Netflix Won the War After Paramount Won the Battle

 Paramount is going to buy Warner Bros.  Is that a great deal? I don't think so.  WB had lots of debt.  Now, Paramount is adding to that debt by buying WB.  They will fire duplicate service employees.  They will make fewer movies, even after promising more.  Netflix came out of it with a 2.8 billion payoff.  I do think Netflix should start moving some films to theaters.  They really need to win the trust of Hollywood.  They might think people prefer movies on a small screen.  I disagree.  If it's worth seeing on a big screen, then that is my preference.  I can not say I look forward to many Netflix movies that make.  They seem like the straight-to-video type of movies that flooded video stores.  On top of that, I hear that productions have to dumb down their storytelling to appeal to people who do not pay full attention.  If they can start going into theaters, they can win over the actors/directors who fought against them.  I think a 2 to 3 week window with wiggle room would be great.  Most movies do not last that long.  If it sells well, they can override removing it.  I always hated when we got stuck with an awful movie.  Little did I know that movie corporations would book crap and tell theaters that if they did not play it, they would not be able to play a future blockbuster that they know will sell.  

Another Day, Another War

 Trump has gotten the US into another war.  If people saw his mouth moving when he promised no new wars, then you already knew he was lying.  Now he's saying he did it because they infiltrated the 2020 election.  We all know that it is BS.  He's trying to mess with 2026, where his party should get decimated.  He's also going to make it harder for our country to be trusted.  He was close to an agreement and then bombed them.  I guess Israel didn't care and wanted him to bomb anyway.  Seems like they should pay for this war, but it will be borne by taxpayers.  Trump and his cronies will cash in.  Time to demand the Epstein Files get released.  I believe that Trump was not only a customer of Epstein's but probably a partner.  All these countries are using that information to get him to do their bidding.  Seems like a lot of politicians fall under this, also.  Both sides of the aisle.  That is why older democrats are treading carefully.
