Quote from: Legend on Dec 06, 2025, 05:06 AMI think it's more just doing a hostile takeover. Convincing shareholders that their deal is better.

Would be pretty funny for the FTC to block the merger, and then suddenly get amnesia and have no problem with Paramount buying.
- Trump tells texas to gerrymander
- California votes to gerrymander
- Trump's admin sues California for gerrymandering

a netflix/paramount/ftc corruption is pretty standard corruption for Trump.

Quote from: nnodley on Dec 06, 2025, 03:18 AMWell the Ellison family is seemingly really close to trump and may try to get the deal blocked so they can buy it.

Looks like it could be the battle of the trump bribes

No clue what the source is, but I want it to be true.

Quote from: kitler53 on Dec 05, 2025, 11:52 PMisn't this like the 4th theatrical rerelease? 
Yes, but no. 

Star Wars 1977 has been released in theaters a bunch, but this is the first time in like 45 years that the original is in back in theaters. 

Star Wars A New Hope, got edited by George Lucas in the late 90's and those edits are what have been re-released since. 

There's a big fan project called Star Wars 4k77, 4K80, 4K83 who have recreated the original theater releases.

so just having some verbal diahera here....

netflix had a good thing going with their minor marvel series before disney took over.   daredevil.   jessica jones.  punisher.

so i did a quick google search for heros in the DC universe and here are a few i have no idea about: black canary.  peacemaker.  lobo.  black lightning.

so like,.. i doubt netflix puts the biggest money makers on netflix.   batman movies make too much money to release straight to netflix.   but these more minor characters could make for some great content.



so disney has disney+ and hulu which they keep seperate so they make more money.  netflix now has HBO go.   i feel like netflix will keep that going (possibly under a rebrand) so they can also have double subscriptions.   i don't think netflix can put all that content into netflix without basically requiring a massive increase in the sub cost which in turn would likely lose them a lot of customers.   but a netflix and netflix premium model could work.  


the gaming devision is going to be a cluster fudge.  the best case senario is they sell them to another buyer.   likely scenario is the studio get shut down after a few years.
