This is rad news. Maybe now I can get a job back at consumer products.

Plus, Disney didn't acquire Miramax until 1993, and Pulp Fiction was released in 1994, meaning it was likely done or close to it before Mickey had a chance to fuck it up.

Touchstone Pictures is also Disney. Remember Down and Out in Beverly Hills or Ruthless People? I can name more from Touchstone, but not everything Disney touches turns to G Rated fare.

Likewise, I'm willing to bet any future Marvel movies Disney produces will be under the Touchstone banner.

**Advocate** · 31 Aug 2009, 02:35 PM

Or the Miramax banner, since the Weinsteins took Dimension Films when their contract was up.

Now I'll feel better for not buying their comics.

Well unless youre talking movies only, which you said wasnt the case, youre not looking hard enough. Comic-wise Marvel has been pretty awesome in the past 6-7 years on certain titles/runs. Im really hoping this news wont mess with that end of it. The movies I can care less about. Game-wise, NeoGaf is already talking about Kingdomhearts w/ marvel characters. My god...
