Movies

If only they'd put more than the most recent 10% of their extensive (thx to M&A) movie library on it.

Posted by: Tallwonder on Oct 11, 11:09 in response to notfabio's post I'm super glad Disney has pivoted back to theatrical, but...

Heaven forbid people might get to watch some decent stuff on it.
They deliberately canned everything pre-1990s (and most of that decade too) so people would be forced to watch their recent stuff (in theatres or online) & so they can make each mediocre new movie's nos on their books constantly inch closer to profitability (or add cream on top of the already eaten cake) - over multiple years if needed - with new viewing.
They refuse most requests even for private screenings/fests/movie clubs/even from academia of older titles nowadays ie non-commercial use.
Movie history/heritage has been deliberately put 6 feet under by Walt's co. as 'dumb/numb-ification' of the public continues just like from the rest of the media industry by cliched franchise/IP building.
