Yet another “sweetens the bid” where they still don’t actually offer more fucking money. Y’know, how bidding usually works.

David Ellison must have a rejection kink or something…

Oh, go away, you prick. And it *still* isn’t more cash. The board need to try to remove Ellison for dereliction of duty at this point. Enough is enough. Paramount is hurting.

Paramount could buy whatever the fuck is left of Miramax, Valiant Comics and Hasbro for the I.P. and folding in Annapurna for like half the money.

Omg they’re still not taking no for an answer huh. Unbelievable. If only he’d shift this energy into improving the company he already has.

I can’t wait for the dramatized Netflix series about this behind-the-scenes drama. Please make it under the WB banner for extra spice.

I’m surprised so many on here are rooting for Netflix to win over Paramount. Aren’t we supposed to be rooting for the success of theaters? Netflix would love nothing more than to see movie theaters die out.

I just don’t want Netflix owning WB. They are extremely anti consumer and ruin everything they touch. The only good shows they had were gone before even getting a proper send off.
