Agree 100%. If you love movies, or HBO, this is the best choice of the three they had. Now we see if Netflix can be a responsible steward of that incredible legacy and film library.
I think the Netflix deal is ultimately better for movies and for WB than a Paramount deal (which I 100% believe would end WB) or a Comcast deal (which would take the two best-functioning studios in Hollywood and reduce them to one). I'm open to arguments, but "None of the above" isn't one.

Trip Thru The Collection Day 85: Commodores, Heroes. At times, Lionel Ritchie & Co were more like EW&F: funkier, heavier in the mix, and prone to extended riffing. Far from the pop balladry they eventually embraced. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl

Trump is an infant and a hypersentive one, but the danger he poses isn't worthy of the metaphor. If he's a baby, he's creating adult problems. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
The President Who Never Grew Up
Instead of focusing on governing, Trump spends his days chasing entertainment, attention and renovation projects that reflect a presidency stuck in adolescence.

Trip Thru The Collection Day 84: John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman. This extraordinary disc makes the #Top25List for sure. Rare in its restraint, vulnerable and powerful. The definitive "Lush Life" (I said what I said). #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl

Trip Thru The Collection Day 83: Natalie Cole, Everlasting. Dad yesterday. Daughter today. She's a great vocalist. Bought this in a dollar bin, mostly for her cover of Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac" which is awful but hilariously camp. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

"Yet Gen X isn’t just a time period; it’s also, as Rushkoff writes in “The GenX Reader,” “a culture, a demographic, an outlook, a style, an economy, a scene, a political ideology, an aesthetic, an age, a decade and a literature.” It’s a moment, a mood, an ethos and an enduring way of being (Cont'd)

Trip Thru The Collection Day 82: Nat King Cole, The Christmas Song. I deeply and unironically love vintage Christmas tunes, but am VERY picky about Xmas albums. I only own a few, and this one is the one I put up the tree with. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

Today, I remember my loved ones who have been lost...too many to count, at this point. But joyfully I celebrate my loves who are here and thriving. Charity Navigator has vetted this list, if you want to give to those who need it. www.charitynavigator.org/discover-cha... #HIV #WorldAIDSDay

Trip Thru The Collection Day 81: Leonard Cohen, Thanks For The Dance. His posthumous release has fantastic collabs with Beck and more, but it's his command of his art form -- "Happens To The Heart" is a fave -- that really stand out. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyl

Trip Thru The Collection Day 81: Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man. Cohen is my husband's favorite artist, and I've grown into a deep appreciation for the man and his music. This move towards synthesizers fascinates me. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylsky #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinyloftheday #vinyl

Don't joke about this @katiephang.bsky.social. We are watching a mentally feeble man, who is incredibly sensitive about his own decline, attack another man about the same thing. You don't need to be Freud to figure this out. Empowering someone this weak is dangerous to the nation's functioning.
They apparently forgot to put the crazy uncle back into the basement after Thanksgiving

World AIDS Day was cofounded by an American journalist--James Bunn, a San Francisco reporter who was the first person at a local TV station to make the AIDS crisis his beat, in 1983. An administration that did not loathe the press, history, and knowledge itself might have considered honoring that.
