    XiaomiFan, 27 May 2021Tom and Jerry😥Tom & Jerry is dead for years in my opinion.

    I LOVE the old ones a lot, but anything beyond 1990 is questionable, beyond 2000 even worse than trash.

      now that he owns The Apprentice, could he make a special of 🍊's outtakes?
      Or @ least let the performers out of their NDAs.

            pilarius, 27 May 2021Now give us a new Stargate series, please. :)I would wait with it for dew more years. Seems like it will take still a lot more time before all this woke on everything will pass in western media with all there tokenism and everything right now. Where best actor for the part wont get the job and best writer for the job wont get the job cause they need to present all of the mental disorder people and all the skin colors and make women be more capable over man in everything. Even in heavy lifting jobs.

              Now give us a new Stargate series, please. :)

                Umm Amazon was fooled to pay that much money for MGM.. I would have bought it for no more than 500 millions.

                              That's a lot of money per hour. I hope they are buying for studio space, and sales t cover this. If it was just steaming, per $100 spent they might only get $10, and if 100 million customers, that would be 1 billion dollars per $100. What is prime now, around $10 a month?? So, it doesn't make sense. Much of that catalogue is not going be worth much. So, I would have offered $1 billion for most of it, maybe $2 billion including a lot of more recent releases in the last 5 or 2 years, tell them go and make more, and after you have made money off of them through the regular channels, I will buy them from you (at that point they are dead cheap) and if my studios have something spectacular, we can do initial releases through your channels (the American win win situation, but maybe a bit of Chinese I'll build up my own studio in the meantime, but I'm not that mean). If they didn't buy fur organisation channels and infrastructure, they might not think they are that smart now. I don't call buying MGM's catalogue a real win, look at the titles listed above, except for Bond etc, a lot are old. Same with Disney, except they bought Marvel, etc. It's probably more a jockying for position and content lock down in the short term, to steer people to the site in the long term. So, the investment is more strategic than money. But, it's a matter of do you pay $80 a month for 4+ subscriptions, just to get what you want, where of each title was a small fee, good advertising, people will be more happy. So, there going be loosers, and bailed. Look up the saga which is Stargate, the moment view franchise. They haven't been able to complete that due to blocking control of the TV series, which fell over, and now everybody is old for any remake (that's not digital reaching etc). Big money down the drain, and potential to push the production brand forwards. You land up having to give up. I think Amazon can reliance Stargate at least, maybe re-age the SG universe and Atlantis cast for some closing movies, as well as the of final parallel universe SG movies. Stuff, like that is worth something, but then again, fir that money you could do something else on the level.

                                hmm, 27 May 2021Weird to see this in a mobile phone tech site. In past few ... moreIt's easy: Amazon is controlling a lot of commerce, a lot of the US/companies servers and now a lot of the future education of the public. And pharma
