Apple is the best option. Universal would be almost perfect as I've wanted this for years.

Problem is Apple doesn't spend much money for acquisitions so it's hard to imagine them going all out and tabling over $60bn.

Universal knows how to develop IPs and use them. Also has theme park ventures they can mine from the WB IPs like Game of Thrones, DC, Looney Tunes, LOTR.
Problem is it's owner COMCAST is already a super big conglomerate and adds way more power to that already large behemoth. Comcast also has like over $100bn debt. Which complicates the matter adding WBD's $40bn debt.
Then there's the topic of whether they'll get government clearance. Also the fact that they don't get well along with Trump is another major roadblock.

So, Apple would be better. Good collabo with WB recently for F1 box office success. Apple TV+ need the content from WB and HBO with similar taste for quality without much worry for budgets and financials.
I don't think they'd want the cable or gaming divisions tho.

Skydance-Paramount is a deal I h@te so much. Paramount are effing clueless and don't know how to properly run a studio or what to do with their franchises. HBO and DC would suffer, even WB.
Skydance is still a baby in terms of media management. Funding films and TV series is quite different from owning a major studio or media company.

Apple or Universal will most likely allow WBD to run as is with very few changes.

This is a deal that would define the shape Hollywood takes for the next decade.
I thought WB were doing well financially? Aren't they the owners of successful brands like WB movies, DC comics, CNN, HBO max, and Warner Music.

Quite Baffling.

On the bold part, I couldn't agree more. The amount of miscommunication and misunderstandings that escalate to shouting exchanges, at the least, I see out here daily is crazy.
Situations that can simply be resolved by both parties actually listening to each other are instead turned into needless chest beating and threats. Imagine if they now have guns on them.

As much as America makes the case of gun rights being a foil against government tyranny, how it plays out in their society remains a very valid argument for why that system of gun ownership should not be replicated by any country looking to create a safe environment for its citizens.
Mannnn. I have studied the conflict and the psyche behind it, to always be peaceful confrontation, when that fails before full blown conflict, but in Nigeria, as with all things, it is remarkably the opposite. People here will rather soon come to fisticuffs, then a peaceful confrontation to resolve the conflict at hand.

I don't know if it's the poverty, diverse ethno religious interests or the extremely low HDI, or quite possibly the combination of all these...but our fuse is so so short, and so any law that freely out guns in the hands of any rabid on the street here shouldn't even be up for debate.

Well, doing well "financially" is kinda subjective and open to interpretation depending on your parameters.

Personally, I feel, WB is healthy enough to remain on its own but I think Wall Street power brokers wants it sold that's why they paint all sorts of gloomy picture around it. Coupled with the fact that its stock price is trading far below its initial price when Discovery bought it.

So sentiments are driven to raise the stock price to placate and reward investors. Zaslav has struggled to raise the stock value since he came in, so despite Warner Bros doing well recently at the box office and global streaming profits for 2yrs now with HBOMAX, Wall Street doesn't seem too pleased.

Thing is even the Skydance-Paramount merger that is trying to buy WBD are a smaller venture in size and scale compared to WBD.

To be very direct with your question; the real problem with WBD is it's cable and linear businesses. The TBS, TNT, Discovery Channel, CNN, Cartoon Network and the likes are a dwindling industry— driven by changing consumer habits towards streaming and on-demand platforms.
In 2022 when WB merged with Discovery the debt stood at over $50bn— it was $40bn+ pre-merger. Now the debt stands at $35bn+. While reducing, it's still considered very significant to Wall Street and the cable business continues to dwindle.
The majority of the debt comes from the failing cable and TV networks business.

Also note, that debt was the major cause of AT&T spinning off the studio to Discovery in 2022 with about over $80bn debt at the time. AT&T quickly found out how difficult the financials are and didn't know what to do with the franchises and chose to focus on it's telecommunications business. This is just after buying Warner Bros in 2018.

Streaming and studio business is doing well but the overall company's performance is being dragged down by it's cable business and hampering it's stock price. So investors are anxious about financial performance and ROI on their equity.

Based on insiders about David Zaslav's management style, many have suggested since Discovery took over WB that it would be up for sale in 3yrs time. People said he wasn't a keeper and a sale was always on the table as soon as regulators gave the okay. 3yrs is the minimum time for another sale or major merger to take place after a new deal. And that time is now.

