Homer Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 HAIL XENU! NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Actor Tom Cruise, who was dropped by Paramount Pictures last week for his off-screen behavior, has signed a two-year development deal with an investment partnership headed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, the companies said on Monday. First and Goal, headed by the owner of the National Football League team, will provide development and overhead financing for the actor's firm, The companies did not disclose the amount of financing that would be provided. The move follows the disclosure last week that Viacom (Charts), which owns Paramount, would not renew a 14-year production deal with Cruise/Wagner. Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone cited Cruise's "recent conduct" for ending the deal with the Hollywood superstar. Paula Wagner, the actor's partner in his movie company, said at the time, "We, in fact, made a decision not to continue our relationship with Paramount Pictures." Cruise/Wagner Productions said at the time it had lined up $100 million in hedge fund financing to continue film production, but did not name the funds. Six Flags have gone to hell.
DerekRx Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Next year every Six Flags park is going to get a Giant Sofa Moon Bounce.
methylene Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 They're going to replace all those strength tester/ lover tester handle things in the arcades with E-Meters, I hear. Matt
Guy T. Koepp Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 If this allows us season pass holders a freebie with Katie Holms. I'm in!
rosscoe Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 ^^^^ At least you know she has never given birth to anything, well maybe a pillow!
ECZenith Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I have to agree... WTF is all that can be said.
sixflagstloldschool Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 They found Six's replacement! Could it be?
USCoaster Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Maybe they're hiding Suri at SFMM!!!! If the child didn't have something wrong already, this guarantees she will be more messed up than her parents.
FlyingScooter Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Far and Away this is the oddest thing I've heard this week. Wasn't it Carowinds that has a Top Gun ride? Should we play Taps for 6Flags?
Golfie Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Next year every Six Flags park is going to get a Giant Sofa Moon Bounce. YES! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PAY $20 TO JUMP IN ONE OF THOSE!!!
waterviper Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Next year every Six Flags park is going to get a Giant Sofa Moon Bounce. YES! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PAY $20 TO JUMP IN ONE OF THOSE!!! Will Gallagher be operating it??

Will Gallagher be operating it?? No, but you only get 3 bounces, one every 5 minutes. If you do more than 3, they eject you from the park. Oh yeah, you also need to wear a harness attached to the wall.
bgwfreak Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I heard Oprah would be sponsoring the ride. Along with Color Purple: The Experience.

bgwfreak Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 ^ Yep. The women making out together part is optional though. Strange enough that movie was filmed only about 30 miles from where I live.
TheArchfiend Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Six Flags have gone to hell. They have already been there. Great, now the parks will be flodded with Theaton 6 and 7s armed with their spiritual super powers. No offense to any Theatons out there. Maybe the high ranking Theatons will replace the Justice League inside the park?
cfc Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 All Six Flags parks will now require a personality test for admission--if you have a personality, you can't get in. Six Flags is also in negotiations with John Travolta for the rights to Battlefield Earth: The Ride.
bgwfreak Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 ^They'll spend $50MM on it and it will close after one day.
