      Honestly that wouldn’t fucking surprise me at this point.

      Taking bets how long until we get a “USA version” of movies like they do in China.

        You already do. It’s a defoult one. You don’t need edits in postproduction. Self-ceneorship occurese before even the first scene is shot.

        Obvious example would be the assistance of the US army in making a movie, if the script was approved by Pentagon. But I bet you wouldn’t have to look far for more.

          I’ll admit that, much as you’re right, it takes even me (not American, painfully aware and annoyed by US propaganda) seeing it in the context of something else for it to be weird.

          Like, nothing worse in The Wandering Earth or the Three Body Problem than in, say, Transformers, but it jumps at me more, which is messed up, because it means that it works even when you know it’s there.

          Right, cause every movie is filmed in America…

          “Foreign Films” as the Americans put it are far more interesting than the mainstream slop the US shits out.

            I love a lot of films from outside the US but this comment is a weird and largely inaccurate generalization

              Cute that you felt the need to defend one of the biggest pedo industries next to religion.

              Oh no a hyperbolic comment on the putrid slop being drizzled out from Americas creative cloaca, better pull myself up by my bootstraps and defend this toxic industry.

                  Look at that gleaming gem of creativity shat out by the American. Such an original thought. That must have taken a whole writing team and bags of coke to get that masterpiece done.

                  Bet you’re the type of that says Jesus Christ unironically. 😂

                  Blocking your lukewarm bowl of porridge now 😘

            The Taxi movie in France was awesome. The Taxi movie remake in USA was awful. A bigger budget and star power definitely doesn’t translate to better movies.
