That's exactly why it's in their interest to oppose the merger. The fewer companies that own Studios the more likely is that you'll be blacklisted or not hired for whatever Ticky tack reasons they can think of

That’s his secret. He’s always a decent person.

Well, then, Universal gets all the big stars then. Or, they start their own studio with blackjack and hookers. The studios need the talent more than the talent needs the studios, the talent needs to realize that and work together.

My personal experience going all the way back to elementary school is that there’s always somebody in the group who’s willing to fuck over everybody else for their own gain.

Given that we are talking about a group of people well known for their egos I imagine that this is a fairly uphill battle.

How do you convince the winning Monopoly players to stop playing Monopoly and move us onto another game?

A question for the ages.

You can't convince them. But they eventually get bored and move on to another game... that they pick... called Risk.

You gotta flip the board. Throw all the pieces on the floor. Ban the banker from your table. Put the houses and hotels in the microwave so they melt into an indistinguishable mass. Redefine "rent" and "ownership". Then start the game over from turn 0, and make the rules more fair in general.

But we're not ready for that yet.

So.... we'll probably never hear from him again? In 8 years, someone might say in passing, "what ever happened to mark ruffalo?"

I already liked Mark, (I just did a guilty rewatch of 13 Going on 30) but now I'm a die-hard.

Oh, look, it’s the studio system all over again.
