Unfortuntely this probably would not see the return of the Fox fanfare
opening to the Star Wars movies ...


21st Century Fox Shares Soar on Report of Disney Sale Talks
-----------------------------------------------------------
Shares in 21st Century Fox spiked in midday trading Monday
following a market-rattling report from CNBC that the Murdochs
have held talks in recent weeks to sell a large portion of
their media conglomerate to Disney.

CNBC's David Faber reported that the sale talks have centered
around the 20th Century Fox movie and TV production operations,
the FX Networks and National Geographic TV cable groups as well
as Fox's enormous portfolio of international channels.

The age and era of movie business is over now that internet is
widespread, that everyone can produce videos via YouTube, Facebook and
WhatsApp!

I wonder what would have happened if Mr. Steven Spielburg was born
now.... :)

If Steven Spielberg was born /now/ then we would not have had Jaws,
Indiana Jones, ET, Jurassic Park, Tintin, ... ;-)

He maybe a happy YouTuber producing exciting short movies, getting some
pocket money via donation! Think about it: those big titles are just
stitching of action cut-scenes! Their plots are not thick. :)

Boring film. Why should the world be bothered with Jews business?
Because the Jews have assassins and terrorists worldwide?
