Published | Video Starts at 03:50

And then after the merger, that big corporation turns around and does exactly what they said they wouldn't do.

How many thousands of jobs will disappear in this merger as well? Trust that somehow this new company will make more films with less money and so much more debt. Trust competition. What we've all seen is capitulation leads to degradation. (03:50–04:00)
