| Vinther1991 said: Obviously shitty news. Not gonna watch any new WB movies going forward then. Wouldn't have either if they got bought by Netflix. I cancelled all my film subscriptions a while ago, as they are basicly just a scam. The content is laughably low, the prices have just gone up, the quality is worse than Blu-Rays and their algorithms are absolute garbage, whether it be MAX or Netflix. If I remember right MAX also decided to remove 3 min of 2001: A Space Odyssey at some point. F*** that. DVDs/Blu-rays, Cinemas, on demand and broadcast TV keeps me going. For shorter periods I might sign up for Mubi, as they generally seem to care about the art. |
You say that like they had a choice in the matter. They didn’t.
So basically what people thought Disney did for Fox, Paramount/Ellison actually did here. WB literally by law couldn’t refuse to sell once they got into a bidding war bc they’re a publicly-traded company (remember the Dodgeball ending?). If you’re gonna blame/boycott anybody for this, blame/boycott David Ellison and Paramount.
