--------
Michael Jai White highlighted that he disagrees with the belief that Black actors do not sell overseas, stating that it isn't about race but the type of movies being produced. Action films and some horror films are more likely to generate revenue globally, while movies outside of these genres, regardless of the lead actor's race, may not be as successful. He champions action movies like those of Jackie Chan or Jet Li and believes they sell because they offer content that may be less available in other countries. White also stated that LGBT content does well, notably in India. He proposes a shift towards producing content with a worldwide perspective, insisting that there is a large fan base that needs to be catered to.
Action is the universal language. Dramas & any movies with lots of dialogue might not translate as well because of speech patterns, colloquialisms & cultural differences that people might not understand or relate to. But somebody punching someone else in the face can't be mistranslated or misunderstood no matter if it's 2 karate-ka, 2 boxers, 2 amateur teens or 2 superhumans.
This is it, 🎯🎯🎯🎯
This is stated very well!
Exactly!!
I mean... porn translates pretty easily too 😂
People don't want to read movies.. You can watch an action flick just for the fight scenes and what not.. However, a drama or a romance from another country involves reading a lot of hard to see dialouge on screen in order to follow the plot.. No one in the world really wants to do that..
Vlad talked so much that Michael started looking around like "why am I even here?" LOL
I’m glad you said it. It happens in every single video it’s one of the reasons why I stopped watching his interviews all the time. We’re here to listen to the interviewee not the interviewer interrupt all the time. I’ve become really selective with the videos I watch from VladTV because I’ve got to think - do I care enough about this persons story to stomach Vlad talking over them every 5mins.
@@ACsPianoCorner What you said.
The man literally ruins his own interviews.
@@TChalla616lol
Best part of it was when MJW was talking.
The Rock, Denzel, Halle Berry and Will Smith figured action movies is where the money is at a long time ago.
Well, Denzel Washington isn't exactly a action superstar and his movies. The majority of them have done well overseas. You know why because he's good
@@flyguy7825 Denzel is a great actor and he’s had some great action movies where a lot of them have made him big money overseas. The Equalizer franchise made him even richer.
@@datsapaddlin the equalizer series outside of two movies and two guns are the only movies Denzel Washington has done actionwise that has made money. The movies that have made him the most money are the ones that he turns in dramatic performances. Go look it up
Will Smith made 9 Billion at the box office from Action Sci Fi films
@@datsapaddlin That's true but if you look at the majority of his movies they did well at the box office overseas and the majority of his work is not action. That's my point
I wondered growing up why China only made martial arts style movies growing up.. I was WRONG. They made all different types of movies. However, the only ones that translated to America well was their action movies!
Indeed!
Same shit in Africa buddy, I had the same perception
That's because for the other genres you need to know the language, culture, and customs in order to grasp the full experience of the production. Every nation understands violence, money, math, science/technology, strong men with hot women on their shoulders.
Arnold was never the best actor but because he had the body of an Olympian or Duke Nukem archetype it made him perfect for big budget action films. It's totally believable that he could pick up a man with one hand, over power or fight multiple guys, or kick down a door.
In action movies, you don’t even have to speak the language of the movie.
Facts
Chuck Norris is proof
@@edmondsfamily9577*sylvester Stallone has entered the chat
Exactly
Arnold Schwarzenegger only spoke A couple of words in his movies. Michael Jai Whites biggest movies are Undisputed and Spawn but hardly any body over seas knows his name
Wow I had no idea! Now this is some great information. This is a mini Master class for aspiring filmmakers. Michael Jai White is dropping some real gems that up and coming and newer film producer should take note of.
Scarasm detected.
You got a instagram I’m tryna work on a podcast and RUclips tv series. What state are you from?
No, he is shining on a light that are feeding on the stereotypes of people that are black and people who are overseas naming one one MJW movie that has done well overseas that wasn't independently produced. Don't worry, I'll wait.
He right with horror. S.Korea “Train to Busan” is one of the best modern horror movies I’ve seen in years. American horror movies have gotten too comedic with the CGI use. Even the modern sequels to classic movies (Jason, Elmstreet., etc) aren’t as good
Nothing beats J horror..Japanese Horror..Indonesia has great ones,too.
Facts I seen both parts
man Thai horor films are good too, good lawd
Foreign horror movies rule. Found that out after watching The Human
Centipede back in the day.
You're overlooking all of the American "elevated horror" films tho.
