Well, I’m for it. Without them, who would bring us the next gay comic book hero movie?
The Hollywood Hypocrites now film a HUGE percentage of TV and movies in Canada, to avoid US Union rules.
Why not? Every other industry gets it, especially Wall Street.
Or, they could produce movies people want to see, pay actors a reasonable fee and somehow get it into a theater for less than $14/a seat.
I mean, “The Lone Ranger”? Really?
Well then kick the Motion Picture Association of America the F out of the State. Damn bunch of communists bastar@s anyway.

what do you think I’m doing in Canada right now? To see Vancouver’s East side?
Cut taxes for everyone and call it good.
Having had my 15 minutes when I was much younger, let’s just say I’m glad I found flying more attractive than chasing minor roles. Can’t tell ya how many times I had to tell acquaintances, “No, you are not an actor, you are a dishwasher.”
And I’m alive, unlike several friends swallowed by the Hollywood “machine”.
Hollywood propagandists want the government gravy to flow more freely
Pay your fair share, Hollywood.
You are making Sharknado Part II: Sharktsunami!!!
The TV/movie unions here in canada are even more powerful than the ones in the US. It’s not entirely a union issue but it’s how much subsidies you can get from the local govt. A very good example is how “Push” was filmed entirely in HK when the cast was mostly white.
EVERY sizeable corporation in EVERY industry wants perpetual public subsidies.
Capitalism is SOOOOOO dead...
No, we will shoot that in Malibu.
The MPAA has no say whatsoever where movies are made. Pure bluff. Producers will make movies (esp. indie producers) where there are no unions and THEN look at the tax credits. The only ones who care about the tax credits are the investors, with good reasons. But MPAA? Don’t make me laugh. They can’t enforce anything.
AH Vancouver the Seattle film set—lol. Hope you’re having fun up there, It’s gorgeous and well subsidized and incentivized.
lol
Ice Road Trucker Shark Attack?
