Film Now Introducing HBO Max Classic

[Bran The Man]

So by gaining WB, Netflix expands their library with some MAJOR IPs, but at the cost of theatrical and home video releases? Maybe even a dip in quality?

I'm still trying understand what all of this means.

Jason Kilar is bemoaning this on social media and I'm like "***** you're the reason why this happened!".

Good thing I've got the day off because I'm tempted to down some Jameson and watch this over and over again.

It means any of us who love cinema and the theater, films made with care and with professionalism... lose.

I really don’t like him. Happy Paramount didn’t get WB, but still not happy.

Hey Ted... come to Portland.

The theater experience is clearly the most desired thing around. We have 6-7 cinemas who strive to push the boundaries of film history by projecting 35mm and more as much as possible.

Let alone, few of those in that group who show the most random films from the past half century, to even sold out crowds. Hell, I've seen;

Batman Forever
Halloween III | The Season Of The Witch
Dune (1984)
Black Sunday
Dogtooth
Fire...
