Netflix news "really" sucks. Agreed. My take... (nside) VictorY Dec 06, 13:34

Yep. I can't believe the degree of not caring about your own legacy, or the history of it at all. It's sickening. But hey, it's capitalism. {nm} goodvibe61 Dec 06, 14:22

Don't blame capitalism. Hollywood would not exist without it. {nm} THXER Dec 07, 10:49

I don't think it will be that bad. Everyone freaked out whenever Disney bought anything and it worked out just fine. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 14:32

Hmm I'm not sure I'd call losing an entire slate from another major studio (Fox) "fine"... {nm} wolfiemozart Dec 06, 16:33

What did they lose? Still releasing Avatar movies, keeping the Alien and Predator franchises alive and doing better than ever. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 17:20

In 2017, Disney released 12 movies. Fox (and Searchlight) released 30. In 2024, Disney released 14 & Fox/Searchlight released...10 {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:21

I received an email from Netflix already confirming its done sneak Dec 06, 20:03

All Netflix subscribers got that Email... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 06, 20:26

I get that sneak Dec 07, 00:20

Gotcha. Netflix should just get their lawyers suing Trump early... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 07, 05:24

Until the cheque for the donation to his presidential library clears. Assuming that would be less than 5.8bn. {nm} RufusS Dec 07, 06:29

Thats what people forget, is that other than being racist & sexist, Trump is not an idealogue. He's for sale {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:03

Netflix quietly does some great things (e.g. with Jane Campion & the next generation - waveintheocean.nz), which the likes of WB never did. Qix Dec 06, 20:25

Netflix has made and acquired a ton of high quality films and given lots of filmmakers a blank check to make their dream projects Moviesnob Dec 07, 10:33

For sure, although I assume Sarandos will have factored the cost of Nolan's day-n-date... Qix Dec 07, 11:49
