Ellison [2]said the Paramount and Warner Bros. brands will remain prominent. "We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one. Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. -- and all our extraordinary brands -- to remain in the spotlight."

Hey now. Larry's not such a bad guy. He just paid me $38 for my privacy invasion class action suit.

It's pure insanity to hate someone so much because they donated money to a person you dislike and one that actually won the popular vote. I understand the hatewashing done by attack ads, news, and places like reddit is strong but look at what you just wrote.

No. Larry Ellison is a well known piece of shit. If you support him then fuck you too,b because you're also a piece of shit, just like everyone who voted for the orange child rapist.

Along those lines, Paramount owns Comedy Central, which airs South Park, which has a $1.5B 5-year streaming contract with Paramount -- and South Park (now, South America) is regularly trashing Trump, the GOP, billionaires and data centers -- along with pretty much anyone else, even liberals, who deserve it ... Sure, Paramount and Ellison will probably make money airing SP, but it shows where their real priorities are. Trump and MAGA are just a means to an end.

If we ever again have even remotely sane management, it will be time for the U.S. to break up that industry into at least a dozen actual competitors. Also healthcare. And a lot of others.

I retract what I said about healthcare, that needs exactly one single payer only - health insurance is a scam we have to be done with. As far as service providers, there should be many, but maybe not competing ones, that hasnâ(TM)t exactly driven down prices.

Skydance is the company name, the brands are remaining the same.

Sydance is one of those pre-existing brands. "Skydance Productions was an American media production and financing company"

Is anyone else annoyed by the 5 minutes of excessively loud studio splash screens at the start of every movie, these days.

You are looking at it wrong. To eliminate the woketards you would have to eliminate the actors. The personality that makes up most actors is wholly left by nature. They're sensitive and aware of other people and their feelings, unlike most on the right, who are convinced they are the current center of the universe and correct with God's backing in all things.

You realize that even Dirty Harry is woke? At the end of the movie he realizes he went too far and throws his badge in the river.
