'm sorry to say that there's gonna be a lot of people painting him as a tortured artist and a ''victim'' of police persecution.
Also, about Savino's pitch? Why not have him go to Disney? He'd be out of trouble there and they'd be able to rehabilitate him a lot easier.

I’m ambivalent at best with that song. I’ve never physically cringed when listening to a song before I listened to that. Not even Nickelback illicted that reaction from me. Though, regardless of that song’s quality, Youngstown’s “I’ll Be Your Everything” wouldn’t be on TTL’s soundtrack because the only adult female in the movie went from love interest to concerned sibling.
For whatever reason I though Adams died shortly after making the OTL movie. My mistake. I should have researched better. I just wanted it released earlier so we could read about it sooner. Plus if it succeeds we could possibly have Adams do a second movie in ‘99.
What do you think the side-effects of John K’s car chase/suicide would have on animation? Nothing good, I imagine.
He hasn't committed suicide yet. He might go to prison instead.
Answering your question, animation as a whole is too big ITTL to be severely damaged by one man's troubles.
