    Even Russia is somehow managing to flood the streaming services with feature-length slop and series, while waging a war of attrition. The US is already not making all “THE movies”, its just making so many that its all a lot of the English-speaking world gets to see.

    Every-other(like more than 50%, or maybe I meant EVERY) country in the Americas, Asia, Europe, the middle-east and maybe-even-Africa(I would bet I and others are mostly just ignorant of African media) seems to have the capability, if not the extensive existing library and ongoing volume, already, to fill the gap should the US film-industry fall from prominence.

    The world doesn’t, AT-ALL, rely on the US for the hardware to enable movie-making or the creativity to keep it going - the US is just the loudest and the current destination for the world’s talent. That should definitely change.

    I’ve been watching a lot of Japanese films lately. I got this Taiwanese film on DVD at a thrift store I’m excited to watch.
