actually i just googled they released an app in october

after the entirety of season one drops at once

Who wins a versuz between Netflix original movies and prime original movies?

Tbh

And old me 10-15 years ago would’ve been heated about that. But me rn could care less and is still salty that I wasted so much money on Blu Rays, when it just amounted to sentimental/materialistic reasons, and it wasn’t worth it (for money and clutter reasons)

Seems likely Dems block this for legitimate anti-trust reasons and Repubs block it because it’s not Paramount.

Should have been NLE smh

But the point is game of thrones and all hbo legacy shows and properties are burnt to a crisp

Them holding out on writers strike ai talks cost them a lot

Robbed

out of all the possible bad things that will happen, i did not think of this and now i'm more upset

"The Netflix-Warner deal is a horror movie. And not like OG Scream or Sinners. This is like the Human Centipede part 23. On a long haul flight. In the middle seat.

1. The price of getting Netflix with no ads was $7.99 a decade ago. Now it is $17.99 (inflation would make it $10.92). This is not the behavior of a company that is scrambling to compete for your business. Because it's the juggernaut in streaming -- it has over 300 million subscribers, more than two times the subscribers as HBO Max and Disney+, which both have around 125M.

2. What is keeping the price of Netflix from getting even higher? You guessed it, HBO Max and Disney+. I don't know if they're stealing existing folks from Netflix, but when people have 17 bucks to spend on a subscription, their two clearest choices are Netflix.. and HBO Max. In other words, their clearest competitor is a Warner property... And don't take it from me, take it from the former CEO of Warner Media, Jason Kilar (below): “If I was tasked with doing so, I could not think of a more effective way to reduce competition in Hollywood than selling WBD to Netflix." So get ready for subscription prices to go up.

3. This also going to hurt your local movie theater, if you still have one. That's because Netflix does this thing where it will lock down an amazing movie, screen it in a few theaters to qualify for the Oscars and other awards, but release it simultaneously (or a few weeks after) on streaming. They did this with Roma. And no, even if you're Scorsese (the Irishman) or Guillermo del Toro (Frankenstein) even you will only get three to four weeks on the big screen before your knees are kicked out from under you. Who does this help? Netflix. Who does this hurt? The local movie theater where you had your first date, where you watched Jurassic Park (sorry, I'm old), where you take the kids over Christmas. And guess who specializes in making movies for the big screen? Yep, Warner Brothers: Dune, Barbie, the Minecraft Movie (iykyk), Superman. As
@matthewstoller
explained, "a theater needs a certain number of new releases to be profitable, and are very close to that line right now."

4. And it's not just going to screw over your local movie theater. This thing is going to hurt all of the independent writers, directors, and producers that make the most interesting stuff. Hollywood works at its best when there is a whole ecosystem of independent folks making new shows and movies and pitching them to the big guys for distribution. The film festival circuit? That's why you go on that circuit -- to get your cool new, out-there movie in front of execs who can buy it and distribute it. I was in Los Angeles a month ago, and that whole system is just long gone. Why? A huge part of the reason is Netflix. They cut sweetheart deals with huge names (Adam Sandler), and consistently spend their money on that and their own in-house folks. 'No one is buying' at the festivals; 'now they make you do all this stuff for free before you can even pitch them on something'. This is the kind of thing people are saying.

5. What's to be done here? Normally, the Department of Justice would intervene and block the merger. But I'm not staying up for that. I think this is the time for California Attorney General Rob Bonta to step in and move first. He's strong, the folks who work in these industries are his constituents -- and if you think this would be a nice thing for a bunch of wealthy people, go see how much the production crews and makeup artists and background actors earn in Hollywood. This is the time for him to define his legacy as someone who stands up for consumers"

Dude acting all buddy buddy with Netflix

He’s gonna pull some Littlefinger s*** and snatch the whole CEO of Netflix throne within 5 years, quote me

This genuinely sucks man

I'm glad I stopped paying for Netflix after they got rid of password sharing. Haven't looked back since I got my Fire TV stick.

When will people en masse finally admit that corporations have too much power and say?

The MCU once again tasked with saving the theater industry

Wonder if he would’ve said the same thing had Paramount won

Money fight

There are no positives here. Only worse and worse negatives.

Your name has never been more accurate than right now

It does seem kinda shady this turned into Netflix buying just one part of the split

Thought this happening now was about buying all of WBD whole.

Depends what we count as Netflix originals. Do they get to use the movies they buy from festivals?

Hostile bid

This some succession s***
