doodledupTrump says Hollywood 'dying' orders 100% tariff on non-US movies to save it
That’s not how anything works.
Trump and (now) the film sector:
I relatively recently started watching foreign films. Fuck my new hobby, I guess.
I’m not even sure how a tariff works for most cases. I guess you could do it on DVDs that are printed abroad, but this doesn’t apply to digital goods at all, right? If Netflix licenses a foreign movie, they just pay that license fee once and stream it to anyone with a subscription. You’re never actually importing anything.
What are you watching? Any recent recommendations?
I am a basic bitch, so I’m winding through goofy comedies. I enjoyed syiff malam raya for all of the same reasons I enjoyed the original scary movie and Smoking Causes Coughing for being the right kind of flippant, even if I’m not familiar with the parables it’s based on.
'Smoking Causes Coughing' (2022) - Tortoise scene
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.
