Led by the writer of Air Bud (that bodes well), a large posse of out-of-work WGAers is looking to launch the online video company, Visual Arists, later this year with over $30 million in funding with Silicon Valley types. Supposedly a bunch of A-listers are on board, which gives small hope that they punch out fare along the lines of name-checked Juno and The Office.

good for them.
If it all goes to hell, I can happily live off of the last few decades of cinema and television programming. There are over 15 years of The Simpsons alone.
Personally, I thought Air Bud: Golden Receiver and Air Bud: World Pup were better films. Its a shame they're so unheralded in the "overcapable animal" genre of films.
