Us panicking and saying that scenario will indeed happen only tells the Hellisons "yea, you won, go do the thing already, idc". It's the same obey-in-advance crap that's thrived on here since its beginnings, and on twitter before it completely went to shit. It won't work out the way they want it to.

It's much easier to retool and change the goals of a "news" network like CBS and CNN than it is to... Let's see... Force big studios - w/ multiple people and resources - that practically survive on making films/TV for a worldwide audience change course completely and make DailyWire-esque poopoo.

Much like November 2024, it indicates very hard times ahead. But not the end of everything. PSky will bungle this, they're already riddled w/ debt and massive headaches. I also do think that there WON'T be a complete shift to MAGA nonsense in film/TV/entertainment. No one really wants that.

So yeah, now that some time has passed. I think two things are true. This impending Paramount-Skydance takeover of Warner Bros. is BAD-BAD-BAD and should not happen... And that Bluesky is dooming as usual. Criticize and yell, yes, that's good, but stop w/ the "it's over" crap.

Seeing an early screening of "Hoppers" with @movielord101.bsky.social on Saturday. And to prepare, I'm watching "We Bare Bears", which the director of this movie previously worked on. Gotta say, this show is a delight so far! 🤔

In case anybody needs a little bit of hope after today’s breaking news. So far, it’s not official that they’ll merge. deadline.com/2026/02/para...

As much as it initially brought me into doomist territory, the utter lack of sugarcoating about the merger situation does weirdly make me feel a bit better. No one is fooled by them anymore. Public ammunition to fight against these are stronger than ever. It just needs to be translated into action.

Fuck critics, #Scream7 was awesome and I want Kevin Williamson to do the next movie! All I’ll say! And, shockingly, the Scary Movie 6 trailer was hilarious! One joke in it had me laughing HARD!

At the end of the day, I'm not gonna let the bad news bring me down. If anything, I wanna fight for a better future in media and hope that we still get good movies out. To quote Shawshank Redemption, "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."

Did they? Netflix has a huge advantage in partnering with Apple to build something bigger and better than anything Paramount is trying to do. The midterms favor Dem’s and Paramount is screwed and will be in over their heads and people will cancel subscriptions in droves. Never underestimate Netflix!

A lot of doomers don't even bother to offer solutions. The best way to resolve a problem is always to present a solution that hurts the least amount of people, which could then inspire others. Doomers prove Hugh Laurie's character in Tomorrowland was right: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi1r...

MOTHERFUCKER.

NETFLIX, COUNTER THEM. YOU KNOW YOU CAN!

Well at least it isn’t that weird Greek guy directing again.

No shit. The MCU is doing fine.

Listen, I'm not a fan of these live-action remakes either, but it's been over a decade we've been having these and we gotta accept and respect that there are people who unironically enjoy them. Sometimes, you just gotta say that they're just movies and there are bigger issues in the world than them.

Diaz Station when he sees live action remakes like last year's How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch getting positive reviews from critics and become box-office hits.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

You don't have to be perfect. You can't be. No one can. Throw perfect away and remind yourself that you deserve to be here. And then be here.

Honestly, I’ve seen worse. Seeing it tonight regardless.

If I ever did a reboot of Totally Spies, I’d want this to be the theme song but with the actresses voicing the girls singing it. It just oddly fits the tone I’m going for: a more story-focused yet still funny and fun take à la Marvel! youtu.be/5Xvr5l8s4YY?...

Diaz Station in a nutshell

I've never liked loot boxes. Not even when Valve does it. If they lose this case it could set a major precedent for the entire video game industry.
