See? That's what's killing "jobs". All those R rated movies with lower budgets? Think of all those CGI artists who can't get work because the studios are too cheap to shell out for the more expensive PG-13 stuff! And the children! Think of the children! All those cool movies they can't watch! Won't someone think of the poor children who are longing to see a Deadpool movie but are being stopped at the door by the heartless Fox studio? But you guys don't care about "jobs" and the "children" because you just want your stabby bloody splattered brain shots wedged between scenes filled with expletive filled dialog about having sex with a duck-billed platypus. What is the world coming to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpospoke Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Oh....can I get on the "doom" bandwagon too? This thing about the Murdoch spawn getting a fast track to running the Disney studio is pretty scary. That better not be remotely true. Someone posted a while back that we might look back on this as the point where the Murdoch clan took over Disney. And then there is that Feige's contract with Marvel is up next year? He could be gone. So instead of the X-men and FF being fixed by Marvel...could this be when the Marvel universe starts being run like Fox ran the X-men and FF? Oh hell.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNerdy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Meh, there's no use crying over spilled milk. Whether we like it or not, Fox was set to be sold. If this means less indie movies, less R-rated movies, and less diversity in movies, than the rule of competition will set in and one or more studio(s) will take the opportunity to fill in this gap.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, how would you get more Disney animated movie or less after that transaction ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all those CGI artists who can't get work because the studios are too cheap to shell out for the more expensive PG-13 stuff! You understand that the "issue" people has is Disney going from around 40 to 50 movies a year model to one around 10 movie a year. If they were doing/distributing those 10 same giant movie a year + 40 others, what anyone except Disney stock holder would loose exactly, what could possibly anyone issue with someone wishing for more studio movies out there instead of less ? What jobs loss do you have in mind ? It is not about what they are doing but about what they are not doing and the scaring idea is that the complete industry will follow that model (Fox first after the deal), and we will end up with 500 less than 1 million budget movie and 40 to 50 giants one (that need to appeal to a small common denominator to work) with nothing in the middle. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of "Disney is EVIL" crap in this thread, and now we get some mindless Disney worship. But then, this website often does not much in the way of balanced opinion.
