[up] Theoretically, a movie could be made with Expy versions of Disney and Dreamworks. I can't imagine a film on the actual studios' rivalry being made, not without a bunch of lawyers looking over the filmmakers' shoulders.

Unless it was a Roger rabbit type situation involving both companies

I totally forgot Steven Spielberg is one of the founders of Dreamworks. He might be able to arrange something between both companies.

Aren't film makers free to make movies about real life people? It's not like they would need direct involvement from either party, considering how well documented this rivalry is.

More accurate to call him Carl of Swindon to be honest

Carl Benjamin (1979–), better known as Sargon of Akkad, Carl I of Swindon or The Thinkery, is a You Tube talker, failed UKIP candidate for the South West England constituency of the European Parliament, right-wing reactionary and trend setter in the exciting new scene of dairy based fashion.

Sounds wonderful already.

Wait, so how did this guy get involved with Lindsay? Doesn't he have better things to do than stalk people on Youtube? Like ruining the country or whatever he does?

Carl definitely doesn't have better things to do. He tried to go about running the UK as a UKIP candidate but hilariously failed.

So he went back to his job as a reactionary propagandist on Youtube, which involves obsessively covering the actually decent people on the platform like Ellis.

And apparently he has a fanbase, which Lindsay is too polite to call goblins, but I assume they probably are, being fans of a loser like that.

Carl's entire "business" is being a shouty creepy outrage merchant coz "the women" are doing things and that threatens his masculinity.

So obviously with Lindsay being a successful youtuber he's all over that.

Ah, that douchbag. We had a thread about him, oddly enough.

It got locked pretty quickly for reasons I'm sure you can guess.

Also, the person who set up the thread was a pretty big fan of him. They're also banned.

What a coincidence.

He probably has. It's just that even obscure people can get a platform on Youtube and have an audience.
