I'm sure both Goose and Geese are good bands but when I saw them on a bunch of people's Spotify wrapped I couldn't help but imagine them having listened to goose noises all year.

To sum up:
1. This will not "save" WB as a theatrical entity.
2. This would amount to handing over two studios to a right-wing tech billionaire.
3. The argument that this won't monopolize market share is true only bc Paramount does so badly it has no market share! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/b...

I love how Netflix calls scaling back having Warner Bros. films in theaters a "consumer friendly" move as if it isn't just their excuse of forcing everyone to have an expensive subscription to engage with the media they like which will continue to have price hikes until the sun explodes.

Warner Bros. putting itself up for sale has nothing to do with a bad market, it's the result of wanting to recoup from their idiotic Discovery merger and nothing more. If anything it just proves that they don't care about the media they distribute and those who create it unless they make a profit.
