Looking at YOU, Williams Street/Warner Bros.
I’m so fine with them killing off as many franchises as possible. Might force them to make an original movie again.
They will just reboot it pretending it’s original
Case in point: another Battlestar Galactica reboot is apparently in the works.
I’m not sure I mind that. The last one was pretty good. Not sure about the spinoff as I stopped watching it after two eps maybe.
The Caprica spinoff, you mean? It was really slow for most of the season, suddenly picked up at the end and got really good, and then it was canceled.
That was my recollection too. Super slow all the way up to the finale when everything blew up.
Yeah, that one. Too bad about it.
Hahaha, good one.
Or just remake even more of the same thing with less diversity overall, like Spider-man & Batman.
It’s funny how people say this, yet when original movies come out, nobody goes to see them. Disney is a good example. People bitch that Disney only makes sequels and reboots and doesn’t make original movies anymore. Yet the original movies they’ve released over the last 2 years have flopped and people don’t go see them. Strange worlds, wish, etc all failed. And the moment they release a sequel it makes a billion in the box office.
It’s no wonder they make more sequels than originals. They’d be stupid and bad at business if they didn’t.
In theory it helps by funneling fans between The Avengers, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, for which they have refined the process of pumping out content and merchandise with lower cost and risk
In practice people just stop going to the movies
But hey, I guess the profit margins are better
Large corporations rarely innovate and try new things. Most innovation comes from smaller players with limited market share taking risks.
Large companies buy out smaller ones who create cash cows from taking large risks. The large company then milks the cash cows until they are completely dead.
The consolidation of studios to a few megacorporations has led to this inevitable end. The solution is simple: break them up. If we have 30 or so similar sized studios competing, we will get better movies/TV again.
I’m surprised there wasn’t a big drop from Netflix and big ass TV’s.
There was. If you map that onto the growth in population you’ll see that tickets per person has been dropping since about 2000.
I’ve been to like six or seven movies with my partner…
We’ve been together for 12 years.
We’ve seen thousands of movies, though—thank you, trackers.
Big ass TVs?
Doesn’t sound sanitary.
Is this in reference to a particular IP?
Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.
I get the joke, but what is this from?
The Refer Madness Musical. It’s hilarious. Kristen Bell, Brian Weber, Ana Gastyer, the dude from Tales from the Crypt, and Neve Campbell.

I love this movie. Reefer Madness.
Listen to Jesus Jimmy, Im the face on the shroud of Turin
Listen to Jesus Jimmy, do I need to test your urine!
This movie is hilarious. Never fails to make me smile.
