With Disney, they already own the content they’re streaming. ANY revenue from the service is just gravy for them, they don’t need to charge an arm and a leg. And at that price, who wouldn’t subscribe?”   In The News: Ben: Alec Baldwin Joins Joaquin Phoenix ‘Joker’ Movie, Rumored to Play Thomas Wayne [Updated] HT: Amazon Might Develop Original Movies With Sony and Paramount, Amazon Streaming May Get Ads Ben: Rotten Tomatoes Adding New Voices to Tomatometer, Focusing on Inclusion and New Media Platforms HT: Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller 3D’ is Getting an IMAX Theatrical Release For the First Time Ever Ben: Wile E.
