Netflix buys Warner Bros for 72 billion

[Zazen]

Surprised this is only two pages long. If this is going to go through I honestly would rather have Netflix get the deal. Isn't Paramount tied with Saudi Arabia. I don't want Saudi money anywhere near this.

Because?

Zachary Levi sounds off to provide first hand experience, but doesn't exactly say anything that wasn't already presented.

Netflix walks, handing WBD to Paramount.

IMO - smart move from Netflix. They were going to have to fight US and EU regulators for the next 18 months. Instead, Paramount will have to do all that. If Paramount wins, their prize is to be one of the most highly leveraged takeovers in US corporate history. The joke going around is that Netflix may just end up buying Paramount in a few years when / if they fuck it up.

Feel bad for the people at HBO. 18 months of uncertainty followed by drastic cost cutting.

Lol that can't be real.

Who the hell dreams of working in the coal mines? And if someone does dream of that, who the hell would bother to stop them?

I heard another movie is a trans woman wanting to work on an oil rig while doing part time work cleaning sewers, but nobody will let him...her...them?
