Netflix to Buy Warner Brothers? No, Paramount Skydance!

Meanwhile, we've got to boycott any and all WB product and cancel HBO subscriptions on top of the Paramount ones. I'm still going to buy WAC discs though.

You mean no more Turner Classic Movies? Some of us still need our TCM fix once in a while.

I was convinced various television assets besides HBO were spun off (including TCM) amidst this. (Probably just the Mandela effect given Fox/20th Century and NBC/Universal)

The merger has been approved by DOJ. Fingers crossed the state antitrust lawsuits are successful. Meanwhile, we've got to boycott any and all WB product and cancel HBO subscriptions on top of the Paramount ones.

Just as Warner Archives increases its output & finally starts releasing the titles people have been begging for.

Paramount's poor quality makes them a bit easier to boycott.

I wouldn't presume to tell people what they should do but subscription cancellations is the only language the Ellisons will understand. Screaming at the people who voted for Trump or stayed home in 2024 doesn't fix this.

Hopefully Imprint releases the complete Alfred Hitchcock Presents + Hour (remainder) on blu-ray soon, not that I would pay for Paramount+.

I'd truly and seriously rather die. I can boycott this up to a certain point—I don't and won't subscribe to Paramount+, I have taken CBS off my channel listings—but at a certain point you just have to throw up your hands and try to live the best life you can. The way my tax dollars are being used is much more harmful than the meager amount of dollars I throw at TCM and WAC to try to enjoy this life I'm stuck in.
