What Has Happened to the Film Industry?
My grandma took me to my first movie when I was about five years old. I think it was Beauty and the Beast. I was ecstatic.

It’s weird to say, but I can perfectly quote most movies I’ve seen. Not just the lines, but I can do it down to what accents are being used. I don’t understand it, but it makes people laugh. I’ve watched how types of movies have changed over the years. I have to say, I’m not exactly thrilled at the idea of remaking EVERY SINGLE MOVIE THAT HAS EXISTED. To be honest, most modern movies don’t interest me at all. There’s no substance to them and there’s no creativity.

Marvel and Fox: Reunited and It Feels so Good
So by now, I'm certain you have heard about the over $50 BILLION deal Disney made to acquire a rather large portion of 20th Century FOX. This obviously has huge implications. Years ago, Marvel had to sell off some of its properties to stay in business. Eventually, Disney bought Marvel. Now, Disney bought the company that bought the properties that were sold. Following this, it, essentially, makes it seem like Marvel never sold any of its properties in the first place. With all that in mind, let's take a look at what the deal means. Well, some of what it means, anyways.
