crumbs 14,318 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 How long until Disney buys John Williams? They've already begun monopolizing his music with iron-clad, year-long contracts, preventing him from working for rival studios (Bridge of Spies, Ready Player One) and forcing him to record his scores around the corner from his house (they can't track his movements overseas). How long until JWFan faces the same corporate acquisition? Soon we'll need microchips implanted just to like a post. Then they'll come for our thoughts...

Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Is anyone else really fucking worried, about this? Disney has proven itself time and time again that it is an amoral, avaricious, cynical company. Now it acquires another studio, plus all the stuff that goes with it. How long before it makes a bid for Warner Bros., or Universal, or Paramount? Is there no ended to The Mouse's greed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 All internet fanboys seem to care about is how it will result in the integration between Marvel and X-Men. They're ecstatic about it. Disney has conditioned them to be right where it wants them through its nurturing of modern nerddom. Alien/Predator fans, however, are fucking terrified.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Crazy this actually happened. I've got mixed feelings about it, as I feel it could be bad for future film studios, but acknowledge at the same time it has me kinda interested, as I'm curious to see what Disney will do with most of Fox's titles. I do know that the Alien franchise is basically dead already anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
