Everything old is new again: In the early 1970s, after a lunch meeting between Bluhdorn and Lew Wasserman, Gulf and Western’s Paramount and MCA’s Universal merged their international operations to create Cinema International Corporation, a joint venture. United Artists later joined the joint venture, which became United International Pictures – gada, gada, gada: “It was in the reign of George II that the above-named personages lived and quarrelled ; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now.” Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray.

I think both youtube and Netflix have their own position with viewers. Going for each other’s share would be foolish.

Because movies are so important to our family, I am a little confused by this purchase. For 1 billion dollars, Netflix could make ten 100 million dollar movies. Now, multiply that by 72. And consider an adjustment of twenty 50 million dollar movies. I wonder how Governor Newsome would feel about the effect on employment and tax revenues in California alone.
Looked up size of WB library—very large. So, a benefit to Netflix is the right to modify, remake, or otherwise manage films without legal jeopardy. While the library is extensive, the simple truth is that older movies are treated like objects in an antique store by viewers; they are going to watch a Game of Thrones over a 1950s movie about Merlin and his magic, starring a very famous actor of the day.
It is hard to believe that film schools in California are graduating students who do nothing but plunder the works of others; new material makes viewers happy; and new material is sought after by industry professionals. Because of new material like Landman, we joined Paramount.

The same Hollywood unions who, together with insane grifting and over regulation, have DESTROYED filming in Los Angeles / California; are now complaining !!
Now I despise the Netflix leadership for their politics and willingness to DESTROY IP that many of us love. However, and I despise Zaslov and the WBD board for similar reasons, but in terms of this deal their own GREED, over the better interests of their shareholders. Sure the Netflix offer looks attractive, but there are HUGE and HOSTILE anti-trust review that the FTC will bring and the EU may bring – the merger of the No 1 and No 3 streamers is never going to be good for the consumer.
