abduleez1: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. |

Kaycee7: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. |

oyaskii: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. |

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.