It feels like every upload for about 2-3 weeks have had Taraji’s name in it
Vlad films these back to back.. so it makes sense
@@zerofox3075nah it’s wild even with it being cut up with multiple different guests
Because Vlad is the algorithm bul 😂😂😂
Obviously a agenda
He slams videos back to back based off what’s being discussed at the moment.
Vlad is interviewing himself 😂😂😂
It’s universal. When men see Michael Jai White doing his thing in a movie, they want to be Michael’s character. When women see a character, they want the character to be them.

Mr White is the type of guy you pay for advice ✍️🏾💯
Advice like this is priceless 👊🏾🔥
Naw !! Y'all just take these dudes work for it and not look up and do your own research. Barbie was the number one movie last year in terms of box office that was far from an action movie and that made a billion. It made the bulk of his money overseas that completely killed his argument and just made him look like a fool. But yet just because someone knows how to articulate b******* y'all will agree with it.

The Color Purple in 1985 had a budget of 15 million dollars and made 94 million worldwide sales. The Color Purple in 2023 cost 100 million to make currently made about 60 million dollars world wide sales.
Yep and that wasn't an action movie by any stretch of the imagination. More victimization more. Lets make more excuses for this woman and people
The best movies were in the 80's and nineties in my Opinion, the first Color Purple was A classic
@@tomburkart7814 I don't think you're alone with that opinion.There's a slew of movies from that time that became cultural icons i.e. Jurassic Park, Terminator, matrix, etc.
Yes, but you have to take into account how many times it has been released over and over and over again in 39 years. That wasn't just for the year it was released.
The sign of the times plays a big factor imo. In the 80's & early 90's..for my family anyway...any big film that was coming out..we were going to go see it. It didn't matter what type of genre it was..there were less outlets of content..same with television. In today's era filmmakers & producers are hard pressed to capture an audience and attain staying power..unless the content is super potent & powerful...this is where the youth today is somewhat missing out on certain content that they otherwise would have been almost forced to see back in the day.
Hardly anyone asked for another damn iteration of the Color Purple..especially through the lens of these 'intersectional' feminist writers. You know it's bad when the first immediate action one takes upon hearing about a project is to look up who is behind the writing & producing. They have fucked up way too much content in the last ten years to afford grace, trust, and financial support from the public. The golden years of Spike Lee, Robert Townsend, Van Peebles, the Wayans, Hughes Brothers ect.. are long gone.
Jean Claude Van Damme was huge his action films were crazy!!!!!
He's completely right 😂😂 I've been to other countries and only action movies from America get big overseas
Yup! Ong bak, watched that not understanding the language just waited for the action scenes.

Watch the full interview now as a VladTV RUclips Member - ruclips.net/user/vladtvjoin
Vlad, why do we never have this conversation about white actors? Are you saying white actors are never involved in projects that don't make money? I never hear them say they got paid less than industry standard though (except some women).
Vlad think he slick by apologizing to Taraji then he drops this interview where he continues to pretty much insinuate she has no reason to complain
One uncomfortable truth that no one is mentioning is that for actresses, looks are probably the most important factor in how big they get. There’s a reason Margot Robbie is the biggest actress in the world right now. And unfortunately Taraji isn’t hot enough to make the big bucks. And it ain’t just a black/white thing. Halle Berry was an A lister in her prime. Kerry Washington may not be a massive movie star, but she was the lead in a very successful TV show. Their looks helped them big time.
There are several factors..acting chops, looks, network & what one is willing or not willing to do (political game, casting couch ect..)..and race is in there too..because in reality there's only going to be a certain amont of black so called 'A-listers'..men & women. There's a decent amount of white actresses who are not considered universally attractive but are all up in our faces.
Halle berry was hot Kerry Washington was okay. She is a good actor. Maybe she's probably working with a great management team
@@moloperams Good point, i mean Halle, Kerry and gals like Zoe Saldana were able to cross over into white mainstream audiences. I don't think Taraji is as big as she thinks she is. They aren't calling her for big time roles like a Viola Davis..who imo is a good looking woman but she's not huge because of her looks.
@@PFlaw317 I mean, I’d say Zendaya is an A list actress who is a black woman. She gets roles that would traditionally go to white women. At the end of the day audiences will take attractive over white. And also, because most of the movie going public is white, and people tend to find their own race more attractive (with some exceptions), those “less attractive” white women get pushed because they’re considered more attractive to white audiences.
