re: Warner Bros/PAramount
In all this debacle, no one has mentioned the historic legacy of these two studios. I am concerned that the "renaming" will physically affect the two sites — erasure of the water tower signage at WB and the iconic Paramount gate signage examples
Years ago, we lost swaths of historic backlots of 20th Century studios and MGM studios and no-one cared ( well, I did, but you know what I mean )
Warner Bros, Universal, Paramount, etc are pieces of the legacy of America and should be protected. For over 100 years, movies and music have been the greatest exports the United States ever had. The movies and music of WW2 were integral to the defeat of nazi Germany.
Are/can these studios be designated as national historic legacy sites to protect them in some way from erasure by over zealous billionaires? What about state and county designations?
Warner Bros alone, despite MGM's golden reputation, is historically the most significant movie studio of all
I could go on, but putting this out there because I am very worried
EDIT: Destruction is a real worry - Just recently, WB decimated is satellite lot THE RANCH and we lost a lot of iconic viable structures
