Raptorpat Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It starts out convenient and satisfying, and that's when they hook ya. We're well past that phase now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 This all sounds very very familiar. I recall when HBO first became a Thing. It was going to be one of the greatest content providers in the history of ever with all the premium stuff at premium price. The satellite dish in the backyard was a giant status symbol. Now there's like 20 different variations of HBO and absolutely none of them are worth the costs because most of them carry nothing but the uncensored versions of whatever movie is also already playing on a basic cable channel. And even that is less noticeable since most movies on basic have 99% of the swearing intact. Oh yeah, and I guess Cookie Monster still eats cookies on the episodes on HBO Kids. You can't gut the staff while claiming you are going to provide all the greatest of streaming services. You end up with one dude, a dart and a spinning wheel of choices that all say 'marathon'. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be so nice to have any kind of decent regulation but politicians get lobbied out the ass by these folks, and half of them barely knows what streaming is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saves that bingeing for fruits and vegetables. At first me and my bf were rolling our eyes cuz he’s Cookie Monster, but maybe it’s not the best thing to show a creature losing control on cookies to children. As an adult w/o kids sometimes we forget who’s actually watching this stuff, not forget but…I can’t explain took a couple of weekends mornings bong rips. 😬 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naraku360 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Does this only impact shows that were online only? Best not cancel Succession or I swear to fuck Imma Karen all over Discovery+'s manager's ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown right now but the implication is that HBO originals will have their budgets capped, which wouldn’t affect a show like Succession. The GOT prequel is probably boned though.

Jman Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 So in light of Warner literally not having enough money to properly advertise their films, this came up - Probably explains why all that animation was gutted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Zaslav's being the oldest of old school executives has me wondering why the hell Rooster Teeth hasn't been sold yet. I can't see RWBY being worth that much at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