@@davidortega3393 Well yeah, and that's why race will always play a factor in the States and other places. Ambiguous looking and or *bi-racial* women like Zendaya, Zoe Kravitz, Zoe Saldana ect..will always be more palatable to white audiences..it's not the only factor but a factor. I mean Zoe Saldana played Nina Simone for crying out loud. Not going to get into who is black and who isn't. But when people think of the common image of a black woman with two direct black parents..the face of Zendaya (a mixed woman who may identify as 'black') is not what comes to mind. Henson is comparable to Tichina Arnold, both attractive Black Women who can act..but they are only going to reach a certain level in the States.
The problem with Vlad’s argument is that movies are a collaborative effort. You can be a stellar actor who kills the role, but a movie goes through months of editing before it’s released. To me, the editing is the deal breaker with how movies do, not the actors. So flop movies is a cop out for negotiating meetings in my opinion.
No.. Editing has nothing to do with people showing up to Theaters. Nobody ever said, “I would’ve went to see that movie, but I heard they cut too early from a POV shot to an establishing shot.” … BUT, people won’t show up to see Color Purple (which lost $55M) when your press run is primarily you complaining instead of how good the movie is and bring your Family and Friends to check it out.
@@BobbyJOnline taraji is mad that she didnt negotiate into her contract things she considered "industry standard" because she didnt have the leverage to do it. Even if other actors get it automatically its because no studio would dare offend them because of their power. I get that they treat others better but if this movie would have done well she would have the leverage to guarantee the standard treatment.
If you're name never sells then you can't ask for more money. Nothing she's done has been a blockbuster.
@@macalloway1 Nah it takes consistency to get leverage. 1 movie won't cut it. Look at Margot Robbie. She has been in mainstream after mainstream production. She now has the ability to fully solidify herself as an A list actress, especially after Barbie put a cherry on top. Now she is the new Julia Roberts or Angelina Jolie.
It's more to it than that. Taraji can do great and someone else drops the ball. Or the genre maybe hostile to a universal and male audience like most of her movies are.
Much respect for MJW- he handled that well- we can give constructive feedback without bashing. Great modeling brother.
Vlad somehow focused on Proud Mary ,,, and not her huge hits that she starred in like "Hidden Figures" and "Empire "
She wasn’t the focal point star in those movies.
@@juanthyme1569 She was a main focal point in both of those projects. She was the lead in "Hidden Figures which made 236 million and the lead ( and probably biggest cultural draw) of "Empire "
@@Goodguy1fulright stop playing with her 🙄
She wasn't the star in Empire.
Empire was billing Terrence Howard as top billin.
Hidden Figures is the only movie she starred in that made money.
@@ddavis8988 she was 100% the star of Empire ... She was the main character that drove the show ...to the point that she won a 'Best Actress Golden Globe and was nominated for two best actress Emmy's for Empire and hosted SNL because of Empire
hence jackie chan, bruce lee, jet li has univerrsal global appeal for so many decades. even 100 years from now, kids see what they do and will still be in awe.
There is some truth to what he says, but then again Eddie Murphy became a massive global star and Coming to America was big in many countries. Well made, funny, light hearted comedies translate all over the world also and they can be white, black, yellow, green, whatever.
Exactly
Put down that sledgehammer ...... lol...
The look on Mike's face towards the end. 🤣
Mike be looking at Vlad like he wondering how many ways can he K.O. Vlad 😂
MJW is speaking utmost truth, once start looking at biggest movies that have cross appeal they mainly either action driven or have action in them.
The biggest and most sold anime/manga in the west all mainly action driven series.
No he didn't Barbie What's the number one grossing movie last year that was not an action movie!! Lol
@@flyguy7825 You obviously lack reading comprehension skills. I said mainly action oriented films, meaning more often they tend to be more profitable. Films like Barbie are outliner's. The exception doesn't prove the rule.
Check the biggest box office makers in mordern times they mainly all action.
@@flyguy7825 We aren't saying that no movie genre outside of action can reach blockbuster status, we are saying the highest potential is in action/scifi/fantasy genres. Titanic is such a movie that isn't action based but had huge success.
Not only are action/fantasy/scifi movies the most likely to go overseas big but they are also the movies that are most likely to start franchises. Fast and the Furious, Transformers, Harry Potter, MCU, Star Wars, Terminator, Alien, Predator, Lord of the rings, Hunger Games, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, James Bond, Bad Boys, Rocky, Rambo, Expendables, Jumanji, Star Trek, Transporter etc.
