Theater owners should be suing using the Paramount precedent to prevent studios from owning tv channels and movie theaters. Then maybe they’d have content to show that doesn’t leave theaters after five days or less.
Of course with the current court system it would probably just be an ignored precedent.

So dumb. Why aren’t you just making your own drugs in the UK? You’d think that relying on foreign countries for your health supplies would be a national security issue.
Yes, well it was going out of business and Sony bought it. Not surprising they don’t know what to do with it.
Also, it used to be illegal for studios to own movie theaters. But they just stopped enforcing that for some reason. 🤷♂️
Studios shouldn’t own channels.

Good thing Netflix is about to buy WBD. Now they can cancel even more programming!
They waited two years to even start filming season two. They’ve lost any momentum that they had.
Chalking up Discovery’s unpopularity as “bigotry” is lazy.
Just absolutely horrible writing and plot points. Perfectly good actors and characters wasted every season.
That said, Doug Jones steals the show and creates a fascinating character.
Hacks should probably end on an up note. I think Euphoria is just about played out. I won’t be surprised if the upcoming season is its last. Last Of Us only has one season left unless they ignore the ratings drop and start making seasons without source material from the game. As far as DC, they just canceled Peacemaker which is bizarre.
I also wonder what the contract with George RR Martin is like — will Netflix be able to just make whatever shows/spinoffs they want from that property? I thought the momentum there was dead, but the Knight of 7 show seems to be getting positive reviews.
What does HBO have left that Netflix will inherit? Anything interesting, or just back catalog? I wonder if Netflix will try to reboot or spin off any of the more familiar canceled properties…
The Cop/Doctor/Lawyer show cycle just goes on and on. They’re known as “procedurals” and have been around forever. For some reason they’re very popular (NCIS has been on for 23 years!).
Every now and then you get an interesting riff like comedy (Car 54) or edgy (Miami Vice, NYPD Blue) or soapy (LA Law, Grays Anatomy). But usually they are just dry/drab (Dragnet and Dick Wolf).
Westerns went through the same kind of churn.
IRS: “Best I can do is two years of free credit monitoring.”
Dotard.
If the Kurtzman era ever ends, it would be great to see a new crew having to take the station out of mothballs when some interstellar crisis erupts.
Watching season 2 of the BBC adaptation of The Tripods from 1984. So far, not as goods as the first season. Also it’s not following the books very closely this season, so that’s probably why. Honestly surprised this hasn’t been remade yet.
Before you downvote this, the article also talks about how color blind casting can elevate programs when done well. The advice given to the BBC is to not be lazy about it or you might do more harm than good.
Because this is the kind of thing you’re jailed for now. Not bribery. Not shooting people in the face. No, try to look after someone’s well being — straight to jail.
If it’s treason, then lock them up.
Not if we can’t afford groceries anymore.
That happens when one of your main competitors gives you all their business.

What a farce.
