For a while now. More Hollywood movies are made in London than Los Angeles, and NZ and Central Europe have cashed in too.
The past decade of Hollywood films costing $250m+, by main production country:
UK: Star Wars VII, VIII, IX, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, Fast X, Avengers Ultron, Dr Strange Multiverse, Ant Man Quantumania, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Marvels, Justice League, MI: Dead Reckoning, Solo, Snow White, Jurassic World Dominion, Eternals, No Time to Die, Gladiator 2, Beauty and the Beast
US: Avengers Endgame, Avengers Infinity War, The Electric State, Batman v Superman, Furious 7, Fate of the Furious, The Lion King, Black Panther 2, Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Note that none of the US-based productions listed were based in Los Angeles.
So still costing hundreds of millions, and not broadcasting audio, just the trigger signal? Sounds like an even more colossal waste of resources.
The vast majority of people have switched to smart meters without issue. For those where there are technical barriers, some sort of fallback should be provided. But the stubborn and bloody-minded should be left to it.
Their personas and performances are definitely tongue-in-cheek. No-one (not already on a watchlist) who attended those events would come away with the impression they were actually inciting murder.
However they recently called out Israel at a major American event, and so the bot farms are in furious overdrive to amplify any clippable moment.
It would cost millions to design and build it and, as it would be the only one in the world ever built, it would again rely on bespoke components, for a service the BBC has been wanting to close for nearly 20 years anyway and is purely being kept open for the last stragglers to be herded onto smart meters.
The issue isn’t the funds, it’s the practicality. The transmitter needs two obsolete valves to operate, and the BBC bought the entire world’s supply in around 2010, which still amounted to less than ten. When one of the final pair blows it’s the end regardless of money.
To GitHub’s credit, when rightsholders allege violations of the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provisions, GitHub conducts its own assessment. If there is no basis for a claim, GitHub sometimes finds other copyright-related grounds, but here there is no pushback. That’s usually a sign of a complaint that stands up under intense scrutiny.
You’d have to be trying hard to forget your media literacy to think that was spin.
It’s a device that’s saying the Trump issue is the major one in the election. Trump, and how voters feel about him, is what is driving one party or the other to victory.
So you’re advocating a regression to 19th century mental asylums? Discarding humans as “hopeless” cases with no attempt to reintegration? That’s a bit sick.
It is going to be a great economy for Trump and Musk and their friends.
Project 2025 was not his, and do you think he read it?
