I know it's become commonplace for streamers to do this, but a gigantic **** you to the new Max app for doing a new recommendation splash page for a series you just finished. It would've been nice to simmer on the black credits screen at the end of Barry's finale, but the exact second they started I was hit a bright white screen displaying clickable trailers. Real "these ****-ers don't matter" energy from the people who brought you the Creators section.

Yeah i really hate that. Successions bts breakdown didn't even start before that happened.

Writer strike starts. Late night talk show go dark, SNL postponed, fall schedule announcements delayed.

I don't think WB could legally stop paying residuals (even although they likely want) just because their streaming changed names.

If WB could just stop paying residuals by changing the streaming name, they wouldn't need to erase so many series.

Random question but are the subtitles messed up for anyone else? They show up at the bottom of the screen but they are so far down it’s cut off.

Max Has More Discovery+ TV Shows Than HBO Shows – IndieWire
And 113 fewer movies than HBO Max had before the merger with Discovery+.

I'm not surprised, seems like Max gave away a lot of their original content. Who gives away Westworld? Stupid.

Zaslav continues his plan to make TCM AMC2.

 

[Bran The Man]

Did anyone else's bill go up again, even slightly?

I thought I was paying $15.99. I go to look at my bill, and I was charged $17.23.

Mine com3s with my cable package so I didn't notice.

 

[souvlaki]

Yet another reason to consider cancelling my Max subscription.

Imagine having these guys hate you...

Nolan

I watched The Traitors U.S. version because of Survivor players and it was good! I didn't know it was connected to Wb since it is on Peacock.

Hope they beat some goddamn sense into him.

Warner Bros. Discovery in $500 Million Deal forMusic Publishing Assets - Variety

Warner Bros. Discovery is negotiating to sell around half of the storied Warner studio’s film and TV music-publishing assets for approximately $500 million, three sources confirm to Variety. The news was first reported by Hits.

While it is unclear exactly which assets are on the table, one source says that the rights to “slightly less than half” of the catalog, with a price of around $500 million, are likely to go to a major label, with Sony said to be in the lead. The catalog is believed to include music from such films as “Purple Rain,” “Evita,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Rent” several “Batman” films and many more titles, as well as songs included in iconic films such as “As Time Goes By” from “Casablanca.” Top attorney Allen Grubman is said to be overseeing the deal for Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav.

However, some observers cast a skeptical eye on the deal, saying that many of the company’s assets are more than a half-century old and are “declining” in value and difficult to exploit. They are said to consist largely of film themes and cues — with comparatively few conventional songs — that would have little resonance in the present or future.

 

[Arachnerd]

And so it begins.

Farewell, Warner Brothers. You had a good run.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Chipping away at this company piece by piece.

TCM UK will also be shutting down in the UK on July 6th after almost 30 years.

 

[Arachnerd]

Just utterly depressing to witness.

 

[samsnee]

This really summarizes everything under Zas

 

[Arachnerd]

The man is truly aspiring to become the most hated film studio executive of all time.

 

[psylockolussus]

Just started watching And Just Like That season 2.

Any word if The Flight Attendant will have a third season?
