I like that he has started doing skits again. He stopped doing them because he didn’t like to anymore. Guess that changed.
His Zaslav is far too articulate, really ruins the immersion
The thing that even I forgot about before reading some commentary is that movies cost A LOT to market. In this case about another 50% on top of Batgirl’s budget to date. Add to that that the new CEO clearly wants to take Max in a different direction and they can’t write it off for tax purposes, classic Hollywood move, if they stream it. So it kinda makes sense sadly.
I hope john oliver rips into this zaslav guy
They should just dump the work prints on DiscHBOvery+
Real talk: I know they can’t sell the movie to Amazon or Netflix, because that defeats the purpose of a tax-write off. But, honestly… ***why?*** [They’re only saving just *$20 fuckin’ million*, for crying out loud!](https://comicbook.com/dc/news/warner-bros-discovery-reportedly-saving-upwards-of-20-million-by-shelving-batgirl/) Wouldn’t it make much more sense to sell it to Netflix, Amazon, Paramount+ or even Peacock – ***ALL OF WHOM ARE INCREASINGLY DESPERATE FOR NEW ORIGINALS*** – for just as much of the budget, *if not more*? [Because if a meh Paramount action picture from Chris “He’s So Cool” Pratt can net ***$200 million*** from Amazon…](https://www.gamesradar.com/chris-pratt-sci-fi-movie-the-tomorrow-war-bought-by-amazon-prime-for-a-reported-dollar200-million/) just fucking ***imagine*** how much they would shell out for exclusivity on a brand-new DC tentpole. Whole purpose of this shit is to make as much money as possible, right?
^(And Netflix already has “Sandman,” so it ain’t like Warners hasn’t done this before.)
Reddit when CEO greenlight shitty movies: *”Omg CEO are so dumb why did they greenlight such a terrible movie”*
Reddit when CEO shutdown shitty movies: *”Omg CEO are so dumb why did they cancel a movie that could have been amazing!”*
