Yeah Netflix paid a fortune for them...because Netflix burns through money like a NASCAR driver burns through fuel.

Nah I just think Netflix is unsustainable. They are so worried about all of the other streaming services controlling all of the content (like Disney+, HBO Max...etc) that they are overpaying to have content. They green light pretty much everything n o matter the cost and basically bank on people either being too lazy to cancel or the stock price keeping them afloat.Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View Post"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

I got the impression that the tidal wave of crap we see on Netflix is in the can before those guys even approach them. They give them an outlet, but they don't actually put any money into it. I know they themselves actually also try to produce stuff, and some of it is pricey, but it isn't like the 300 movies that come out a month are them. They're like Dump: they just throw their name on it.Originally posted by Handyman View PostCornell University

Netflix has huge stockpiles of foreign stuff, too; they're leaning hard into the K-pop stuff. My wife watches a ton of Korean shows on there, which at the least are original and not Disney superheros part 25 or other Hollywood mega sequel.Originally posted by Handyman View PostComment

Yeah but Amazon is not Netflix. They have revenue streams that can fund that without blinking. Prime Video could lose money every year and it wouldn't matter one bit to Amazon's bottom line. The money they make off their Cloud service alone is out of this world ridiculous. It is why Bezos is a POS for how he treats his employees.Originally posted by St. Clown View Post
Netflix can't be like that unless they keep offering more stock and the price holds. (or they up their plans again) It is why I still maintain a major studio will buy out Netflix in the next five years. Universal Studios could use Netflix as a loss leader as could Paramount.
There is a reason Netflix offered so much trying to keep Friends on the platform. They need stuff like that to keep people coming back for more. The problem they have is Di$ney/WB...etc. want the same thing for their services and they own the content. They can make Netflix pay high premiums to show it or just keep it themselves to bolster their numbers. Netflix's only collateral is their customer base and if there is nothing to watch that goes away fast as options are out there."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Amazon would drop its Prime Video if they don’t deem it viable. Bezos wants his company to become a sort of modernized Sears from the early 20th century, but he won’t hemorrhage large sums of cash just to say he’s in the streaming video game. He has to see it as a potential profit maker down the road. He’s shown a willingness to take mid-term losses for potential long-term profits, but $465 million is a huge number for a single season."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

If film noir(most around here: what's that?!)is your cup of tea check out Noir Alley on TCM at midnight on Sat and replayed at 10am on Sun. Hosted by Eddie Muller he delves into the story, the players and the people behind the camera before and after the movie.
