[up] There is also the possibility that all the talent and creatives start ghosting WB again, as I’ve said before.

I’m PRAYING this is the case.

Remember how much the alt right was celebrating that Batgirl got zaslaved and it's what got them to think that David Zaslav is "one of the good executives". It got so bad I had to mute my messenger group chat w/ my gamer friends bec I have the bad luck to have my gamer friends be composed almost entirely of alt righters.

Bet if this movie had "woke" in it they would be celebrating this movie getting canned too.

[up]Only time we get to hang out is when they need my help w/ Elite Deep Dives in Deep Rock Galactic (they did buy the game for me for free after all) and we have an agreement not to talk about politics or anything that triggers their gamer-persecution complex or the only non-gaming thing we can talk about is Ukraine bec unlike other alt righters they're pro-Ukraine (but that comes w/ the caveat that they've deluded themselves via twitter into thinking that only leftists and tankies are on Putin's side). They've also learned not to comment negatively whenever I share them my player characters in almost every game I play (from Saints Row 3 to Fallout 4 to Street Fighter 6, etc) who are almost all nonwhite Amazonian Beauties. Recently they've moved from DRG to Valheim while I finished Mass Effect LE and Saints Row reboot while sticking to SF6 and Warframe so we haven't talked for about a month. As for physically hanging out, well we used to back in college in the early 2000s but now I live in Bacolod City to raise my godkids while some migrated to New Zealand (and complaining about Maori people on welfare) and others stayed in Manila.

Found an interesting tweet about how the shelving of this film is gonna affect crew members who are in the country on work visas:

And an interesting meme. Also from Twitter.

“I swear this movie's production is like a hope crushing machine.”

It’s making us empathise with Wile E. Coyote in a way we could have done without, isn’t it?

The villain threatening to delete the Looney Tunes out of spite.

Also, this is probably a long shot, but here’s a Go Fund Me trying to raise money to buy the movie themselves.

Come on. Be nice. People are desperate. Angry and desperate.

Joaquin Castro (The Texas congressman who spoke about WB’s treatment of this movie in the past), tweeted that he’s written to the DOJ and the FTC about this nonsense. Like how a history of zazlaving films should be considered in allowing/blocking future mergers.

It's made clear from WBD from the news that...

"It's not about the money, it's about sending a message."

If they were serious about selling the movie to their competitors, it would have already been sold. But they don't want to suffer the same humiliation that Disney got for selling Nimona to an independent studio and then that movie became a huge hit to the point of getting an Academy Award nomination over their in-studio made film.

Now imagine this. A Warner Bros movie not actually distributed by Warner Bros. Wile E. Coyote, one of the biggest stars of Looney Tunes, is making money for Warner Bros.' rivals. Money that should have been going to WBD and paying off that ludicrous debt. Suddenly, the CEO looks like a stupid fool to the investors and shareholders. They could have distributed the film and made shit tons of money for themselves. CEO gets ousted for giving away a money cow.

So in an act of selfish reassurance, it's better for them (in short term) to deny the film's release at all than to take the gamble of being proven wrong.

Of course Zaslav could have just, you know, let WB release it themselves. But, that makes too much sense.

Someone transfer that Go Fund Me money to a WB employee and you'll probably have a better chance at seeing this movie release in some form. I'm only half joking.

Yeah, the only way I can see that Go Fund Me actually working is if that money was given to someone working in the higher ups at Warner Bros, who might have control over the distribution of this film.

Someone explain this to me. Ignoring the counteroffers means that WB is just NOT going to listen to the other studios again EVEN if they offer what he wants?
