Zaslav and Sarandos are really naive. You can't make such a significant acquisition without the knowledge and approval of Fuckface von Clownstick. You simply can't. Their definitive agreement, which allows Netflix to acquire Warner Bros., will be annulled Monday at the latest.
Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush:
Son and father Ellison are preparing to initiate a hostile bid for Warner Bros., with the support of the American administration. Fuckface von Clownstick will judge everything, and he will likely block the Netflix purchase in favor of the Ellisons.

“As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.”
David Zaslav will make nearly $660 million if Netflix's deal to acquire Warner Bros. closes, according to CNBC.
Add that to his $470 million in compensation since 2019, and the king of failing up is about to be a billionaire.

The best option is that nobody sells. And every one of these CEOs should either learn how to run a successful business which none of them really do as a lot of these companies are in debt. Or step aside and let people who know how to make things people actually want to watch take over again.
The DGA and the Teamsters Union are among those against Netflix’s merger with Warner Bros. ‘The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages,‘ and ‘worsen conditions for all entertainment workers,’ the WGA says.

Incredible interview with Sidney Lumet included in this write-up that left me howling
![What was Dino De Laurentiis like as a producer?
Oh, ah. Great affection for him. He was gonif, and he was charming; and had great taste; was a good cook; and loved movies, loved movies. We had a terrific time on the movie, up until l'd finished it. I didn't want any music for the movie. And I did not, in those days, have final cut. Dino wanted music, and I knew that if I didn't do something about this, he'd take it back to Italy and Nino Rota would lay in a score like wall-to-wall carpeting. (Laughter) | found out by sheer accident that a wonderful composer and a great political activist by the name of [Mikis] Theodorakis, a Greek composer, had just gotten out of jail. The Greek government at that time was pretty much a fascist government, and he had served over a year in jail. And so I figured, well, what the hell, he has got to need money.
(Laughter) And I found him in Paris, twenty-four hours after he got out. He left Greece right away.
And I found him in Paris, and I told him the truth. I said, "Mikis, I don't think the picture needs a score, but I'm terrified of what happens if I don't put one in, because then Dino will put one in. And ! thought this could be marvelous for you, because l know what's in the budget and you could pick yourself up a fast seventy-five thousand bucks here." And he said, "I'm taking the next plane." (Laughter) And he arrived in New York the next day; his plane was late.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2qwpeisxhznwdjfylihurdp4/bafkreigr5oer6vthmg2luoxnrgmuqivkzpakettrd7n6chivcj56nbguka@jpeg)
