L.A. filmmaking drops to record low

In terms of morals or revenues? I didn't think the former could go below zero.

During budget negotiations in November, Schwarzenegger proposed tax credits for production studios as part of an economic stimulus plan. But the state still does not have a revised budget or a tax credit for film companies.

...but they're going to push to raise taxes on all other businesses and job producing individuals. No worries; those jobs/individuals will continue to flee the state.

Let it die. If a film can’t come up with investors enough to fund a project without tax incentives, then it is probably best not made. We have far too many bad movies floating around as it is.

Interesting that the socialist Hollywood crowd is crying that their industry cannot survive without lower taxes, but I’m sure they would deny that tactic to any other industry. After all, they are “artists” and “special”.

Hollywood is a steaming trash heap. If they make one good movie a year we’re lucky.

CA: L.A. filmmaking drops to record low

That can't be right, surely. It's easy to confirm on the Web that there are dozens of films released every day.

Wait...

Yes, the film industry relocated long ago, to avoid the extreme taxes and costs of Can’taffordya.

The Brits have emerged as the new leaders and are making some great films that avoid politics, political correctness and are actually entertaining. (The Golden Compass, Lord of The Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc,,).

"L.A. filmmaking drops to record low"

They're referring to the film quality, right?

filmaking drops to a record low in L.A.?....

That’s odd. You would think all those whack left liberals would stay and pay the higher taxes and costs of doing business for the good of the economy. You mean they are only doing it for the money? What a shock!....
