-
Daniel Parker (@DanielParker_13) reported@DuncanStott @s8mb The problem here is that the system allowed certain copyright holders (*cough* Disney *cough*) to unilaterally renegotiate the contract in their favor, and this had detrimental effects for everyone affected by copyright law.
-
"All right, all right, all right!" (@StarsAndBars123) reported@KrihaaBoxOffice @DiscussingFilm They work for Disney who previously looked into buying WB! They don't GAF about anyone but their employer!
-
Gregory Wilken (@GregoryWilken) reported@THR Funny they didn’t have the problem when Disney bought the two biggest studios Marvel and Lucas Films.
-
Melosyna (@melosyna) reportedAll three of them work for ******* Disney. Not a single word from them about Disney buying every franchise and studio under the sun. **** these self-righteous hypocrites and their virtue signalling.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reportedA solo dev built a movie discovery app in Flutter and put a "Watch Now" button under Dune: Part Two that Warner Bros never granted him rights to publish. Deep red gradient. #1 Trending badge. Dune: Part Two, 8.6, 2h 46m, Sci-Fi. Oppenheimer, 8.4, 3h 0m, Drama-Biography. Cast row with Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. Category filters: All, Sci-Fi, Drama, Action, Thriller. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the movie detail page. main.dart on the left — Flutter source rendering the poster hero, gradient overlay, cast grid, "You May Also Like" carousel, and the bottom nav. That's a shipped discovery app. Not a mockup. What the clone has: → Trending list with real poster art (pulled from TMDB, probably) → Movie detail pages with cast, runtime, ratings → Genre filters and search → "Watch Later" watchlist → Personalized recommendations copy What the clone doesn't have: → A single licensing agreement with Warner, Universal, Disney, Paramount, or Sony → A CDN capable of serving 4K streams to 10,000 concurrent users → DRM certification (Widevine, FairPlay) required by every studio contract → Regional rights parsing (Dune is on Max in the US, streams free elsewhere, is banned in some markets) → The 10-figure content licensing budget that separates "we show a poster" from "we play the movie" That's the whole business. Here's what nobody in the "just clone Netflix" space is saying out loud: Netflix's moat has never been the interface. Netflix's moat is spending $17 billion a year to license and produce content. The interface is downstream of the licensing bill. Which is why every "Netflix competitor" that started as a discovery app either pivoted to aggregating other services' catalogs (JustWatch, Reelgood) or died trying to stream something it didn't own. The old loop is dead: clone Netflix's UI → wire up a "Watch Now" button → get a cease-and-desist from Warner in week 3 → shut down. The new loop: build the discovery layer → NEVER host content → make money on affiliate redirects when the user clicks "Watch on Max" or "Rent on Apple TV" → let the licensing bill be someone else's problem. The point worth arguing about: in content categories, the interface can never be the business — because the content is worth 95% of the outcome and the interface is worth 5%. But there's a legal, profitable position in the middle: be the FILTER between content and consumer. JustWatch pulls $50M+ a year doing exactly that, and never streams a single frame. I watched a founder spend 8 months building a "curated indie film streaming platform." Beautiful UI. Signed exactly 3 licensing deals — 12 films total. Charged $9 a month. Got 400 users. Lost $200K. The interface knows where the movie is. The studios own whether you can play it. Literally.

