They’re not trying to save hollywood, they’re trying to turn it into their twisted version of reality.
No they don’t.
They’re trying to do 2 things;
-
Massively encourage filming outside of California, particularly in Texas and georgia, and soon, Florida.
-
They want to build Alcatraz right in the sf bay as a symbol of imperial power, proof that they can act without impunity.
They want to destroy the Californian economy as hard as they can, they see California as a worse threat than foreign powers.
California gets more money from outside the US than any other state, that’s their target, at any cost.

I also see this as a move that increases U.S. isolationism. It will trigger reciprocal tariffs, and those will both bolster non-U.S. media production, but harm the U.S. film industry.
One of the U.S.’s greatest exports is its culture. Perhaps not great in a moral or any other objective measure, but the media the U.S. creates is one of its greatest sources of influence (read: soft power) in the world.
Isolating media and giving other nations room to grow is, well, fair play to them, but an unforced error. Another step in the direction of failed statehood.
I’m VERY glad they don’t have anyone as efficient as Goebbles. Or the “Ministry for Public Enlightenment” would already be in full swing making propaganda films.
They don’t want to save Hollywood, they want to control it. They can’t control it if the studios shoot their films outside of the US.
Hmmm… let’s see. Democrats are buckling, lawyers are buckling, Conservative Oligarchs own the news. I guess this is the next step. FUCKING COWARDS!! All of them
He doesn’t want to save it, he wants to use the guise of saving it to turn it into a propaganda machine that serves him.
By doing something that would do incredible harm to Hollywood.
It’s an abusive relationship. Just like last time.
“Save” it to death.
I’m OOTL. What happened?
drumpf announced tariffs on movies made in other countries
Thanks, I didn’t get the meme either.
As @PunnyName said, you can’t even define that unambiguously. Basically every movie is made in many places across the world.
It hurts when a normal person spouts dumb shit with conviction, but when the US government does it…
All 5 of them? /j
Virtually every single film that comes from Hollywood has international components: from filming locations, to physical address, to CGI production.
This affects the entire industry.
But does so much stuff even come (or ultimately become finalized) in (greater) Hollywood anymore? It seems in recent years I’m reading Georgia (US state) or Canada or some such far more often than (one of the big Hollywood companies).
Can’t someone make a stupid (and clearly declared) joke without people lecturing them about obvious stuff? 😫
All 5 of them? /j
It’s a joke, we get it. But it still means: “not so many - just more than 5, that’s why I added the /j”.
We know exactly what you meant: that most entertainment comes from the US. Esp. all us (slightly older) non-Americans feel it. But this trend has been in decline in recent years/decades. You made an outdated joke.
One person didn’t. I’m not a movie buff but I still have a feeling that HollyWood has a cultural quasi-monopoly.
Poe’s Law is that you can’t be sarcastic or over-the-top on the internet without clearly signaling because there’s no opinion so stupid it doesn’t have adherents.
That’s why I added the tone-tag
/jWelcome to the interwebs.
I’ve seen “/s” and never saw “/j” before.
American exceptionalism. Why don’t you go back to your lack of healthcare and school shootings by obese uneducated fascists, you undereducated fuck?
Homie, it was a joke on how much Hollywood has flooded the international movie scene. I don’t get how you even get any american exceptionalism from my comment (also, I’m from Europe).
517 remakes of “The Bible”.
Can’t wait for historical acurate Jesus played by an blonde man with green eyes and mid-west accent.
“Birth of a Nation”, directed by Michael Bay.
It’s going to be like covid where ppl film shows in their basement again
I feel like this is the perfect meme format for maga related dumbassery.
Wait for the twist, it will be a cliffhanger
Wonder if they’ll release all the raw footage of his shit reality show.
