Buy European

That's bad for the film industry! I have a friend working on film industry here in Canada, and productions are dead, not much left since trade war started!

Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.

And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I'm working on a show about Muhammad Ali.... All the set dressing is American...

But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don't have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.

Trump seems like a foreign asset. The destruction of US' soft power feels exactly what a Russian asset would do.

It's incredible to see US throw away something that is not even achievable for most countries especially when soft power value seems to be increasing in the information age now.

"Why, before you know it, Americans might discover that other countries, languages, and - worst of all - cultures exist. That might make them question the rightful order, and then where will we be? They'll start asking questions like 'wait, paid vacation is a thing?' or 'what's a union?', and we can't have that. No, sir."

Because clearly the US has a trade deficit in movies and entertainment, right?

Sweden does the opposite.

The reason why there's always a Swedish actor in Nordic films is that the Swedish Film Institute gives funding to movies with Swedish actors.

It's such a silly trope by now, but at least it's the sane and successful way of doing it.

Adding a "tariff" will only result in more CGI slob. What if someone makes a movie with a story happening in Italy entirely by CGI? Would it be tariffed, and if so, what if the Italy location is actually in a galaxy far far away?

American audiences watching too many non-American movies — now that's something I really didn't have on my 2025 bingo card!

So let me guess: netflix and company are raising their prices globally soon. For reasons, right?

Can't wait to have more reasons to keep using stremio.

You know. Like how the Nazis made sure that theirs was the only propaganda that was shown to the people. Nothing is ever new. All of this has happened before. We can break the cycle any time we like, we only just never do because we all have a different understanding of when we have the pressure and the power to overthrow our tyrannical dictators. We all have different perspectives on where the groundswell is. The only way to remedy that is to go outside and talk to the groundswell in person. The revolution will not be televised.

Demonstrating once again that he has no idea how tariffs work.

Tariffs are taxes on the importation of physical goods and they’re charged at the port of entry.

Movies aren’t physical goods and they don’t go through a port of entry.

There’s literally no way to put tariffs on foreign movies but Trump is too stupid to understand that.

The closest thing they could do is charge tariffs on DVDs, and that would have zero impact on anything.

Bollywood will invest in producing their awesome movies in US, right.

The Cheeto fuckwad is still bitter that Parasite won best picture.

What a childish cunt.

From the country that had a black Captain America, an anti-fascist superhero, in theatres while it wouldn’t vote for a woman who is black.

Who fed us all those movies about fighting for freedom and didn’t even get the plot of their own movies let alone a history* documentary.

lol.