Barbie if I'm not mistaken is a generational global feminine phenomenon. Ofcourse it will make a billion when you have half the population that happens to be 80% of the consumer base endorse a movie that is based on their nostalgia of a girl popular product.
@@supoa9489 Again you lack comprehensive skills cuz I was talking about what MJW said not what the f*** you said you obviously don't know what you're talking about because if you did, you wouldn't know that Barbie wasn't an outlier Titanic was the the number one money making movie for over 25 years and that's far far from action movie There were several animated films that took in more money than a lot of these action films. You actually knew the movie business dummy you would actually know what he said and what you believe was not factually correct?
@@seedking40 brought the question was only action movies generate money overseas that is factually 100% incorrect. If you actually look at the box office over the last 30 plus years, you wouldn't know that that wasn't actually called their animated movies like beauty and the beast. The Lion King finding Nemo finding Dory along with titanic along with Barbie and a few other movies that were nowhere near action movies that have generated millions upon millions of dollars overseas and all of those movies were number one mega Blockbuster hits. So again stick with what the man said and not which what you believe to be true based upon I need your reaction.
There are some huge actors that have made lots of “flops” George Clooney lots of flops. Brad Pitt lots of flops. Tom Hanks lately lots of flops. Now I’m saying this without doing any real research into this but going off of memory they had lots of flops. I guess when you have a few hits it evens out.
But to me there are two big factors in the Color Purple not being an initial success.
1. No one asked for this remake and no one asked for the remake to be a musical. Which is a fact that was left out of the trailer.
2. Movie going habits have changed dramatically since COVID. Most movies fail now. People would rather stream the movie at home rather than pay $15 for popcorn, $9 for a drink, $6 for candy $15-$20 for tickets. The one thing I get for free is the distractions in the theater. Cell phones going off. Conversations. Nah I’m good. I’ll watch the movie on whatever streaming service. What should be making a killing is the few drive in movies left.
Movie habits have changed but people will go see something that they thing will be enjoyable. Barbie, Super Mario, Oppenheimer, Spider man etc were all suoer successful despite the price increase at the theaters. Nobody asks for remakes or sequels in general but they still come out if they believe money will be made. Nobody wanted to see the Color Purple so it didn't do well and it had nothing to do with Taraji being black. The first Color purple was trash and the latest one is worse and in my opinion it was a waste of time and resources doing it again. Majority of movies are trash nowadays even the ones on streaming services and even they are raising their prices for subscriptions. I'll keep watching my DVD's for the free for the most part.
@@ronniedavis6889The first Color Purple was trash 😂 Yeah your opinion is defintely thrown out the window
@michaelrichardson3708 the fact that you think it was a good movie gets the window closed on you before you even get too it. Nice try Lil bro
I love Vlad man always giving great advice , create your own and have more control , what others can do you can do too.
MJW Dropping Knowledge✊🏾
This is motivation for my project!
Taraji did great in hidden figures
That was an ensemble cast and that's only 1 credit. Her track record after that holds Hidden Figures as a fluke for Taraji's resume.
These are the type of gems dropped. High quality, high clarity, princess cut
Awesome info from MJW. I never thiught sbout thr action concekt until now.
Vlad is 100% correct, proud Mary flopped. Also Teraji won’t produce her own films because she knows she’ll make even less, especially initially
So what, scarlet johanson comedy movies floppy all the time but check the amount of she got paid
@@kondwanimande7567 Lies, Scarlet Johanson is literally a part of the marvel universe also she starred in Lucy which cost 40 million to make and it brought back in 470 million (11 times its original budget). That's why she's getting paid.
@LOSTGPS I'm not talking about marvel movies, I'm talking about normal film's like comedy, Jennifer Lawrence was paid 20 million for No hard feelings and the movie flopped big time, you're just ignorant or doesn’t care like the rest of them
@@kondwanimande7567 1. You're the one that brought up Scarlet Johansan, now you're moving the goal post because you were wrong.
2. Sony never officially released how much Jennifer Lawrence was paid so you're just guessing.
3. No hard feelings didn't flop, its doubled its budget at the box office.
4. Jennifer Lawrence is the star of Hunger games and that franchise has grossed $3,000,000,000.
you are the ignorant and emotional one, keep trying to be right clown lmfao
@@kondwanimande7567 Jennifer Lawrence STARRED in the hunger games and that movie franchise grossed $3,000,000,000. You’re just emotional and it’s causing you to be irrational. Cry harder.