Awakened Ape (@MichaelRafael84) reported(From Memoirs & Misinformation) “America is a failing fascist Ponzi scheme. It doesn’t take care of its sick, doesn’t care for its poor. Doesn’t protect its children. Abandons its veterans and its elderly. America’s very God is a fraud, invented by marauding settlers to justify native genocide, a savage deity blessing a savage people, forgiving the napalming of babies in Vietnam, the starvation of five hundred thousand Iraqis in our own lives. And who at this table lost five seconds even thinking about that? No, we drown that out with our positive personal affirmations. We don’t even look after our own. The people who work fifteen hours a day doing our makeup, hair, and wardrobe have to invoice the studios six or seven times before they get paid. They beg while someone siphons interest off their money. And whose ******* idea was a fifteen-hour day in the first place? Once, we were artists. Pure! But we, all of us, we became a distraction, compromised for the sake of fame, comfort, the approval of strangers. We spend our lives pursuing something as empty as ‘relevance’ and they use our fear of losing it to corral us. ***** Malaysian money. Saudi money. We’ll take it all. What went wrong? We sing and dance not to entertain but to distract people from the crushing gears of a capitalist machine that has no ideals save for greed and violence. And let’s not kid ourselves, Hollywood is the best PR firm the gunmakers ever had. What a sick culture. When you can perceive beauty there’s no excuse for serving ugliness. For aiding cons, inflaming desires, promising everything and delivering nothing. It doesn’t matter what you put on TV because people are so frightened and lonely they’ll watch it just to hear human voices and feel like they’re not alone. They’re so beaten down all they need is a soccer tournament every four years and they stay in their place. This is not a society. This is a system of soul-murder. And history will not be kind to us for our complicity, because we know better. The executives”—he nodded Maoishly to the Disney team—“they can say they were serving their god Mammon, but we artists can’t. We’re all East German playwrights now, complicit with the regime! And there will come a time of judgment. We’re destroying the planet. This cannot last. The American citizen is so lost he doesn’t realize he’s a factory pig. Drugged and poisoned from the cradle to the grave. Chained to impossible debts. Never ever free. Liberty? Bah! This is a land of invisible fences, we’re all prisoners watching Capra on movie night. But nothing lasts forever. Europe’s monarchies sent their sons to die in the trenches of the Somme just as surely as we drove Chiang Kai-shek into the sea. You think America will be different? You think this era, one not of consumption but of gluttony, will last forever? It will not . . . We’re going six thousand miles an hour around the sun and nobody’s driving this *****!” said Gary Busey from the woods, where, for his own reasons, he was halfway up an eighty-foot pine tree. There will come another crisis soon. The capitalist scheme will collapse, the people will reclaim their rights. There will be violent unrest. Ask yourselves, Which side am I on? That of the people, or of the billionaires and their running dogs whose heads, I promise, will end up on sticks. The revolution begins now. The death of false gods!" -- Jim Carrey & Dana Vachon

G R (@gfunkybass1976) reported@DisneyPlus Why does a pirate stream box glitch less than a paid subscription?
-
je🐳💨 (@halcyonjef) reportedLmao bro what. You can upload the whole thing!? *toy story 5 Is a post like this not a problem? Will Disney just let it slide(?)

Blorby (@confusedcatgrl) reported@Nintendo @Disney It's a big stretch jumping from 3rd to 1st party games, but unironically, I never had issues playing on my PC, because I ******* own what I pay for. Sure, since the latest gpu update @nvidia pushed out, my gpu has been running a bit spotty, but it's still better than a switch 2.

Velky 🌟 (@Velkyen) reportedSuper late addition: id also like to mention that there is literally livestreamers on YouTube that bait kids into spending money from their parents, manipulating them into doing terrible things, making them watch the streamer potentially “hurting” themselves to keep them watching. But yeah go off on the 2d vtuber that talks about handle bars and ***** bro. Comment about how “oh no u made an innuendo like disney and every other kids show has done, how could you be so evil” You want to advocate for safety of kids? Then start looking at the right place first before u talk.

🔥John Lee🔥 (@VulcanJoker) reported@nypost Problem is not Paramount WB merging, it is that they shouldn't have allowed Disney and Fox merging.
-
Mann Made Cinema (@Hotshot_Movie) reported@DEADLINE Isn't it odd how they're all rich employees of the Disney/Marvel/Fox merger? Of course they have NO problem with the 3x mega-merger stroking their million dollar checks...
-
it’s just me (@heathered105) reported@DisneyPlusHelp OK, so I change my password and then they said tap allow on your iPad so they’ll let me start the stuff but it’s not on my fire stick so again I paid another month and I still cannot get my Disney+ to work. This is really pissing me off.

