@stunningham: No, we're really not, the model may be somewhat comparable if you squint real tight, but the content is far and away superior to anything cable ever offered.
Given that Hulu can't figure out that the devices within my own home are all connecting thru the same internet, I don't have much hope for this, bastards won't be happy until folks are paying per device.
I thought Ghostwire Tokyo and Hi-Fi Rush were successes, seems odd to shut that studio down, unless they are cannibalizing the top talent into their other studios. Red Fall, on the other hand, was a disaster, I'm honestly surprised they made it thru the previous round of cuts.
It was because the Chronicles of Riddick theatrical cut was so awful that it "slowed down considerably." Seriously, the theatrical release was an absolute mess of a movie, just straight garbage, and yet there's the director's cut (extended cut? I dunno) that was one of the best sci-fi movies of the 2000s. Let's hope we get Twohy's vision for the mass release this time and not the studio's idea of what we might want.
I couldn't care less if TikTok comes or goes, if it goes something will fill the void and I say that as someone who has had the app since it was just people dancing or lip-syncing in cosplay. It's just an app, and it's a far cry from what it was that led to its popularity. However, what I do not like is the broader implications here. It's one thing for the FTC to step in and say a company can't do business here, it's quite another for Congress to write a law forcing a company to sell to an American company (and let's face it, of the handful that can afford it, no one will be happy to have them in charge). Who is to say they won't do the same to other companies? And who believes decisions will actually be above board and decided solely on national security implications? It's a slippery slope that won't stop with TikTok.
