Capitalism stifles and kills art.
The U.S. government just opened an anti trust probe into Ticketmaster
I'd definitely watch the first few episodes at least of the Marvelous Mrs. Bond.
They killed the Arrowverse. I hate them for this.
my favorite part was when cody almost couldn't get back on track after saying 'john stanky'.
Actual laughter was produced.
Anyone know wtf that ad was about at 36:00?
Poor taste video. Stop being a schill
what i wonder is if they have reasons to shelve a movie or series, why not see if there is any party at all that would be interested in buying it off their hands and maybe license the assets? Like idk an outlet? Public domain as FrogDaisy suggests idk that doesnt seem realistic but otoh there should be other alternatives it seems, if they dont wanna put their name on it.
Honestly, comic book movies have ruined the entertainment industry when an entire companies plan is to buy out swathes of IPs from a publisher at once and put them against each other.
is it bad that I watch these videos of cody shouting at me about how bad the US is as relaxing background noise? probably.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets a chuckle out the Stankey in John Stankey
Gremlins 2 is an underrated masterpiece and an apt metaphor for the convergence of art and business. That said, I too will probably watch Gremlins 3 because of nostalgia and be disappointed… Hey you should have a "gremlin" Warmbo fight "mogwai" Wambo…
"Amazon as a Prime example" good work
This show is so well-written and performed. Funny as shit!
For a network who finds overly pandering ways to wedge woke language into scripts where it isn't even needed (show don't tell), they sure seem pretty racist and xenophobic, like most of the U.S., hugely anti latino.
Why is it that everything that I consider wrong with America always leads back to Ronald Reagan
How many people licked Katy's face? How many did it on accident?
If they ruin hbo I sware I'll… just watch quibi. Oh wait
You can't have it both ways. The AT&T merger is why the Batgirl happened. Then, when Discovery bought Warner, they saw how bad the movie was and shelved it. So either mergers are good because they can make more diverse movies possible or they are bad because they stop them. Or… Maybe companies are trying to just make money and they are trying to do the things they think will make money and not do what would harm them from doing so.
