Stid as wells

It;s through facebook

It's an organized campaign across r/movies, rt, metacritic, that french site futurist mentioned really?

Yep trolls everywhere

That was written at 9:25 ET last night before any of the showings even finished it must be from screenings and therefore from the most super of superfans so yes but we will see

I mean we will see, I wasn;t alive in 1980 so I can't say what the reaction but this feels like a good part of the fanbase hates this movie

Of course but episode 9 won't be in as good a place, also I don't think it will break 700 now

Star Wars fans are rabid if this is anywhere close to divisive it will argued over for decades

But the best video games the ones that are great have just as high if not higher audience scores on metacritic

A non sequitur straw man argument

A hell of way to go through life the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face

No Time warner cable is seperate from Time Warner itself the spin off happened a while ago

Exactly, I'm not for the At&t deal either but that at least is vertical integration this is horizontal, if fox can not hang on how much longer do sony and paramount have

I'll leave it here as there is no point in going further. This comment probably best describes the current reality

No but they own Espn and it’s broad sports array

It 100% is a merger with 21st century fox becoming part of Disney the only parts not are the news divisions which are being spun off to make a new company

The DOJ could block parts of the merger particularly in regards to sports and TV which would be best but I don’t know beyond that.

Yep that’s it exactly I’m sure you have the same opinion for all other major corporate mergers just being butt hurt at success. Like the airline mergers have made flying so much better for the consumer

This attitude is what’s wrong with this yes you get your comic book movies but at what cost for the larger media market

I assume you’re a a Disney shareholder so yea you should be trhilled for now but in the long run this hurts everyone

Hahaha that is good. But you have to think beyond movies this level of media domination has after effects Disney already dominates local and state level politics in Florida and California this only expands their reach

The other studios will try to survive this which will lead to more consolidation and more and more but beyond Hollywood these are media empires sports, tv, video games. Disney in sports is now untouchable that’s bad

Do we deserve it?

I don’t have time to write a full consumer theory paper for why a monopoly is bad, read into the LA times controversy this year for a brief description or read about the movie theater issue with Disney. But beyond that this deal gives far too much power to one entity, in terms of sports Disney is now the only game in town in NY and other areas, in terms of TV it will own 42% of the market that’s obscene and a similar amount for movies. This will create costs that will be past down to consumers Disney can jack up rates as it had no competition the other studios will have to merge to compete and then what

That’s pedantic do better. Evil is shorthand for ruthless and bad for the consumer which Disney is through its practices
