There's all the slimy greedy degenerate corporations. Then there's Disney, the seemingly innocent mouse-masked Twilight zone-esque business that plays up their fun factor to hide their despicable amounts of greed. There is no reason as to why we should let Disney literally have it all.Vakanai wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 1:00 pmIs 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?kingkevzilla88 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 11:51 am 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!
It's an endless void with them, once a franchise gets swallowed up, say goodbye to that franchise until the Mouse is ready to make money off em, get in line behind the hundreds of other franchises awaiting a few releases.
Multiple companies means multiple franchises simultaneously, multiple ideas being put forward. With a mass buy out like this, it becomes less arthouse and more restricted. It's a terribly slippery slope.
