  1. > “We do?” Kimmel questioned in response before adding, “Because I don’t care where they’re made. I really don’t. I guess it’s what the late, great Hannibal Lecter would’ve wanted. Sonic, the illegal immigrant hedgehog, is a national security threat and he must be stopped!”

    > Kimmel continued on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, “And this wasn’t just another late Sunday night whim for Trump. He said, ‘I have done some very strong research over the last week,’ which means he had brunch with Jon Voight at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.”

    > “This is where he reportedly got the tariff movies idea — from Angelina Jolie’s 86-year-old father she won’t talk to,” Kimmel quipped. “What a great idea. Next year, The White Lotus is gonna be set at a Hampton Inn.”

    > As for Fallon, he teased some potential filming locations for upcoming movies and television shows if they have to shoot in the U.S.

    > “Gonna be fun seeing the next Lord of the Rings filmed in Bayonne, New Jersey,” he host said on The Tonight Show, before attempting to reenact scenes from the epic fantasy adventure films, but with a New Jersey accent.

    > Fallon continued, “If you don’t like that, you can also watch Emily in Des Moines,” instead of Netflix’s Emily in Paris. “It’s just as charming,” he joked.

  2. Ever wonder why every big budget movie seems to take place in London? It’s because they give you 40% of the money you spend shooting there.

  4. I’m ready for White Lotus Gatlinburg.

    Get some of those Hollar folk involved, it could be a good time.

  7. MMW: this is gonna push Hollywood to AI in a major–and permanent–way.

    in fact, maybe this is the dumbass’s ulterior motive.
