That word does not mean what you think it means
Well, it depends on who buys them and I hope that who ever it is, still let's Arrow,Shout,Kino and Vinegar Syndrome have access to the vault.

Honestly why are all the studios keep selling their film related stuff anyway? What's the point of getting rid of potential money makers?

I doubt Disney would have their sale approved, anyway at this point.

Warner already owns a large portion if MGM's library so I'd think they'd be the most likely candidate. MGM only owns the rights to its post 1986 library anyway.

Denmark has a kids show about a man with a giant, prehensile ding dong!

I have no words to describe how f'd up and creepy this is.

I'm a little late to the game on this, but I just recently stumbled across news that, yes, Uwe Boll plans to come back to filmmaking. Be very afraid.

He said he wants to get Michael Caine, Tom Hanks and Mel Gibson to work for him. Yeah, good luck with that, bruh, especially in the post-Covid world.

Just watched Greenland. Better than I expected. I did notice a continuity error though.
Spoiler:
In the end where it showcases destroyed cities, it shows Paris destroyed. Yet only a tad bit later in the final shot before the credits it showcases the western hemisphere, from Europe to North America, it shows that the westernmost european nations (France, Iberia, Lowland Countries, British Isles) had been completely destroyed and wiped off the map.

There's rumours going around that Disney wants to buy MGM. I pray to God that these are just rumours, the idea of Disney own Rocky,Robocop, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Foxy Brown, Brain Damage, Invasion of The Body Snatchers, The Cannon Film Group and Empire Picture's catalogues, Roger Corman's Poe Films and thousends other sci-fi,horror,fantasy, action and exploitation films is genuinely making me feel sick!

I hope not. Disney owns enough studios. They have no reason to buy more. This monopoly in the film industry needs to stop.

Is there any particular reason why it makes you feel sick? I don't care for Disney's business practices, but I don't particularly hate them any more than any other soulless greedy mega corporation, who all seem pretty slimy to me. As long as whoever owns these films makes these films available periodically on physical media, I don't really care usually who owns them. Unless you're suggesting Disney wouldn't release them to protect their "family friendly" image or something?
