    Yeah, I thought so too, but after all the fucking mergers and consolidations it's hard to remember who owns what anymore.

      Mr. Burns owns everything now. You are now his slave. You will eat bugs and love it!

        Paramount is CBS and hosts their Star Trek lineups...

          I am gross and perverted
          I'm obsessed and deranged
          I have existed for years
          But very little has changed
          I'm the tool of the Government
          And industry too
          For I am destined to rule
          And regulate you

          I may be vile and pernicious
          But you can't look away
          I make you think I'm delicious
          With the stuff that I say
          I'm the best you can get
          Have you guessed me yet?
          I'm the slime oozin' out
          From your TV set

          You will obey me while I lead you
          And eat the garbage that I feed you
          Until the day that we don't need you
          Don't go for help, no one will heed you
          Your mind is totally controlled
          It has been stuffed into my mold
          And you will do as you are told
          Until the rights to you are sold

          That's right, folks
          Don't touch that dial

          Well, I am the slime from your video
          Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
          I am the slime from your video
          Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
          I am the slime from your video
          Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
          I am the slime from your video
          Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
          No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

            That's another reason I don't think there will be more mergers. Every studio has their tentpole franchises and at this point it'll be tough to come up with the cash to get the companies together. Maybe Netflix gets snatched up. Hulu is already Disney/Fox with NBC Universal as minorty shareholder. WBDiscovery has said they're going more unscripted reality, they are supposedly bleeding cash.

            I keep hearing "Apple to buy Sony" rumors but on the hardware side that doesn't make sense to me.

            I only pay for Prime and Disney+. I guess I got AppleTV free with the Macbook Air I bought last month but I haven't looked at what's on there.

              The rumors about Apple I think are because they have some good stuff but not very much of it so everyone assumes they will buy some since they are richer than most countries.

              At the moment I'm paying for Netflix, NOW(HBO for the UK basically), Amazon and Apple (I think). That's $40 a month which mounts up I guess but then there are 5 of us. Anything else I steal on torrents.

              I understand that it mounts up over the year but here it's $5 for a beer in a bar and the cinema is $15 so in terms of hours of entertainment I think most of this stuff is ok value.

                I put a hurting on Amazon and the free shipping. Tires, heavy car parts...

                I watch more YouTube than anything else.