He’s not lying. Michael Jai White’s films be spinning OFF THE HINGES in Central America.
Did Michael know he was gona talk about Taraji for 50 minutes, this ish crazy
Word. Every clip has been about her. Just straight brought dude in to talk about the next person going through a situation.
WAtched 2 new MJW movies on Amazon last night. Indy films.Decent budgets. All Ass-kicking from intro to credits
I never thought about this. Finally talking to MJW about his craft💯
I don’t understand people of statue, fans, network that they don’t make their own films. I have two friends that made their own film and put it on tubi for under $100k and they making a bag.. but everyone doesn’t have a boss mentality
Vlad is over obsessed about being right in topics people disagree with him on, we don't need 20 parts about Taraji or why adults that play video games are losers
Facts
MJW gotta play BISHOP in XMEN
Thanks!
So true about finding that overseas market and what they want. If you tap into that, you can make just as much money.
Let's see Michael do the underwear singing scene from Risky Business and then back to me. 😅😅 You ain't Tom Cruise!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The thing Taraji wanted to say but could not, Vlad, is that Margot Robbie, and all of the countless other white actors get chance after chance after chance to flop and flop and flop. Margot had flop after flop after flop and she still got Barbie.
Is every video gonna be about taraji now? It's become such a dead topic
Was this an interview or a conversation? Interviews should have the interviewee doing the talking. Vlads interruptions made this frustrating. If its a convo, both should be in the frame.
Vlad always lectures his guests. I think he just pays black people to be his friends. He's a lonely, old Jew.
"I just wanna say this before you go on". Vlad proceeds to talk non-stop for the next two and a half minutes.
Vlad is absolutely correct in this clip💯
Does Vlad realize people don't watch the videos to hear him talk?
He interrupts and doesn't let him finish talking. He needs to learn proper interview etiquette.
I fast forwarded the interview and Vlad was still speaking 😂😂😂😂😂
Denzel Washington isn't an action star and he translates internationally..Put it like this, if you are a black actor, you have to worl twice as hard.Three times as hard if you are blk woman.
She is a tv star ⭐️ not a movie star.
Overseas horror movie is on a different level because most of the times it’s realistic and just have regular everyday people no monsters,creatures,etc just human beings doing the most demonic things. If you’re brave watch Salo
So the notebook wasnt poppin in China lol
What is the obsession with Vlad talking @ Taraji?
She was a hot topic and crying. So now he wants to capitalize off of it. Same way he was bringing everyone in to talk about Kat.
She's a public figure who "publicly" put her emotions on display with all that whining she was doing because she didn't get what she wanted.
Vlad needs to let the guests talk.
Marvel said this about black panther before it made over 1 billion dollars.
Nobody rushing out the door to see Taraji no hate but just Realistic
Vlad doesn’t show himself, but we will definitely hear him.
Taraji in Acrimony finally did something action facing and it finally really connected. She should have kept at it. Smh.
EXACTLY, MJW! ❤❤❤❤
They didn’t say Black people don’t translate overseas they said SHE doesn’t.
Nah… they will downplay even the inclusion of black characters in films over seas. In one movie, the black characters (it was a married couple in the film) was removed from the movie poster used to promote the film overseas on purpose. (It was a comedy with other white married couples but can’t remember the name right now. I can remember the controversy it caused though…)
It was the movie “Couples Retreat”
It has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the actors and actresses in the movie. If it's a good movie, it's going to make money. It's a bad movie. It's not going to make money
@@MamacitaNaturalI’m not saying they don’t say that I’m saying is that they didn’t say that to her they were specifically saying SHE doesn’t translate overseas. Only a few black actors can perform overseas and you know who they are so I don’t need to name them and she’s not one of them.
@@flyguy7825absolutely! Like they say “you can’t stop a hit record.” It’s the same idea with a movie. 💯
I never thought about this whatsoever. MJW is giving knowledge.
Vlad finally had a good point
You’re worth what someone will pay you. Nobody deserves anything. Most people should be happy they don’t get what they really deserve
Exactly. If her fans don't want to pay her productioncosts for her movies through gofundme accounts & stuff like that- then you can't demand risktaking capitalists to be superattracted to you and throw bags filled with money at you. Prove that the market is there,before demanding that the market is there
Vlad don’t want taraji to get no paper unless she produce the movie herself 😂😂😂
Well her name doesn't sell movies. It's just reality.
