    If I saw that a Carmen Sandiego movie made a billion dollars, I'd make note of a sequel as early as possible. Of course, not as early as Planes: Fire and Rescue was announced in the credits of its predecessor, but still.

    1.) Can't wait!

    2.) Well, since the XFL didn't exist ITTL, how about Rocky Mountain Xtreme lol. Out of the names on there though, Utah Elks would be my pick.

    Before we get to Napoleon Dynamite (distributor to be determined), any questions or comments?

    Being that the distributor was believed to be Turner Pictures, an arthouse label of MGM and UA.
    But Warner Bros. is counting their efforts to start up Open Road Films, an arthouse label designed to complement the Warner and Carolco labels.

    Negotiations with Paris fell apart and WB shifted their focus to Madrid thinking they could go head to head with Disney's park in Valencia.

    Here's a couple of name ideas I'm thinking of for Louisville's possible entry into the WLAF. A horse theme would be the obvious choice, but should Louisville get a team, they'd be in the same division as the St. Louis Stallions.
    - Louisville Legends (Muhammad Ali tribute?)
    - Louisville (or Kentucky) Coopers
    - Louisville (or Kentucky) Copperheads
    - Louisville Villains
    - Louisville Thorns (Rose related?)
    - Louisville (or Kentucky) Fryers
    - Louisville Tanks
    - Louisville Rivermen
    - Louisville Steamers/Showboats (Whichever one makes more sense)
