137 - Tariffs on Chinese Movies
from Gal Talk Hosted by Gal Talk
Oh you wanna stream a four hour movie about poverty in mainland China, directed by a brilliant fascist who's now in prison for speaking out against the security state, or dead after sixty decades of chain smoking those really long white cigarettes? Do you want to watch the Criterion edition with bonus content where the director and actors explain in subtitles what it was like working in such an intense environment, where there likely wasn't standards and practices overseeing any of the production because it was the 1970's and we hadn't even invented consent yet, let alone rules for how to treat women in film? Well too bad bucko. Daddy Trump said you gotta pay a... a tariff? On the movie? I don't know, something like that. Something bad, probably.
