  2. My assumption at the time was the idea that you were denying the "all corporations are greedy" line I mentioned. My apologies for the confusion. But just to go back here, I am also well aware that WB and Uni are not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. I am also aware that AMC, Cinemark, Cineworld, and other major exhibitors also made these deals not out of the kindness of their hearts or preservation of the theatrical experience, but rather to appease shareholders. However, the big issue here is the idea you are saying here that theaters should just put up with awful deals and demands from a major company with more money than God. The idea that Disney, one of the biggest media companies in history with hundreds, if not thousands of revenue sources, not only has to make deals for one revenue source that strongly favors them, but you encourage and believe the opposing team should just go with it? Even if they still get anguish from it at the end? That right there is my major problem. The idea that a greedy company that is clearly not starved for money is justified in bullying exhibitors, which despite being in it for the money, is struggling to get by and is the only reason said greedy company is popular in the first place, just because they make popular movies people like...that does not bother you? You really don't think they should compromise, throw a bone, or be a touch nicer? You don't think this is a major problem with our broken and toxic capitalist system? You really don't think this is an issue, even a little bit?
  3. Well then you should find what you said in the Raya thread to be very ridiculous Tele said the corporate boot-licking towards Disney was dumb, and here you were going "well theaters are corporations too, so you should let people defend Disney and let them be against theaters that have far less money and far less market power". Pretty ridiculous stuff, right?
  4. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. WB was willing to compromise and change its terms for theaters, where they are getting the majority of theatrical revenue. Universal was willing to compromise giving some of the PVOD revenue for their movies when they hit digital. But somehow theaters have to kowtow to Disney's previous deals that greatly benefit the greedy pigs at Burbank? You know, the ones that have a massively successful streaming service, several theme parks that folks are dying to go through, and so many other revenue sources? And have had a history of giving crappy deals and strong-arming theaters forever? Yeah, I think these theaters are in the right to take the massive conglomerate down a peg and demand better returns, especially when said conglomerate has so many resources to pull money from. Doesn't matter anyways whether or not Disney is the top dog, since WB's been doing just fine this year already. And don't even start with this whole "well all companies are greedy lol" because that's just a bunch of "both sides"-ism nonsense people do because they get upset when their massive corporation they stan for is mildly jabbed upon by online forums and Redditors. There's a world of difference between Disney and AMC and you know it.
  5. You can still access the original site. There's a link in the top right of the home page where you can visit it https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
  6. I was confused by that too, but I think the real reason is probably just that LeBron's a busy man and it's easier for him to just do some quick voiceover
  7. Honestly I'm more upset Kristen Wiig isn't playing Lola. She played Lola like a stalker in one of the more recent Looney Tunes shows and she was by far the best part of the whole piece.
