What do you mean exactly? The majority of Hollywood movies are not actually filmed in Hollywood anymore.
I think he means piracy
Like anybody is going to pirate now just because of tariffs. Most people don't even know how to do that.
Doesn't everyone already pirate, except some rich people...
Ony of my friends and myself are the only people that have pirated at least once in their life. None of my other friends have considered it or know how to do it.
Pirates live in a bubble and think everyone will just pirate as protest when they don't like something. In reality, nobody cares. Nobody cares about piracy nor pirates.
You must live in the US. Most people in the world pirate. Or buy pirated content from other pirates for pennies.
Wow. "You must live in the US". I don't live there. You're so incredibly naive and racist. Country of origin wasn't even under discussion. I don't even know what to respond to that.
The US is the only country I know of that gives a shit about copyright laws. In Europe you might get an email from your ISP of they see you pirate, but its sent from bullshit company contracted from the US. You can just ignore them.
The only place I know of where you can't openly buy pirated movies from street vendors is the US. Its normal in most of the world.
I think you're mostly right but it could potentially price out some people who prefer to watch movies legitimately but are familiar with piracy. It's really not that hard to pirate after all. You can basically just Google it.
Arr, rightee maitee
Dumbass is going to open the floodgates for service tariffs now, which will REALLY fuck the US economy when foreign companies stop using US firms.
In the future scripts have to be approved by the Department of ~~Propaganda~~ Education and Cultur.
Department of Enlightenment
When we gonna tell him that even US made movies are foreign movies since Hollywood outsources all CGI overseas and the majority of movies are just CGI films.
Slight tangent, sad seeing the CGI artists for the Life of Pi movie going bankrupt while simultaneously winning an Oscar for the work.
Plus movies are shot on location. Guess movies like Mission Impossible will take place in bumfuck Kansas in the future.
I doubt very seriously he even knows what CGI stands for so he'd probably just look at you with that stupid fucking look he always has on his face and call you a nasty person.
call you a nasty person.
You fake news bitch!
Lol, this muthafucka is outta his mind
Or game developers being shut down immediately following a successful release. :( Looking at you Tango Gameworks.
Oh no! Anyway
do music next! 100% tax on everything except good old ima cowboy and just fucked my cousin songs
Guys who sing My Dog Run Away and Flag/Truck/Beer songs are feeling forgotten and left behind right now
The US has great artists wtf
I was under the assumption that the OP was saying all "cool" artists are anti trump and the "fucked my cousin" singers are MAGA, which, I hardly believe to be true. Regardless, OP doesn't seem too bright.
for know, until „the homegrown“ foreigners are gonna get deported
"This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
I always suspected that the Benny Hill Show was a vicious propaganda.
Let's try to make under-educated Americans even more under-educated. From now on, Fast and furious movies will be mandatory every morning at school. Afternoon will be dedicated to patriotism: shooting eagles from a motorcycle, intimating fast-food workers, checking women's bathroom for trans people, something about black people existing, etc. Finally, everyone in line to kiss the ass of the golden statue of trump before dinner at MacDonald's.
The past 3 films in the franchise have been made in Britain
So... Tariffs then? Stupid foreign movies trying to kill Hollywood.
How do you even...? Like on movie tickets?
Opportunity cost. Time cost. Emotional tax. It's all going up across the board.
