to be clear, it is fine if you just want to dick around! that's what i mostly do on here. but the idea that "you're giving up the fight to influence people by not using X" is belied by the fact that effectively *no one* uses X. and i don't see any of the "use X!" people on tiktok or youtube.

I question if this was truly a work of a human being or AI slop because by god, this was incredibly stupid article.
just stay in your lane and shut up. you have no idea what you are talking about on this.

Silver is the weakest commissioner of the major sports. The scoring trend is a clear long term problem and he’s doing nothing about it.
I think there’s a real chance by the end of this decade the NBA is a distant third in popularity domestically.

its been terrible for consumers because the quality of what they consume is significantly worse.

Netflix is the primary driver for the decline in quality of Hollywood over the last 15 years.
I hate the Ellisons but Paramount would be the case for pro-creative, pro-consumer and it isn't even close.

Netflix is not the lesser of two evils. It is probably more anti-creative, anti-cinema than Ellison is.

DC Metro has the best system for commuters in the US. But the actual map within the DC city limits is still lackluster.
Georgetown, Union Market, H St Corridor, etc. not having any direct stops that are within 10min walking distance is still absurd.

winning the primary was the impressive feat. he had a bigger win than Adams had four years ago by almost 12%.

eh, fine. I just don't think it's that massive of a story that a Rush Hour 4 is happening. WB was open to licensing it out so some studio would pick it up.

I think Ellison would have done this eventually without Trump. If Ellison never bought Paramount, sure this doesnt happen.
But I don't think Ellison cared about Ratners past as a blocker.
I think the biggest blocker for him is the fact that Chan/Tucker are going to demand 100m combined at least.

my assumption is that if Tucker/Chan are fine with Ratner returning, then this would happen.
If they actually were never going to want to work with him and are only doing it now because of Trump, that would be a story.
but I think this was inevitable and Trump just accelerated it.

I agree Ratner has been a blocker but even last year, there was reports of this pitch with Ratner attached. Trump obviously pushed it to make it happen but I think this could have happen still even with Ratner without Trump eventually.

Will a ‘Rush Hour’ Sequel Resurrect Brett Ratner?

*sorry, last year. We did get a 150m budget Happy Gilmore 2 this year which no one also complained was a losing bet.

we just had a massive opening weekend of a film that is a sequel to a film that is based off a hit broadway show that is prequel/reimainging of a 1939 film that is based off a 1900 book.
Hollywood trying to milk decades-old IP is status quo. The ROI on this is better than people think.

ok but if Trump never said anything and Paramount decided otherwise make a RH4, it wouldn't be that shocking of an idea.
Netflix spent 150m on BHC4 and HG2. Making Rush Hour 4 is align with these long-gap sequels of 80s/90s IP.

We got a 150m Beverly Hills Cop this year on Netflix and no one made a big deal of saying it lost Netflix a shit-ton of money.
Even 200m for RH4 is not the worst idea in the world. The overseas numbers will be much bigger time around and its a valuable IP for any streaming platform.

This M&A shouldn't be happening in the first place but if it will happen, Comcast is the best option of these three.

Comcast is the best suitor. Paramount has too many idiots at the top and Netflix is a soulless digital void that will destroy the WB theatrical division and dilute HBO offering.
Comcast can absorb this and actually create not ruin things while forcing competition with Disney/Netflix.
