lordnikon, in Paramount and Comcast are reportedly considering a streaming partnership

so CBS and NBC when their powers combine for ultimate shittyness

Ensign_Crab, in Paramount and Comcast are reportedly considering a streaming partnership

Paramount is desperate to enshittify.

DarkNightoftheSoul, in Hugos Apologize for 'Damage' Caused by 2023 Awards Controversy

we’re sorry 😢 we didn’t know anyone would catch us

ValueSubtracted, in Marvel Studios 'Fantastic Four' poster unveiled, main cast revealed.

This seems fine, I guess. Pascal is the only one that I recongize by name, but that means nothing.

I feel that the studios thought process for casting Pascal must have been something along the lines of “Who’s hot right now?” and “Who gives off Daddy vibes.” Don’t get me wrong I think he’s a fine actor, its just so far he’s kind of played similar roles in everything I’ve seen him in at least. I’m curious to see if he has the range.

I wonder what happened to Krasinski? I wasn’t the biggest fan of him in the role either but he seemed like a shoe-in considering he already played the character.

It was interesting, even at the time, it seemed like everyone was talking about Krasinski as a cameo, and not necessarily a long-term plan. It’s been a weird era for Marvel.

Wonder if he’ll cameo again if we get the Council of Reeds on the big screen.

discostjohn,

I completely agree. It’s a weird casting choice for sure. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is a really cool pick for Ben Grimm though

Lol. Is it gna work this time?

LibsEatPoop, in Marvel Studios 'Fantastic Four' poster unveiled, main cast revealed.

The rumors have been around for a while. Still, good to have it confirmed. Thats two potentially good movies Marvel have announced - Deadpool and F4 - back to back. Hopefully it’s a return to form. But it’s way too soon to say.

hot_guava, in DC Versus Marvel Omnibus, The Amalgam Age Omnibus coming in August

No JLA/Avengers, which is weird, but I’ll probably get them on my list. I’d like to see these published in non-omni paperback collections as well.

Is there any word on size? Some of these were published in a larger size, if I recall.

ValueSubtracted,

No details about the format yet, as near as I can tell.

CluckN, in Paramount to Lay Off 800 Staffers as CEO Unveils Broad “Streamlining Costs” Effort

Looks like Kevin Spacey having an allergic reaction to peanuts.

Fiivemacs, in BBC extends their Mastodon social media trial

Companies shouldnt be allowed on social media.

I disagree, I'm able to get world events while they are happening realtime, from both reporters and lay people, and see which way the event is being colored and manipulated by comparing the two. It's invaluable.

FTFY

TropicalDingdong, in BBC extends their Mastodon social media trial

they should come over to Lemmy.

waters fine.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

It’s an interesting idea, but I wonder if the “Twitter-like” design of Mastodon is more appealing to brands than the “Reddit-like” design of Lemmy.

AllonzeeLV, in Paramount to Lay Off 800 Staffers as CEO Unveils Broad “Streamlining Costs” Effort

He’s unveiling cruelty to his sociopathic shareholders, to their thunderous applause I’m sure.

You know, it’s like an art unveiling or a movie premiere, but for “hey shareholders, watch me hurt these people that helped us make money for years, ta da!”

SuckMyWang, (edited )

It’s also a loud statement that screams as CEO they are too dumb, scared and uncreative to figure out how to improve the business. So instead of doing any real work they’ll just do the easiest and laziest thing and order the sacking of hundreds of people via many levels of management while putting themselves in a safe zone and spending extra time on their yatchs away from normal society.

Same. Very strange.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Hmm yeah it looks like they deleted it for some reason. I’ll try to keep an eye out for whether it gets reposted.

Looks like it’s back up now, no idea what they were doing.

maegul, in In case you missed it, Brian Tatosky (Trek's VFX Supervisor) jumped into a convo on /c/StarTrek!
@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

They’re also active on mastodon. Nice to see lemmy masto interop work (for which I think we have the lemmy devs to thank).

@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

I’ve tried including tags for Mastodon user accounts here previously, but was never sure if the users were getting notifications. Nice that Brian Tatosky confirmed it and that he was able to reply directly.

jawa21, in Byron Allen Makes $30 Billion Bid For Paramount Global In Debt & Equity

He would keep the linear networks, plus Paramount+ and operate the streamer more efficiently (Good luck with that).

Good luck indeed. We’re all counting on you.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

This guy really seems to be intent on buying the parts of Paramount everyone else considers dead weight.

jawa21,

I’m hoping that maybe (just maybe) he realizes the value of adding all of Trek.

ValueSubtracted,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

I don’t know, it sounds like it might be better off in someone else’s hands…depending on the someone.

jawa21,

I have to hold out hope at this point. I refuse to make my entire personality the ownership of a peg leg and a parrot… for now.
