    Amazon Is About to Eat the TV Universe “On Jan. 29, Prime Video will make its ad tier the default for its tens of millions of subscribers, a move that could unravel how advertisers deal with TV broadcasters and scare off rivals with its massive scale.” Amazon’s decision to introduce...

    Getting average ratings so far, not heard much buzz on it. Maybe it will pick up steam later.

    Need to watch it again… hard to believe Disney made it. “Night Crossing” is a 1982 film based on the true story of two ladies of the night from East Germany who, in a quest for cocaine, defied the odds by building a hot air balloon to create the first mile high club. Set during the Cold War era...

    Priest sucked though… maybe it would fit right in with recent Disney films. I did enjoy Haunted Mansion. Rebrand Disney+ and call it Touchstone… problem solved.

    Agree that for Disney to thrive, it needs to offer a wide range of entertainment options. Like a model similar to Netflix for Disney+, where viewers have access to a diverse selection of content ranging from films like ‘Aliens’ and ‘Predator’ to ‘Poor Things’, as well as classic Disney movies...

    B- with fans on rotten tomatoes proves your point. It’s a different movie, not everyone will like it and audience score reflects that. Critics loved it, A rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Little Mermaid (2023) Audience gave it an A Critics gave it a D+

    From an advertising and marketing perspective. The decline in Disney’s box office performance could be attributed to two key factors. First, storytelling. It’s not just about representation or inclusivity in films. Audiences are looking for engaging stories and characters that resonate with...

    You’ve got a point there. I think the real question we should be asking is why aren’t people going to see the latest Disney movies? Maybe it’s not just about things like a same-sex kiss or who they cast, but more about the stories themselves. If the plot’s just okay or doesn’t grab you, or if...

    It’s all about finding the right balance. We need fresh, original stories, and I’ll begrudgingly give you new takes on the classics(I’m not a fan, new Lion King wasn’t necessary). “The Last of Us”, “Stranger Things” – they’re great examples of how taking a risk can really pay off, offering...

    The argument you’re referring to goes beyond just casting actors of color in existing stories. It’s about striking a balance between creating new, innovative narratives and reimagining classic tales, much like the creative approach taken in “Wonka.” The concern is that simply recasting roles in...

    I’m glad to hear you’re staying, Tony. It’s important to remember that differences in opinion are natural and healthy part of conversation. It’s through different perspectives that we can learn, grow. Sending someone off to the ‘cornfield’ because you disagree with them might not be the answer...

    You tell me, caleb. I’ve laid out my cinematic beliefs in my previous posts. For Mermaid, Wonka, Haunted Mansion, Wish - my views are there. Wonka is great, Mansion very good, Wish average, and Mermaid, well, it’s gimmicky on many levels. It seems our cinematic tastes just don’t align, and...

    Tony, your insinuations in previous posts have been quite clear, and my responses reflect that. It’s not about being defensive; it’s about standing firm in my beliefs. Rest assured, I’m not racist, and I’m pleased we’re on the same page there. Now, since you mentioned your exit is imminent, feel...

    Tony, I find our exchange to be quite perplexing. While I respect your viewpoints, I must express that labeling my opinions as racist seems to be a misinterpretation. My comments on Mermaid were solely from a marketing perspective, and my appreciation for the casting in Wonka was genuine. It’s...

    The world of fiction is a grand feast with endless courses. Why worry about the dishes you don’t savor when there’s a whole menu to explore? And as for the crusades and the cries of victimhood, remember, in the vast library of stories, each book is an invitation, not an obligation. Choose your...
