 Re: Disney buying Fox?
And Blue Sky as the third animation studio at Disney? Is it even legal?

 Re: Disney buying Fox?
Yeah same, there has to be some type of anti-Monopoly law against it. Just take Fantastic Four and be happy Disney.

 Re: Disney buying Fox?
Yeah am not sure if this is good for the movie business. Sure I like seeing Fantastic Four back at Marvel, but I rather they just only get the rights to that.

Universal should buy Paramount, Warner Bros. should buy Sony.

Paramount's market value is so low (I read something like 4-5 billion...Viacom paid 8.2 billion in 1994 dollars) that it's only a matter of time before someone snatches them up. Apple, Netflix, Amazon, etc. have that much money in their sofa cushions.

 Re: Disney buying Fox?
Yeah but you don't wish you were autistic after reading them. He could have just said 68 billion, and here is a link. I was expecting what Fox properties had to offer, and then I got ads for Viagra, Worst SW deaths, and Kim Kardashian just woke and said "THIS"

I should know better
Marks posts are always the equivalent of a drunk uncle you haven't seen in 5 years, and you're like "All right I'll take a chance"

 Re: Disney buying Fox?
Why is this in Cinemania? This has box office implications all over...
Think Marvel, Blue Sky, Avatar, Fox Searchlight and so on...

 Re: Disney buying Fox?
Was Blue Sky mentioned in the press release? I didn’t see it and assume that means it’s fate has yet to be decided.
