Got reams of extra cash laying around the house with no idea how to spend it? Love genre films with a passion and want to see them get more and more love from the studio system? Or are you just looking for that perfect gift for the loved one in your life who seems to have everything? Doesn’t matter folks, ’cause I’ve got the solution for you!
As reported in that venerable swag the NY Post, Lions Gate is working closely with Citigroup to find a buyer, though there is no official relationship yet. Yikes, our Uncle with all the presents is shopping himself around. Looks like they may have some trouble for the moment, because LG is kickin’ so much ass that their stock is high, and potential suitors might not see the value.
Just as well by me. Corporations obviously get bought out all the time. But when you’ve got one like LG that has an actual genre personality, I hate to see it get bought out and our hopes become dashed on the rocks of disappointment by watered down crap some new CEO puts out thinking that horror fans will go see anything.
I believe that may be the most tortured metaphor I’ve ever written. HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
