“Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”
Feels like half of the stuff I grew up listening to was made by terrible people. And then others who seemed chill turned around and said stupid shit when they got older.
I have no issues pirating Trek from shitheads like Paramount.
a24 is one of the only studios to immediately meet the various creatives demands during the writers strike and the other strikes that happened, anything of theirs on my Plex I have a physical copy of I bought direct on their shop.
The pledge, organized by Film Workers for Palestine and published Monday, initially featured 1,200 signatories, including filmmakers and actors: Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Boots Riley, Adam McKay, Olivia Colman, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Harris Dickinson, Guy Pearce, Jonathan Glazer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, Elliot Page, Payal Kapadia, Joaquin Phoenix, and Rooney Mara.
Kind of seems like Paramount's loss. Oh well, they may not have the actors but at least they have Larry Ellison and an unwavering commitment to genocide.
It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.
It sure looks like any movies with Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo will be the only ones i go see in a theatre, and I haven't gone to a movie theatre in years. Possibly a decade or more, I can't remember the last movie I saw in an actual theatre.

I still watch it occasionally, but only because I use an account I don't pay for. But if I couldn't use that account, I simply would never subscribe to it. I was telling my wife yesterday that they hardly update with new movies worth watching. Their content alone is weak.
Consumers blacklist Paramount for anti-semitism. Because Palestinians are semites too.
(Yes I know linguistically it was originally created as a political label to prevent persecution against Jews, which means we can co-opt it as a political label to prevent persecution against Palestinians)
Larry Elison is also behind the TikTok deal that is guaranteed to never make money. 20% perpetual sales royalty to Bytedance + $14B, is $14B more right away for the same amount of profit to Bytedance in perpetuity.
The only reason TikTok was ever a "national security" concern is that it was the only media not controlled by Zionazi messaging. People were allowed to publish Israel atrocities. Most news media does not make direct money. It's owner purpose is power/control over narratives.
It was a fake concern to cover for Zionist first rule over America. There is no special "manipulation" not conducted by US social media. Sinophobia warmongering control could have opposing views that US empire would want suppressed as well, but such opposition exists on youtube.
It's obvious to people that haven't gone total global conspiracy that preventing an aggressive foreign nation from directly influencing your population is generally recommended. Plenty is fucked up enough on its own without blaming every goddamn thing on zionism.
preventing an aggressive foreign nation from directly influencing your population
You didn't mean Israel? US is completely ruled by Israel first agenda. DNC lost on purpose because Trump had most of the Zionist funding, and all oligarchy/Christofascist/media just allies with Israel first agenda to get their sliver of power. That US public aid flows circularly back into election funding is direct determination of election results. Every god damn thing is absolutely directly the result of Zionist first rule over America.
No, they are not. Some people might not care about or have any relationship to Palestine but still be against genocide on principle. It's also possible to hate Palestine or Palestinians specifically and still be against genocide. Equating pro-Palestine (or even pro-Hamas / supporting terrorism) with objecting to Israel's actions in Palestine is racist (Zionist) framing of the issue. I can't remember any other time it was framed like this- during America's invasion of Iraq in the 2000s we protestors were called "anti-war protestors" and not "pro-Iraq protestors".
It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.
