It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

    “Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”

    I just blacklisted Paramount in my home.

        Please for the love of Q, someone buy Star Trek from them. They ARE entertaining offers.

          And remaster DS9/Voyager/Enterprise while they’re at it.

      Right-wing “artists” make garbage anyway. You need a brain to be creative.

        Yes but it’s enjoyable if you don’t have a brain.

        I hate to say it, but even terrible people can be very talented.

          Sure, it does happen, but there’s a strong negative correlation.

          True, but usually those terrible people are sex-offenders and not fascists…. and somehow I hate that I’m making this point…

          Feels like half of the stuff I grew up listening to was made by terrible people. And then others who seemed chill turned around and said stupid shit when they got older.

      I mean, good news for A24. They’ve been dining out on whatever the bigger studios throw in the trash for over a decade now.

        I have no issues pirating Trek from shitheads like Paramount.

        a24 is one of the only studios to immediately meet the various creatives demands during the writers strike and the other strikes that happened, anything of theirs on my Plex I have a physical copy of I bought direct on their shop.

      Pretty funny that they’re forced to show South Park.
