Well great job with Shrek @OldNavy1988, but NBC is launching two new shows from RKO, Crossing Jordan and Star Trek: Enterprise, but we'll get to Touchstone's Pearl Harbor, Hollywood Pictures' The Animal, Paramount/Village Roadshow's Evolution, New Line Cinema's Swordfish and Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire next!
BTW, the opening New Line Cinema logo flickers it was on a computer screen on Swordfish.
Atlantis is next, but I'd like to know if there's anything in that film that can be fixed from OTL.
 
Atlantis is next, but I'd like to know if there's anything in that film that can be fixed from OTL.
The changes that can be fixed from OTL were:
  • The pace of the film is very improved.
  • The plot and character designs are more polished.
  • Milo's falling is a bit improved and a bit polished.
  • Lyle Tiberius Rourke, the film's antagonist, is a bit more polished.
  • The film lacks the OTL's clichés, but the film could be more polished than OTL, making it a greater movie to watch.

Why is that guy Prime Minster?
 
Why is that guy Prime Minster?
Rolf ran a campaign billing himself as a savior against the supposed gridlock in Australian establishment politics. Basically, he ran as an anti-establishment candidate.

Besides allegedly colluding with Russia, Rolf was able to amplify his messages courtesy of Rupert Murdoch's near monopoly of the Aussie mass media.

1: Monsters Inc. is going to have a rough time trying to get past Lord of the Rings AND Harry Potter, but it would be easier defeating Zoolander.
2: Not to mention that Columbia-TriStar also has Teen Titans available for Summer 2002, meaning that Stuart has even less of a chance to break out in theaters.
3: Speaking of which, is their Teen Titans movie basically going to be a pilot movie for the resulting animated series?
4: I mean, they still tried to sue Disney, so props to WB for suggesting a lawsuit of this kind.
