Noting that the OP indicated that investing in movies is basically not worth it, the states do have the 10th Amendment authority to tax and spend to kiss the butts of movie industry wigs.
On the other hand, the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to subsidize private movies with federal tax dollars.
So it’s ultimately up to the voters in each state to decide how they want their state’s legislators to waste their state’s tax dollars.
I’m still ticked Perry gave Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” my tax dollars to film in Texas. At least $400k was given away along with who knows how much more and whatever other perks.

This isn’t meant for you specifically, but speaking of Dems and movies - not that I mean to slight you! - but did anyone else notice Pat F’ing Leahy in the last two Dark knight films? Seemed really weird, especially with how non-liberal those films were.

Yikes! I hope not! What a dump!

That can't be true, if there is one group in America that demands to "pay their fair share" it's the big hearted people in the movie industry.

Over my dead body.
If they are to receive welfare they too better have to pee in a cup to get it.
Cut them off. End corporate welfare. No subsidies for Hollywood, car companies, unions, Big Banks, farmers, or anyone.
