So I presume that in an effort to save American jobs, Mr. Affleck offered to take a pay cut on those movies to keep them in the US, and then did them in foreign countries only under protest? Hmmm ... interestingly enough, I've never heard of him making such an offer, or such a protest.Stuart Mackey wrote:What pisses me off is idiots saying shite likeWhat a whining fucking pussy Runaway productions? Heaven forbid that an entertainment company go where it can best make a buck.But if what Affleck says is to be believed, he doesn't like shooting in Canada -- or countries other than the U.S. He called runaway productions "criminal."

As you said, Affleck's a pussy and a whiner. But he's also a no-talent hack, where he seems to have a grand total of two expressions: Sober, and Angry. It's not surprising that he'd blast others for making good films that leave his shit in the fucking dumpster.Stuart Mackey wrote:What a whining fucking pussy Runaway productions?

Let's see a quote. Nothing is mentioned in the article of Schwarzenegger calling Canadians criminals or thieves.Montcalm wrote:You forgot when Schwarzie got elected governor,he actualy said what i repeated so before insulting anyone think dammitDurandal wrote:Hey retard, that was Ben Affleck. I guess you didn't see the big picture of Affleck with the "criminal" quote under it. Schwarzenegger promised on the campaign trail to end US productions coming from Canada, and now he's following through. And even if Arnold did like filming movies in Canada, that was when he was an actor. Now he's the governor of the largest state in the US. So his priorities have kind of changed from "Places I like to film in" to "What is best for the people under my governance."Montcalm wrote:Before he got into politics,he said he'd like to come back to Canada to make more movies,now he call Canada thieves
Naturally, you can't recognize this, given that you're a knee-jerking, punctuation-deprived retard.
He's the RNC's poster boy right now. If he can get away with calling himself a Republican while simultaneously supporting gay civil unions and a woman's right to choose without being slandered and defamed by his party, I just might bet on him being able to move mountains with faith. Or his biceps.Darth Wong wrote:How did he pull it off anyway? Does he have any influence in Congress? Because this bill was passed by Congress, based on the article.
And he probably called up some of California's congressmen and senators and politely asked them to introduce such a bill into Congress. It wouldn't be hard to rally public support for such a bill, but I don't live in California, so I don't really know how much public appeal went for this thing.

Arnold has a great deal of influence in the state assembly right now, mostly because of three reasons:
1) He's a socially liberal Republican, a rare but popular form of Republican here in California.
2) He goes to extraordinary lengths to gather support from Democrats.
3) It looks really good to be supporting a bill with Arnold's endorsement. Just to show you how big a deal this is, all of the ballot initatives that Arnold has supported have passed.
