      Thanks, I didn’t get the meme either.

      As @PunnyName said, you can’t even define that unambiguously. Basically every movie is made in many places across the world.

      It hurts when a normal person spouts dumb shit with conviction, but when the US government does it…

        Virtually every single film that comes from Hollywood has international components: from filming locations, to physical address, to CGI production.

        This affects the entire industry.

          But does so much stuff even come (or ultimately become finalized) in (greater) Hollywood anymore? It seems in recent years I’m reading Georgia (US state) or Canada or some such far more often than (one of the big Hollywood companies).

          Can’t someone make a stupid (and clearly declared) joke without people lecturing them about obvious stuff? 😫

            All 5 of them? /j

            It’s a joke, we get it. But it still means: “not so many - just more than 5, that’s why I added the /j”.

            We know exactly what you meant: that most entertainment comes from the US. Esp. all us (slightly older) non-Americans feel it. But this trend has been in decline in recent years/decades. You made an outdated joke.

            Poe’s Law is that you can’t be sarcastic or over-the-top on the internet without clearly signaling because there’s no opinion so stupid it doesn’t have adherents.

                    This reminds me of something Gail Collins wrote.

                    She said she went to the store to buy salad dressing, and it ended up taking her twenty minutes to choose one bottle from an aisle full of different brands.

                    When she got home she realized that she could have made salad dressing at home in five minutes.

                    When shortcuts take longer than the thing they are supposed to replace, they become useless.

        American exceptionalism. Why don’t you go back to your lack of healthcare and school shootings by obese uneducated fascists, you undereducated fuck?

          Homie, it was a joke on how much Hollywood has flooded the international movie scene. I don’t get how you even get any american exceptionalism from my comment (also, I’m from Europe).
