Topic: Trump considering 100% tariffs on movies not made in the US

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr7e2z1rxyo

This is not good. I've been on a steady diet of CDrama, and some of my top shows are British, like "Death in Paradise" even "Slow Horses".

edit - Well, it says movies. It may not mean programs with episodes.

Re: Trump considering 100% tariffs on movies not made in the US

If you want to film on location, it is very likely that some pieces of movies or tv shows are shot outside of the U.S.

This here is a german homepage that lists where movies and tv shows were shot either by film / show name or country (link is to countries)
https://www.filmtourismus.de/drehorte/

Here some examples:
The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Rings of Power - New Zealand
Game of Thrones - Malta, Gozo, Ireland, etc.
House of the Dragon - Britain, Spain
Star Wars - Italy, Spain, Norway, etc.

Just imagine all those movies and shows were only filmed with American scenery...

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

I am not sure he knows either.

He "announced" that he wanted to reopen the Alcatraz prison hours after watching the film "The Rock" on TV.   He is his own kind of stupid.

DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

At least he admits that Hollywood is propaganda.

IIRC, he wants to christianize Hollywood. I can't remember where I read this (pre-election, though), but this seems like a possible first step: find a way to shut them down without actually shutting them down.

Your comment reminded me of a YT video titled "Why sci-fi alien planets all look the same", by Tom Scott.

I read he thought the idea of sharks in the water was a good deterrent to escaping

It might've been Escape from Alcatraz - if we can believe a talk show hosts monologue. (Colbert maybe?)

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.
