    I do. New Line has gone from a bastion of terrible (and wonderful) horror flicks to a random period of brilliant indie-type films like American History X, Pleasantville, Hedwig and the Angry Inch all the way up through About Schmidt and Punch Drunk Love - all while making really cool movies like Rush Hour, Blow and Blade.

    They are also doing Harold and Kumar Escape from Gitmo and Shazam!. Who knows what will happen to those.

    It could be that WB gives them a ton of freedom, but I'd doubt it. It's just sad to see a production company that's brought some random movies to the screen (even under the flag of Time Warner, seriously) be sucked into WB - which already has an indie shingle - and who will be a smaller and more limited outfit.

    Fewer cool movies is a problem for me.
