    So what exactly will be tariffed? Production cost? Ticket sales?

      What’s next? Tariffs on “Thoughts and Prayers”?

        That’s the only fucking thing that southern states and conservatives could offer during school shootings. You can’t tax that!

        35 of any prayer whose subject is a foreginer must be spent praying for diaper donny.

      Trump doesn’t even know, so no one else does either. For all we know, it might mean new Criterion 4K Blu-rays would be priced at $80.

        Please no. Adding to my collection is pricey enough as-is :(

    Lucky for me I can’t even purchase movies any more, what I can purchase is a limited revocable license. Did enshitification accidentally find a tariff loop hole?

        He’s probably trying to figure out how to do that

    He’s just giving Netflix and the others an excuse to raise prices on their plans, probably globally.

      Well, yeah, production in California is an all-time low. This isn’t exactly the answer though.

        I thought most filming had moved to Atlanta though?

    I wonder how he’ll tarriff TPB? Methinks until he and Musk install the US version of the Chinese great firewall, it’ll be difficult.
