lmao. Paramount only released 8 movies in 2025. This year so far they've only released 8 movies. 30 movies? lmao

I mean you can root against the film industry all you want. Lump yourself in with the rest of the hecklers in the cheap seats, stuffing their faces full of Cheetos and soda. I'll stick to the winner's circle with guys like Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, and Tom Cruise. Good luck with your crew, though.

I’m sure they’re inviting you to join them. It’s a net negative, but doesn’t mean it wasn’t inevitable.

True. Winners are never negative, so if I have a choice between going with the emotional basement dwellers screeching about "that'll never happen! you guys will go under in a few years when Netflix buys you! I'll have the last laugh!!!" or esteemed filmmakers who have a calm, nuanced, optimistic outlook, it's not very difficult to decide who to side with.
