- ParaNetflix+ -- nm - budice Apr 9, 08:40 1
  - I think you just mean Netflix. Bitch. -- nm - Netflix Apr 9, 08:41
- ParaPeacoMax+++ - and then merge a bunch of the other smaller streamers nobody wants into the mix and rebrand it as 'Cable' -- nm - decline Apr 9, 08:40 1
  - I could see them doing it cause they stupid. Netflix already won so likely can't be bothered -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:44

- do the production rights to Star Trek go with this deal? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:30 13
  - It’s a uniquely complicated deal, but they should get virtually Paramount assets, including Star Trek, presuming it goes through. - David Apr 9, 08:41 3
    - Maybe we will get to see Tom Cruise as a starfleet admiral - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:25 2
      - Not sure that Tom Cruise would want to play an alien... -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 09:34
      - (I thought he was a part owner, or at least a tight collaborator, but perhaps I was misinformed) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:30
  - if they buy Paramount in it's entirety yeah. but if they just want Paramount + I don't think so. David should know more on this -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:37 8
    - who the fuck would pay for just the streamer without rights to the shows? gong show. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 08:38 7
      - right? But most of the deals I've read and hear Kim & co. talk about is that companies that want to buy out want the streamer & not Paramount -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:42 6
        
        Nobody wants linear, but corporations won’t sell piecemeal. Otherwise, they’d get stuck with the rotting corpse. -- nm - David Apr 9, 08:44 5
        
        I get what you're saying (and I basically agree), but there is still big money in linear for at least two more decades -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 08:58
        
        lol unlike the non-rotting corpse of the streamers that continue to bleed money from their collective aortas - hollywood big shot Apr 9, 08:48 3
        
        Sure, and I've got a good feeling about the return of pagers! -- nm - David Apr 9, 09:55
        
        I dunno. Pluto seems to be viable and they're just a service without owning or producing any content. That's even with Viacom buying them -- nm - JD Apr 9, 08:57 1
        
        Plus, Netflix is wildly profitable. Hulu has had steady profit for a while now. Max just got a year of profitability. -- (edited) - Inigo Apr 9, 09:07

Parks and Rec premiered 15 years ago today. TREAT YO SELF! -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Apr 9, 07:27 18
- Having just watched it for the 1st time, it encapsulates the Obama-era optimism, and never could be on the air today. - MDH Apr 9, 07:36 13
  - Ted Lasso is even more upbeat and optomistic and it was huge just 3 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:46 7
    - This was "political optimism" - I haven't seen Ted Lasso but I don't think it's the same. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 08:58 3
      - Yeah, I think subject matter counts, eg Brooklyn 99 had to make a huge swerve after George Floyd's murder. 'Funny cops' was too close to the bone -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 09:25 2