WBD was trading at $24 per stock in 2022 when the merger closed. Fast forward to early 2025, the stock price was trading as low as less than $10 per stock. Disastrous share price performance! It was only in recent weeks when news broke that Skydance was trying to buy all or part of WBD after successfully buying Paramount with Donald Trump's help, that was when WBD stock price began to pick up and now it's at about $21.

So, to me, the crux of the matter has been earnings per share... even significantly more important to shareholders than the overall debt cos there's no Hollywood studio who isn't neck deep in debt — even the Universal and Disney all have massive debts.

Whether this deal goes through or not, WBD plans to spin off the cable business from Streaming and Studios to create a separate entity, which will hold onto the majority of the debt and enable the streaming and studios division to not be overly affected by cable underperformances. In essence, this is to bolster the stock price of the profitable parts of the business and debt reduction.

WB is a very valuable company with it's IPs and treasure trove highly sought after but the cable businesses will always deter potential buyers. Unless the company probably accepts being bought in bits and pieces unlike the whole bunch.

NB: Warner Music Group isn't a part of WBD as it is today. The company was sold off decades ago in 2004. It still uses Warner's name and the rights to WBD library but it is a separate entity.

Malena, released in the year 2000 is a solid 7/10 for me.

If this movie was made in 2025 with a well known famous actress like Stephanie Johansson or Jessica Alba etc
It is going to cause a controversy that will set internet on fire and might even get some countries banning the movie, at the same time it might break streaming and box office record.

Maybe the age of consent in Italy is 15 but in the movie, The male lead who was 15 at the time of the shoot played a young 13 years old kid sexually obsessing over an adult widow.
Infact the whole town was obsessed with her with 99% of all the men wanting to fuuucck this beautiful widow.
Set in a war times during the world war.

The widow who is the ever beautiful Monica Bellucci emptied her entire body in this movie.
The nude scenes, the sex scenes, fuuucking the 13 years old kid, so many vaginaaaaa scenes for this 13 years old boy.
Damm!!!! The controversy this movie would have brought if it was made now would have been epic.

Anyways Monica Bellucci in her Young age was one of the most beautiful women in the whole world.
where can I download this please

How has the horror genre been for you this year??

I can't authoritatively speak much on this cos I haven't watched a good number of horror films from this year but I must say, I don't think this year is touching last year's GENERATIONAL RUN.

Asides WEAPONS, BRING HER BACK and SINNERS, that have been really good this year, I haven't heard many difference makers from horror so far this year.
Hoping this changes with Frankenstein and The Black Phone 2.

The Wild Robot

This movie has been reviewed here before, but I had to drop one too

This one made me teary eyed and that's no mean feat...I genuinely couldn't before watching it, remember the last time I was that emotional watching a movie

The only way I can describe it, is that it's deeply moving. I can't use other adjectives to describe it because it goes straight for your heart and pierces it

It's one of those I won't be deleting anytime soon

9/10 easy

The Exorcist (1973)......7/10

Not as scary as everyone has been parroting for years. Couldn't find any part of it scary at all. Almost a snooze fest with the first 50 minutes making me fight closing my eyes. Quite shocking for a horror flick.

Overall, it's good but I very much question why some peeps rank this film amongst the scariest horror films ever. No single scare for me. Probably even funny.

I don’t even know who sent me to download this movie.

This is the most horrible and most horrifying movie I have ever watched in my entire existence.

Why won’t I download these sort of movies when Hollywood is no longer making captivating action & adventure movies?

Even the “House of Dynamite” that I was waiting for barely made me happy. I was expecting to see Chicago up in nuclear flames with mad VFX but they were just whining me and expecting me to fill in the blanks.

How will I even sleep tonight without having flashbacks from this movie?

To be honest, THIS FILM SWEET DIE! because it teaches a lot of lessons but the horror is just too much for me to bear.

I was just shouting and cringing and irritated. But that lady (Margaret Qualley) is damn too beautiful and inviting.

I don’t even know whether to delete the movie or keep it.

The Substance - 2024

I rate this movie 9/10 but I’m not sure I will watch it again.
