Let Newsom deal with it
Hollywood is like Universities ... why should tax payers be on the hook to support them?
Your thoughts?

Hollyweird’s high water mark was 2018, with $11,892,160,011 in domestic box office.
After the pandemic drop, it hasn’t fully recovered. Domestic box office last year was $8,570,012,657.
Maybe calling your customers racists, Nazis, misogynists, and every other name in the book was a Bad Idea.
What a stupid headline.
But you can have my answer now. I couldn’t care less about Hollywood, and President Trump has more important things to worry about.
Attempting to give a hairless rat’s patoot ... attempting ...
Unable to give a patoot
Nope.
It can crash and burn.
Hollywood has had its heyday and outlived its usefulness.
I certainly don’t care
Spring Harvey Weinstein out of prison and put him back at the helm of Miramax.
He might've been a lecherous skeevy Jew but when he was running things, we had hot actresses and great films!
Now we've got a bunch of Longhouse Karens running the studios. All of the actresses are fugly gendergoblins and all of the movies are unwatchable woke struggle sessions.
Jon, I don’t care about Hollywood.
Thanks for posting this highly important issue at Hollywood.
Maybe Hollywood should produce new movies instead of remakes.
So we’re going to be paying for more Trump and MAGA bashing democrat made movies?
Count me out.
Release the Epstein list, purge and arrest the pervs and pedos. Only then can anyone start talking about any tax breaks.
Tax incentives? No. I cannot see the average tax payer footing the bill for woke, homosexual and communist plagued movies. Or those with nothing but wall to wall violence and use of the F word.
Bring back movies characteristic of the 30’s to mid 60’s, then maybe it will be worth it. But those running Hollywood would never tolerate it.
I know Jon. Had a great dinner with him a few years ago where, yes, he asked for script ideas about a screenplay about colleges.
Hollywood has several problems, many of them resistant to being fixed by just one or two well-meaning people.
*The woke is still strong there, despite a few studios acknowledging that it is killing their box office. Rather than remove woke, I’ve noticed this pattern: in streamers for the first 2-3 episodes-—or even the first season-—they will be plain old entertainment-driven with no woke. (Think “Mandalorean” season 1-2). Then, confident they have an audience no matter what, they begin to homo/transoid it up. (Season 3 was horrible). Other series still ignore the massive backlash and Lesbo up a series in the first 30 minutes (”Tracker”).
*A recent study found that nearly 80% (!!!) of all “new” movies are either spinoffs, remakes, or “universe” expansions. There is NOTHING original, even if you can get past the woke.
(Look at the success of “Minecraft,” based on a popular game, that has already grossed $850 million vs “Captain African American: Brave New World” which, last I looked, was around $415 million (or a $200-300 million LOSS).
*Length: every single movie now is over 2hrs, many close to 3. That’s not an afternoon or evening, that’s a near day long commitment if you have to drive.
*Villains: right now, there are only a couple of acceptable villains: Russkies or white American anti-climate men. This makes it really, really hard to tell a truly diverse story, let alone one that identifies the world’s worst satanic forces of China, Islam, and African chowdermissiles.
*Cost: making a first rate drama is pretty much going to cost at leat $30 million; an action flick with even moderat SF, at least $50 m. That means that to recoup investors’ money, a film needs to pull in at least $75m (more like $80) for the former and $160-170m for the latter. With movies like “Captain African American,” you’re looking at nearly $900 m to break even.
*Marketing is diffuse and watered down. There have been movies I would go to that I didn’t even know were out yet. In fact, I may go see “The Amateur” today. Breaking through the noise is extremely difficult.
