Yup, and got an Oscar nomination for it to boot.

I'm not forgetting. I'm just saying that we shouldn't put our trust in the government to undo this merger because as you've seen with the State AGs caving in because of unfounded threats, they can only do so much in this lawless land of ours. It's a circus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKSG...

Wow. You... you failed at civics, didn't ya? The CLEAN Mergers Act would need to pass both chambers of Congress and then get the signature of the President, who'll likely veto it because the Democrats passed it and he's a prick, and they'd need a 2/3 majority to override it. Not an easy task.

Martin Lawrence was banned by not only SNL but NBC as a whole for FAR less than what Shane Gillis "joked" about in his monologue. I guess you can't joke about douches on TV, but apparently, you can BE one. Go figure.

I've heard the cover from The 5, 6, 7, 8's but never the original, let alone knew the song had roots in the Old Dominion. Should have figured as much. Virginia has a long lineage of rockabilly artists, most notably Gene Vincent in my part of the Commonwealth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN7p...

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

It is funny how you ignored this first part of the post, but I guess that's just something that doesn't fit the narrative you were trying to make about me. bsky.app/profile/nema... There's a difference between hope and naivete. I get the latter from folks confusing realism as cynical defeatism.

Disney took over Hulu, a streamer that used to be owned by several companies, and all but completely shut it down in favor of Disney+. Disney also took over main operations of FUBO even though they already had ESPN and now run more sports streamers, including NFL RedZone.

100

Oh, and people aren't SUDDENLY willing to accept a giant media corporation permanently altering the way we consume media to a point where antitrust is a thing of the past and fascism remains in power indefinitely. People have been way too comfortable with Disney doing that for over a decade.

If you don't believe me about libraries no longer owned by the studios that make them, I should remind you that most of the pre-1950 Paramount library is owned by Universal Pictures and the pre-May 1986 MGM library isn't owned by Amazon MGM. Ask the ghost of Ted Turner about library deals.

100

What I am afraid of is what the techno nepo failson will do to recoup money. As I said, I don't see either Paramount or Warner Bros being the same companies they were when they combined into the chimera that is Skydance. Units will be splintered. Libraries might be separated from their studios.

200

And yeah, that debt is going to be fatal to this company. Skydance made promises they can't keep. Their creditors are pissed because they're still financing MORE debt. And people are going to want returns on their investment. The stock has been in freefall since day one, so no one's making money.

100

It'd be nice if it could. It'd be great if there were folks who could reverse this nigh-monopoly right now. But given the history of the United States, I don't trust the government, especially THIS incarnation of the government that's literally run by a felonious monster and his rich evil pals.

100

Seriously, it's not going to be a reset of what was. And I'm not going to sugarcoat it. You're naive if you really think it will be. It's a chimera. A gross, unholy, unnatural creature combining two great things. Separating that will be messy and won't look the same as they were weeks ago.

100

Believe me, I want Skydance to suffer completely. I want them to shatter, fall apart, and cause the techno nepo failson with the slappable face to lose his daddy's money and his hair grease. But I'm also not naive enough to think that everything would just be the same as it was before The Deal™.

I'm reluctantly accepting this reality because it is happening at this very moment. I'm reluctantly accepting what's happening because the laws of the land that should have prevented this from happening have completely failed us and ultimately caved in to empty threats EVERYBODY felt were lies.

Reluctantly Accepting The Media Moment We're In

Hi. You don't know me, and yet, you decided to tack my observation and wrote it off as cynicism. Otherwise, you would know that I completely and absolutely hate this deal (and I have repeatedly said so for a year) and this current media climate we're in. thoughtnami.blogspot.com/2026/10/relu...

I hate this . I hate Skydance. I'm sick of talking about this deal, and now that's nearly finalized, it's no longer a deal. It's a realit...

All this Cartoon Network leak stuff reminds me of how, for well over a decade, one of my most treasured pirated downloads was all the incidental music from the Inspector Gadget TV show soundtrack. That kind of thing just doesn't get released, so when you CAN get it, you hold the fuck onto it.

So, yeah. Seems like I have to limit my downloads for a while until Spectrum decides to play nice. And from what I've heard from people who had issues with them for decades, yeah... this is going to be a problem. For me. Neato. Awesome, wow.

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

I would rather handle a lit match with petrol-coated fingers than install a vibe-coded software clone on my decade+ old computer.

I've seen some people do some weird things with candy corn. The tamest thing I've seen was some cooks making a weird caramel/nougat log and putting candy corn around it to make it look like a corn cob. Again, that's the tamest thing I've seen.

That's a possibility and even worse!

I know, but again, I wasn't saying you should ignore Skydance's evilness at all. They're an evil AND illegal corporation. Shame the law doesn't mean anything in this country anymore. Guess that's what happens when we elect* felons to run the country. *"Elect" may/may not be a true statement.

Oh, but I would never say don't go after Skydance. Because they're evil too. They're all evil. Hurt them all! Bring the noise! Give 'em all hell. Just don't act like there's only one truly evil company. There's room enough to hate everybody!

Now, one defense I've seen made about this is that "Well, Disney, Sony, & Comcast are evil companies too, why should you go after Skydance?" Because they went mask-off, like with TKO early last year. And remember, Disney took so much heat for Kimmel this time last year, they can be forced by us.

But then I saw the clips from Seven Havens, saw how crappy it looked, saw how people will settle for lowered for the thing they liked, and I realized I was no different. I'll buy them secondhand, if need be, but I can manage. Demand better, people.

I’m not trying to be snarky about this, but what if Disney and WB treated comics not just as R&D, but as a loss leader, to push their franchises forward, by paying comics creators a competitive professional wage and offering a health care system similar to that available to the film and tv unions…

It's not pestering me, man. Just... when it comes to this subject, it broke me to my core. When you've been covering, enjoying, and celebrating the triumphs of a studio you loved for your entire life and just see them defeated and close to obliteration, it eats at your soul. I'm not a masochist.

We can say we can continue this. But I don't wanna. And I don't have to. I'm retired.

So, you have a shut-off point of never having to consume any new media featuring characters, series, and franchises you like and just "classic radio"-ing your media these days? I see. Nothing wrong with that. My TV's locked on MeTV Toons and MeTV most days. And if need be, I'll go sailing, matey.

And if they happen to sell, they're not going to sell the company they bought as it was. As I said before, this is a chimera now. It's one ugly and unnatural beast created by two beasts. If you separate them, it's not going to be the same two companies at all It'll be two or more uneven things.

I don't see them selling WB off at all. If anything, they're going to keep the studio they spent a country's GDP on and shed Paramount. They pursued WB the moment they got Paramount, and they're not just going to get rid of it after sacrificing so much to get it. WB is going to be dominant.

130

Oh, no doubt. But they're saying it out loud now.

100

What you should do now? That's on you. Enjoy and buy what you like. Or don't. But don't expect the government to save you or break it apart. All media companies are corrupt, complicit, and subservient to those in power. Just none of them are as masks-off evil as Skydance. Except maybe TKO.
