wow yeah well okay Joe Biden how was that for you do you think it would be funny if like we just all JD Vance did for the rest of his term was go to different places in the world and fuck things up by like trying to like do the opposite

No, I don't mean wars and stuff.

I mean like the Cannes Film Festival.

Oh.

Where he like came up on stage and did a talk and he's like, here's the reason why.

Yeah.

Well, isn't that because it's cheaper to shoot there than it is to shoot in the City of Angels here?

There's been a lot of really interesting stuff on the trades this week about like, because I think a lot of the producers who are at CinemaCon have been asked about like, are you going to do anything to save Los Angeles?

And I don't know why I've been thinking about this much because maybe it has something to do with like this whole Arclight protest that turned into a potential lawsuit that, you know, is now kind of everybody's throwing their hands up and it's just been like, looks like that's just going to, that landmark to cinema will just stand.

Yeah.

But there's also been a lot of talk about, because I think some of the networks are in pilot season, weirdly.

They are, yeah.

Like, are you going to shoot this here?

Are you going to shoot this in L.A.?

Will you use the studios?

And a lot of noncommittal, like, well, we need a federal tax break and we need, you know, rebates on above-the-line talent.

And I just don't know what happened to the game I loved.

You know, like...

I don't know how they fucked this up so much that they're like, well, we can't make it unless you guys pay for Johnny Galicki to be in the show, you know?

That's his name, right?
