Hollywood is dying because they put out a crap product and the best they have these days is redoing old classics rather than making new great movies


It’s not like foreign films are superior. Most are also crap

Nuclear armed India and Pakistan are at each other’s throats and the Donald is worried about where Superman 7 is filmed?

Somebody wake me from this nightmare.

You wrote all this, and somehow still came to the conclusion that other people are the morons.

it's a good question... define "make a movie"?

- cast paying 1040 in US?
- filmed in US?
- does it matter where it was edited?
- Producer(s) US based?
- capital funding from US company?


- post-produced in US?
- distributed from the US?

These morons itt want us all to be as dumb as they are and believe the filming part is all that happens.

Will this apply to literally every movie made by Disney (Star Wars, MCU, etc.)? Because they are all made in the UK for tax credits.

Thank you ace.

Folks as JP Morgan said, there is the "good" reason and the "real" reason.

The good reason, Yeah made in America. The real reason....you bitches aint avoiding taxes anymore.

The only people outraged... and firebombing Tesla dealerships, beating up 60 year old women for driving one, and vandalizing them with Swastikas etc... are TDS liberal f@ggots like you. Talk about a cult? You TDS nerds hang on every lying, gaslighting word from you propaganda media and accept it as gospel. Eat a dick, pussy.

So, use stock footage of Mt. Everest and film somewhere not Mt. Everest. No one will know the difference. It's pretty standard Hollywood practice. Who gives a shite.

But... You libs love war now. You should be stoked on India and Pakistan. Trump has already done more in less than 4 months on the job than most Presidents in my lifetime have done in 4 years. So, cry more you fricking f@g.

At least Trump is trying to do something about the problem, as opposed to Hollywood’s approach, which is to put its head in the sand and not talk about the elephant in the room.

Hollywood is now fused with the Democrats. The same problems plague both of them. They’ve lost touch with the American people. They serve only the elites. They are living in a bubble. They can’t solve a problem they can’t even name. They have no leadership anywhere, not among the Democrats and not in Hollywood.


Just as the line in Citizen Kane goes, “You’re going to need more than one lesson. And you’re going to get more than one lesson.”
