Hollywood: Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs

Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Foreign-Made Films
Hollywood Alarmed

President Trump announced on Truth Social that he intends to impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films, marking the first time his tariff policies would target a service rather than goods. Industry leaders warn such a move could disrupt Hollywood’s reliance on international production hubs in Canada, the U.K., and Australia, threatening U.S. jobs and billions in exports. The announcement, which reignites Trump’s feud with Gov. Gavin Newsom, adds new uncertainty for an industry already struggling to rebound from pandemic-era box office declines.

Harlan Ellison's Last Words

Longtime Friend And Babylon 5 Creator J. Michael Straczynski Endeavors to Reshape the Legacy of The Late Sci-Fl Writer
Los Angeles Magazine, March 2024

THE LOST Aztec Temple of Mars has stood atop the hills of Sherman Oaks for decades, with a facade lovingly fashioned like the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. Carved into its faded orange exterior is an imagined history of flying ships and extraterrestrials, of tangled tendrils and tentacles, of creatures
serpentlike and humanoid. This was the home of author Harlan Ellison, a sanctu­ary he also called Ellison Wonderland, where he wrote his popular scripts and short stories and kept its rooms filled with a museum-grade collection of sci­ence fiction and pop culture.
