    This has nothing to do with money. This is an attempt to silence outside voices in the US who can be critical of him. It’s to control the media.

      And to just break shit. Which will ruin industries and create angry poorer people. Stir in some propaganda and boom! You got yourself a Reich.

    Does he sit on the crapper and just spitball the most asinine ideas into reality? How is he going to regulate them outside the US when most of the CGI/animation work and houses are done overseas?

      He asks, “What is the most batshit thing I could do today to destabilize this country more and rile people up?”, then does shit like this about whatever triggers him that day (or whoever he’s told to target).

    No amount of tariffs will make me interested in watching the stuff that American companies have been putting out since 2020. I’m not even looped into the movie industry enough to care which ones were foreign in the first place. Movies are entirely optional and I am totally fine just sitting them out entirely lol.

    If anything, this will simply push movie theaters even further from my realm of interest all together.

          More like one bad shit and ten different types of delicious snacks…but you’re only looking for something to eat in the toilet.

          Just because you get all your media recommendations from ads on social media doesn’t mean good films aren’t released all the damn time.

          Media from [era when I was a teenager and had a lot more time to explore different media] is objectively better than the shit they’re making today!

          I had the same feeling. It was an elitist response that did nothing to educate or inform me or anybody else lol. I don’t even care about movies that much, and that guy is expecting me to trudge through the muddy valleys and icy peaks of uptight counter-culture cinema to seek out and pull “good” movies from the depths of the unknown?

          That’s fine–ill just keep listening to my music and appreciating still art as I’ve been doing for the last 20+ years of my adult life.

    This is so dumb. It’s not cheaper to film in Canada than Georgia, is it? Many film productions are moving from California, yes…but then going to Georgia or Texas.
