"Just as long and boring as a Cena story line, it's Botchamania Blogger edition!" You won't get the joke unless you follow this one guy's videos.
Ok, so I failed to stay away from this story line of Comcast/NBC Universal. Sue me. However, Hollywood is dreading the coming storm that is Comcast. Why? Hollywood believes that Comcast will make changes in Universal's film department.
The changes won't be as bad as what Hollywood believes it to be because the current standing for Universal is weak. Weak DVD sales, stale and boring movies, Universal really isn't doing so well as it used to in the past.
The bright side that Universal isn't considering is the fact that Comcast and it's On-Demand program has allowed home entertainment to stay afloat and grow with the sheer convenience of watching a movie without leaving the house. With this in mind and DVD sales going in a downward spiral it will help Universal in the long run because Comcast helps it's partners who allow them to tap into the library and make some profit.
I'm still on the fence about this (or at least I thought I believed I was on the fence?). I just wonder what things Comcast can do for the company and what weak points they can work out that General Electric couldn't fix. So with that I am FINALLY DONE WITH THIS STORY!!!!

I can see why they would be worried about Comcast and movie ratings. In truth, they'll be lucky to get TV ratings because people can watch them on the internet. They aren't limited to the TV anymore, movies any time, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to think about this one. If it's not working out for Universal, why not try something new.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of comcast, I have been using it for two years, and have nothing but problems.
I think Comcast would be a big help to Universal. They could probably use all the help they can get at this point with the economy the way it is. I think they'll be able to make some good changes.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that Comcast was large enough for such an endeavor, but they are showing that they can do it financially. Can they do it entertainment wise? Only time can tell, but at least they are in the entertainment industry, unlike GE.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Universal make a large comeback though. Disney needs some real competition.
I think it is a good idea. Apparantely Universal hasn't been doing good lately, so why not try something new. Personally, I don't like going to the movies, I would much rather sit at home and watch a movie.