Phantaze (@Phantaze) reported@OzPardo6 Disney comic universe has same issue: made up countries exists, but so does the actual countries. The only explanation: Disney Comic Universe is twice as large as our world having their and our world smushed together

SMW (@Houseofeden007) reported@DrunkRepub They’ve done the vast majority of their work with Disney. That might have something to do with it

crodar🍞 (@crodaar) reported@tekbog yep just look as Disney. they ******* made Ratatouille. now it's just a slop factory and they aren't even pumping out fully AI generated work yet
-
exsire (@exsiremoment) reported@DiscussingFilm The last time I’ve heard Disney produce a home alone adaptation it was terrible so why does the same company & studio behind the last one go ahead and approach the original actor, just let the classics be left alone if there is no actual good reason on why another reboot
-
D🍒 (@MoonBerry0722) reported@Branox0Cox LMAO that is true I have seen that, but I don’t judge bc tbh it’s not my money that they are spending on a daily to go hangout and disney and “work” 🤭 It’s just silly for those who complain ab locals when most of us have APs and spend our own money on tickets to go😭
-
Sisu (@nopitypolitics) reported@USSGoodGirl @Mag1cWh1p Expensive, crowded, long waits for everything, the psycho Disney adults. It just sounds exhausting and far more trouble than it’s worth.
-
Dope Verses (@flyverses) reported@callmeauntie218 Been in July. Worst time to go….big crowds, 100 degree heat, the daily “3:30 thunderstorms”, etc. That said, Disney is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
-
BongoFett (@bongo_fett) reported@ThomasConnorsJr Now do Star Wars movies that have been announced and in development! lol Disney is broken
-
Yancy, Part II (@yancypart2) reported@bbGOJII @jessiechrxst Disney is known for working on action set pieces before they have a script or director. They give little direction to CGI artists who have to keep redoing work whenever a producer has a new idea. Many insiders have said that scripts finalized on set during filming.

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedMarvel is releasing exactly one movie in theaters in 2027. The studio that once announced ten projects a year now has a slate so thin that its biggest 2028 bet came from an actor who walked in and pitched it himself. Here's what actually happened. Gosling has wanted Ghost Rider for years. While shooting Star Wars: Starfighter last year, he started pitching Shawn Levy on his vision for the character, built on specific comic runs he'd already picked out. Levy signed on, they took the package to Feige together, and Marvel bought it. Look at what landed on Feige's desk. A star coming off Barbie's $1.45B. A director coming off Deadpool & Wolverine's $1.34B. Jonathan Tropper, the writer who already works with both, attached before Marvel heard a word. Zero development risk. The movie arrived pre-assembled. Disney has now handed the same three-man unit its two crown-jewel IPs back to back. The next Star Wars movie and a 2028 Marvel tentpole, same three names. The timing explains the yes. After the 2023-24 slump, Bob Iger publicly blamed diluted focus from making too much. Feige's fix was cutting output and demanding a driving creative vision for every project. When your strategy is fewer, better movies, a pre-built package skips two years of development hell. And Ghost Rider was sitting right there. Nic Cage's two movies did about $360M combined on mid-budget spends. The rights reverted to Marvel in 2013, and the character never got a film in 13 years until an actor showed up carrying the reason. Stars used to audition for Marvel and sign nine-picture contracts on the studio's terms. The price of Gosling in 2026 is letting him bring the director, the writer, and the comics.

Gargus (@Gargux) reported@catturd2 They didn't have a problem with the marvel, disney and fox merger because they made millions off starring in those movies after the mergers.

GMartin (@DDC4America) reported@yoxics Neither Kai or Tyla knew anything about DISNEY! And Disney was no help with this Fact, Why would they not take them to Haunted Mansion? Tron? Space Mountain? The "Be Our Guest" Restaurant? (ate hotdogs on the floor!) Never used the backstage pathways or Underground tunnels! WHY?
