“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.
Just like Gene Roddenberry always wanted. /s
RIP Star Trek
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.
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.
True, but usually those terrible people are sex-offenders and not fascists…. and somehow I hate that I’m making this point…
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.
What is A24?
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.
So... A safe space... 😂
Cancelled.
The pledge, organized by Film Workers for Palestine and published Monday, initially featured 1,200 signatories, including filmmakers and actors: Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Boots Riley, Adam McKay, Olivia Colman, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Harris Dickinson, Guy Pearce, Jonathan Glazer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, Elliot Page, Payal Kapadia, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rooney Mara.
Kind of seems like Paramount's loss. Oh well, they may not have the actors but at least they have Larry Ellison and an unwavering commitment to genocide.
Ironic considering Paramount was one of the largest US studios that worked with the Nazi government all the way into the mid 40s......
History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
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.
It sure looks like any movies with Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo will be the only ones i go see in a theatre, and I haven't gone to a movie theatre in years. Possibly a decade or more, I can't remember the last movie I saw in an actual theatre.
I watched Bugonia, starring Emma Stone, at the theatre last week and I would totally recommend it!
Watch Bugonia. Emma Stone's new movie.

I'm not losing any sleep on this list. I pirate all my media anyway.
still good to know what items to shit talk online though
Noooooooooo not Anchorman!
At this point, you have to be a monster to still support Israel.
Paramount, was nice while it lasted. Gone from all my smart TVs.
I still watch it occasionally, but only because I use an account I don't pay for. But if I couldn't use that account, I simply would never subscribe to it. I was telling my wife yesterday that they hardly update with new movies worth watching. Their content alone is weak.
Fuck Paramount. Pirate movies. Don't pay for them.
Well, more seas for me
Consumers blacklist Paramount for anti-semitism. Because Palestinians are semites too.
(Yes I know linguistically it was originally created as a political label to prevent persecution against Jews, which means we can co-opt it as a political label to prevent persecution against Palestinians)
Cool, a premade list of actors that I can respect and support.
CBS has a long history of copaganda.
Larry Elison is also behind the TikTok deal that is guaranteed to never make money. 20% perpetual sales royalty to Bytedance + $14B, is $14B more right away for the same amount of profit to Bytedance in perpetuity.
The only reason TikTok was ever a "national security" concern is that it was the only media not controlled by Zionazi messaging. People were allowed to publish Israel atrocities. Most news media does not make direct money. It's owner purpose is power/control over narratives.
Good thing I'm not paying for anything on their platform...
Senator McCarthy, you still underground?
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.
Sounds like a solid bonus lol
RIP Paramount
I just stopped using them, too. Not out of a moral obligation, but the person who's login I was borrowing stopped using them lol. Anything they have good that I should look for🏴☠️?
Probably the Star Treks, but anything else? Think that was the only thing I looked for last time I used them.
