Guys, with respect, I think we're getting a little bit overexcited here.

Disney buying Fox is not a Monopoly in the filmmaking industry. They're not getting anything from this deal they already have. Disney needs a studio that can release casual films for all ages and not niche markets, Touchstone used to fill that role but hasn't made anything independently in years, The 20th Century Fox Studio is going to be it's replacement. The same paradigm applies to FX and FXX, since Disney doesn't have any cable networks to compete with Showtime or HBO.

The film industry as a whole isn't losing competition from this deal, it's more like one of the big competitors is changing to Disney from Fox. I can't speak for the future, but right now things are fine in the movie industry, Disney isn't taking over and there is no Monopoly looming due to this.
