“You think it was an exercise freak who invented power steering?”

I think we need those people who really like to work or else we wouldn’t have computers and stuff. Probably wouldn’t have war either but whatever.

She’s sad she didn’t have to go on a promotional tour?
Gee, she must really like to work.

I refuse to look up how to watch Starz in the year 2022 but I'm excited for this to come out

This site doesn’t have editors anymore.

“Shameik Moore returns to voice Miles, alongside Hailee Steinfeld as Stacy/Spider-Gwen, Jake Johnson as Peter B. Parker, Luna Lauren Velez as Rio Morales, and Brian Tyree Henry as Jefferson Davis. Greta Lee and Oscar Issac have also returned for the sequel.

I’m gonna watch this on my cell phone in about three months and then decide if it’s a good movie. 

I remember the general sentiment around the original Avatar being awe at the technology and the world itself while complete indifference at the characters and story, so I’m a bit bummed to learn it focuses on the same heroes and villains instead of being an entirely new story within the Avatar universe.

If this is your bag then by all means enjoy yourself. I personally have no interest in seeing a piece of especially dumb seventies van art turned into a 2 1/2 movie 

Zaslav was head of Discovery prior to the merger, right?  He’s the one that transformed it from high brow education stuff to cheap-as-dirty-reality-trash.  He’s a one trick pony trying the same method on HBO?  Maybe?

I don’t even know what they get out of killing HBO Max.  HBO is still a pretty prestigious brand-name, much more so than Discovery, which used to be high brow educational stuff and has now become lowest-common denominator reality trash.  But if you kill off HBO’s streaming stuff, what do you do with it?  Just sit on…

It could have been worse -- a decade ago she almost played Mary Jane in the infamous Broadway flop “Spiderman: Turn off the Dark” according to the tell-all book “The Song of Spiderman”.

All they’ll have to do is get a billion people to subscribe to Max for three years each; how hard can that be with the 90-Day-verse as their prime offering?

“Check your app, pal, because you’re watching Fuck City, now streaming on HBO Max!”

She really needs that sweet sweet Yankovic bump

Oh I get it now, Gob Bluth is in charge of HBO!

Is this a case of “saving the company” or more of a “cut ALL the expenses so I can claim to have increased profits for a massive bonus before I jump ship on the drained husk of the once thriving company” situation?

This is entirely about not having to pay residuals or broadcast rights fees.
WB got loaded up with WAY too much debt between its AT&T tenure and what Zaslav had to borrow to pull off the merger. Add in the popping of the streaming growth bubble and there’s pretty much no possible way for WB Discovery to grow it’s way…

This is totally bonkers and alarming.  Moreso than Batgirl ever was. Like taking True Blood or something off because the show trailed off in the end.  Insanity.

Zaslav’s strategy seems to be the equivalent of “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box?” That’s a hacky punchline and so is he.
