Amazon buys out MGM giving them rights over James Bond, The lord of the rings, Rocky/Creed, Robocop and more -

It is interesting to see what Jeff is throwing his money at; and what other ultra wealthy men are throwing their money at.

Bill Gates, Elon and Jeff seem to have ensured that they don't cross paths.

Bill will own all the food and water ways.
Elon will control new energy and the objects that use them (spaceships, cars)
Jeff will control consumables entire infrastructure.

I personally like Elon's approach. He isn't after the Moon. Or Mars. He is after those asteroids and possible mining of H3 on the moon. He is a smart SOB. These NASA contracts allow him to take NASA where they want - but it's his Autobahn and they are paying him to build it.

Yeah Elon is one of the three that seems intresting to me

Do you really trust Amazon to do that right?

At the very least they did save The expanse from the terrible SyFy channel which is big up from me. If they wanted another big hit scifi show. Rebooting or continuing Stargate series it could be huge. I always wondered why stargate never got the same acclaim as stuff like startrek when i consider it a much better series.

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

I was just musing a few days ago about how we're getting close to Demolition Man, only instead of Taco Bell owning everything, it'll be Amazon owning everything.

When's Amazon going to buy out Taco Bell?

It's even worse: Taco Bell has been removing all their "good" shit for the last ~1.5 years. Their menu is shit now and seeing them die would make me happy.

Bill is getting thrown into the gutter, so shit might be interesting for the next few months. Blood in the mud might make the others scramble...

Wow, this dystopia really sucks.

It really is a cyberpunk dystopia - complete with the megacorporations.

(Can you imagine if Di$ney and Amazon merged, or one took over the other?)

 

[Irrelevant]

As a massive Stargate fan it's going to be sad when amazon reboots and ruins it. MGM being run by a bunch of retards meant it was safe as they had no idea why people liked it and gave up when their last push flopped. Amazon will drive it into the grave and shit on it.

YouTube has been recommending me Gateworld videos and Brad Wright interviews for months saying a new series is "close".

I thought MGM was already owned by Warner Bros. Isn't that the reason why they own the right to Tom & Jerry and Droopy?

Streaming services are slowly getting deleted or disliked by Americans who are getting tired of the “woke” agendas put forth on the silver screen. We’ll have to see how much Amazon will try to pull until it’s all just a waste of time.

I really hope this is fact and not just generalizing conjecture that gives normies way too much credit for thinking critically about their media. Keep in mind that these are the same people who will adopt left-wing talking points because it's socially expedient for them despite being center-left, center-right or outright apathetic towards politics otherwise. They don't really give much thought into the horrific implications of Amazon's growing power over their lives either.

Netflix, Hulu exodus? 1 in 3 Americans ready to dump streaming services over lackluster shows - Study Finds

Unfortunately, not all the shows and streaming services are living up to their hype, leaving many people ready to cut their subscriptions.

www.studyfinds.org

Of those surveyed, 31 percent blamed social media for creating a socially-distanced peer pressure effect during the pandemic. Another 28 percent said their friends made them feel like they just had to keep up with the nightly programming. Even though over half the poll (55%) is using a streaming service as an escape from their daily lives, trending shows aren’t necessarily living up to their hype.

Despite keeping up with their streaming fees, the pandemic took a financial toll on many Americans. With that in mind, one in two (49%) want to find ways to pay less for their streaming services than they did in 2020.

Nearly a third (32%) are planning on canceling the streaming services they’re currently using once the country fully reopens. One in three cite cost as the reason they’re planning to cancel a subscription.

Of those planning on cutting back their streaming use, nearly half (46%) say Netflix is most likely to get the chop. Hulu (34%) and Amazon Prime (34%) follow closely behind. Over the past twelve months, half of those surveyed say they also turned to free, ad-supported streaming services as a way to cut costs and supplement their subscription bills.

That was due to Ted Turner fuckary, MGM is left with most of the post 1986 movies and tv shows , United Artists and Orion Pictures stuff, even then not all the movies those have put out.

I was seeing stuff about this deal somehow having those rare "Trump says nigger" tapes they kept saying existed for The Apprentice but they never appeared for 5 years, and at this point I can't tell what is real with liberal twitter screeching and what's just made up in their HRT addled minds.

I think its time to bring back the love amazon......

(Amazon doesn't have the balls to bring this back)

Id actually dig it, if it had tits and blood. I just dont want a cheap ass repeat of 3.



1 from a film and story telling perspective is probably the best one to ape.

2 is just one of the most uniquely dumb, horny and fucked up movies in existence. Never seen anything like it before or sense.

3 tries to be smart and have heart, but its cheap and stupid as hell, invalidating the entire point of the past 2 movies.

4 is ok.


It really wouldn't be hard to reboot or put a sequel that's set out in some country that isn't the U.S. The comics mention that other people and nations got the DNA blueprints from the aliens. You could have a really fucked up arms race going on. Make it even more interesting if you throw in legit human's with alien blood injections to be used as bloodhounds. From the sourcebook roleplaying game.


Basically what im saying is, either stick to Giger's original vision of what it should be, Seriously examine the human condition, or do a really fucked up movie. Dont half ass it.

Amazon bought MGM to loot it, just as businessmen like Kirk Kerkorian and Ted Turner did in the past. Though Amazon may be interested in looting "intellectual properties", maybe even now someone at Amazon is planning a Rocky reboot where the title character is a trans-lesbian MMA fighter out to put bigoted bio-female opponents in their place.

I remmber they said it was going to be realsed before the 2018 midterms never happened. Hell if these tapes were real they would have been used in 2020 election just like the "grabbed them by the pussy" tape from 2016. I seriously doubt their real at this point.

I think in 2016 NBC probably had paid staff going through every recording they ever had of the guy, Access Hollywood was a hot mic footage so not something anyone but them would have access to. There never were any nigger tapes, we would have heard them in 2016, they wouldn't have been able to resist.
