Happily there are zero Paramount movies I'd want to see post Colbert..

....so boycotting Paramount/CBS will be easy.

I checked the list of movies they'll produce through 2029 on Wikipedia. They're all tripe, which is consistent with their witless executive class.

As for CBS, the only thing I ever watched there was Colbert and perhaps some sporting events.

If they run the Superbowl, the only football game I watch anyway - mostly for the commercials - I'll rewatch the Branaugh film Conspiracy instead.

Conspiracy is a film reenacting the Wansee Conference, a business like executive meeting that feels like some I've attended, wherein Reinhart Heydrich organized the Holocaust.

While on a different level than Wansee, I can imagine being a fly on the wall wherein some CBS/Paramount executives sat around discussing the destruction of CBS news and Late Night with Steven Colbert. The similarity with Wansee is involved with the group think and cowardice of any in the room who may have retained a shred of decency.

The tradition of Edward Morrow, Walter Cronkite, and yes, David Letterman and Steven Colbert is destroyed forever.

1. Paramount is rather finite. It doesn't take long to see every movie and TV show that one might find interesting.

I've been paying only $2.99/month for the top tier.

I paid full price for two months, then cancelled.

Then, two months later, they sent a coupon link to me for $2.99/month for two months (then regular price).

So, I accepted the offer, and then cancelled again after two months.

Then, about six weeks later, they sent another coupon link to me for $2.99/month for two months.

Those two months ended yesterday and, of course, I cancelled again! Let's see if they send another link to me. I'll bet they will.

Maybe it's because I started at the premium tier. Perhaps they think I'm a high roller and they want to give me comps.

I've seen everything I want. Even at $2.99, it's not worth it.

Paramount Movies are now Paracrap Movies.

And of course today he’s acting like the spoiled, ungrateful baby that he is. He can go shove his bullshit where it doesn’t shine.
