"I can't imagine anyone other than Leo as Peter Parker at this point."

LMAO. It's the exact opposite reaction from me, as I cringed when I saw Leonardo as Peter over Tobey Maguire, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

Very glad that the Spider-Man movie did well, though.

Who cares about Spider-Man when we have the birth of a potential million-dollar franchise right here?

What can be worse than a soccer mom? How about a Nickelodeon mom. Bridgette St. Pierre, mother of 14 year old Nickelodeon teen star, our very own Gus St. Pierre, was hauled off to Culver City jail after disrupting production of the live action sitcom Clarissa Explains it All. Security at Jim Henson Studios were called to Stage 10 where Bridgette, 37, allegedly made violent threats towards the production crew.

Melissa Joan Hart, who plays the titular character said "Bridgette was irate with Gus not getting the screen time she expected him to. She didn't seem to care that I was the main character and he wasn't. Gus has always been very nice to me on the set. He has been perfectly fine with playing a supporting character. Because of that, he was visibly upset and humiliated by his mom's behavior, even after she was escorted out of the soundstage."

It's really telling when your own kid is more mature than you. Absolutely shameful behavior.

Former Miramax chairman Harvey Weinstein turns himself in to the NYPD.

For what, specifically? Harvey Weinstein has been rather quiet recently ever since he sacked John Kricfalusi, but I wonder if he's just gonna rat out everything about John K.

WWA superstar Andre the Giant hospitalized for an undisclosed illness.

Uh oh....this could end up turning for the worse. I'm hoping that he recovers from this.

Bundy absolutely needs to lose this next election. I'll take Cuomo + Gore any day, and Kricfalusi is doing nothing to change that.

As long as Bridgette St. Pierre isn't an incestous freak like Olivia Abbott............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Republican National Convention: Bundy promises "Four More Years" and invites Kricfalusi to make a short but sweet speech.

In unrelated news, Maria Barsi has now endorsed Mario Cuomo. The mother of actress Judith Barsi and victim of abuse by her husband, Joszef, who also abused Judith, said she made the statement after Bundy invited John Kricfalusi.

1: That's just stupid. It would be even dumber if that happened IOTL, which I hope it didn't.
2: Maybe he gave himself the old 1000-yard stare inside his soul once he fired Kricfalusi? Nah. But you never know.
3: As they should.
4: Uh oh.
5: I'm voting for the Democrats this time around. If Bundy wins, I think suicide rates would ironically skyrocket.

Sadly, overbearing helicopter parents are a big problem ITTL as they are IOTL.

Well, that stinks.

On a more positive note, with Jim Henson, Mitchell Kriegman, and Noel MacNeal working on various projects for Nickelodeon at this point, what with Clarissa Explains It All and Eureeka's Castle, exactly how likely is it that we'd see Bear in the Big Blue House compete against Blue's Clues and Little Bear for Nick Jr. viewership?

Just out of curiosity, did they license "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC as their song they play every time they score a touchdown/win the game?

The song is used mostly for player introductions before kickoff.

And in case anyone else is wondering, yes, they wear neon green jerseys (sorry about the watermark).

4: Uh oh.

To be fair, this was pretty close to the end for Andre both IOTL and ITTL.

 

[OldNavy1988]

To be fair, this was pretty close to the end for Andre both IOTL and ITTL.

And it was around '92 when Andre pooped on Bad News Brown in the ring.

1. With the WLAF expanding to Canada are we going to add more even if the CFL remains separate?
2. What Happened to Solid Gold, Star Search and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous are they airing on SBC or Syndication?
3. What Happened to Tim Richmond?

 

[PNWKing]

I'd like to see Golden Harvest of America do Don Quijote. I even made up some Hispanic actors in the "Fictional artists and actors" convo for @OldNavy1988 to look at. As for the screenplay how about Mel Brooks, Peter Mehlman, and Les Charles. And it could always be directed by.................................Bruce Jay Friedman. IOTL he was a writer who wrote Splash and Stir Crazy. ITTL, I think he should direct a film.

 

[PNWKing]

Is Nora Dunn on SNL ITTL. If so, what impressions has she done?

So basically a spoof of the Don Quixote story?

Is Nora Dunn on SNL ITTL. If so, what impressions has she done?

Yes, she's on SNL. In fact, she was just featured on the SNL episode right before the show took a two week break to accommodate NBC's coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics from Barcelona. In that episode, she played an exaggerated satire of Bridgette St. Pierre, screeching loudly and scratching Clarissa creator Mitchell Kriegman (Kevin Nealon) with long finger nails while Gus (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) looks on with utter disgust.

3. What Happened to Tim Richmond?

The one condition that the Canadian government tried to apply to the WLAF was to keep the WLAF and CFL seasons from overlapping. And because of that, the WLAF will have to move its opening weekend from the second Saturday in March before March Madness to the one Saturday in February after the NFL's Pro Bowl and before the Daytona 500.

Star Search does air on SBC and this year we got to see a few future boy band members. Solid Gold aired on SBC, but ended in '88. Lifestyles is one SBC's highest-rated shows behind Married with Children and Wednesday Night Hockey.

Sadly, Tim Richmond still passed away in '89.

I wonder if Carolco is going to get bought out and if so by who. I see General Motors, Pepsi, Eastman Kodak, Johnson & Johnson, Sony, Westinghouse, Goodyear, Berkshire Hathaway, Anheuser-Busch, Harrah's, General Mills, and Coors all being interested in buying the studio.