Man I am such a fan of MJW! As a person he is just dope!!
what about mr bean that guy is universal
Taraji is not on the level of Angela Bassett or Meryl Streep. The only actress who should be complaining the loudest at the moment is Angela Bassett who is beautiful, graceful and a clasically trained actor from Yale. Yet she continues to be passed over for awards and leading roles.
Angie's Bassett has been an Exec Producer on her TV Series 9-1-1
So she's not hurting like TPH is
Proud Mary had potential, but the story needed work, the trailer was good, but the actual movie...him, not so good
Brother Micheal Jai White is a real factual dude. They always try to make it seem like it's only black culture that doesn't progress overseas. It honestly is all cultures in other countries that have problems in selling.
Shout out to the two universal languages of all time : LAUGHTER AND VIOLENCE, everyone seems to understand them
Interesting. Good info.
The jacket fire bro
Lol i NEED THAT WATCH! Is that an INVICTA?
She didn't get Oscar nominated for the Color Purple.The original Shug did. So it doesn't matter! 😅
This lady is 53 years old, her time as an actress has passed. It is based on looks. She could do a remake of Good Times, perfect florida Evans. The reality is that the history of film 130 years, the number of female actresses that can carry a movie is like 20.
Nobody asked for a remake to the color purple. That’s why it was not a success, you cannot put out product that people don’t want.
Michael Jai White was informative about how only certain movies translate overseas. According to Michael and the podcast host, that’s part of the reason some actors have difficulty securing well-paying and high-profile roles. Their strengths as actors and actresses don’t lend themselves to action flicks. It’s food for thought.
However, his argument falls apart-to some degree- when you think about Hugh Grant, Helen Mirren, and Daniel Day-Lewis-all of whom have enjoyed success as actors in the American market. Add to that list Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Anthony Hopkins, Sophia Vergara, Salma Hayek, and Nicole Kidman. None of these actors and actresses have played, with any consistency, in action flicks. I, to be sure, am no producer, so I don’t know whether I’m comparing Apples and Oranges. Still, Tarej, Viola Davis, and Angela Bassett are in no way inferior to any of the stars named earlier. In fact, “some” of the ppl named earlier may be comparable to those three sistahs’, but none are better. Besides, how can you reality test that theory (only action movies translated overseas) if you are never given a chance?
Let’s be honest. All three of those women, as great as they are, might still encounter great difficulty finding funding for their independent projects. Whether we acknowledge it or not, white rich males still hold the reigns of power in Hollywood, and they show little signs of sharing those reigns.
💯💯Now that actually makes since!!!
That's why fast & furious goes crazy at the box office.
The country that watches my RUclips channel the 2nd most after America is India and I always wondered why so that makes sense now that he says its the largest english speaking country in the world.
Because everything is global. People worldwide arent really into hollywood. They are making their own cinemas n content n shows. No one needs to rely on hollywood or usa music industry.
I havent watch american film since avengers endgame. I havent watch american tv programming in over 15 years. I live in usa. All my content is oversees. Most music is overseas. U can go n watch movies coming out of europe, africa, asia. Its alot. Its thank to streaming platforms.
I saw a break down. They knew some of our top celebrities from grape juice commercials, not their movies.
Proud Mary 2 ahh no thanks
Love the Sho’ Nuff shirt!
Excellent observation
Fred Williamson is a action star overseas, well maybe not now, but definitely the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s.
I would argue that the Alphabet mafia material in Movies is what Over Sea Markets reject at a high rate.
Ummm! What?! Lol that's more gay bashing right?
Do you have the data?
GOOD, the folks overseas still have common sense and decency and actually care about the future of their people so as not to expose them to that alphabet trash
In his defense he really only noted the Indian market. But yeah im sure a lot of people overseas are just as annoyed at seemingly forced alphabet scenes in certain content as people here
@@flyguy7825 "Gay Bashing"? No, I have zero problem or care about anyone's sexuality. I don't care about things that Don't effect me. I do have a problem with organizations that hide their Marxist Agenda behind a worthy cause. Besides, where was the gay bashing in my comment?? And what kind of "Bashing" do you have, All Over Your Social Media???
I agree, I knew of Jet Li and Jackie Chan etc before they became known here all because of their 80s and early 90s overseas films
Loving the Shonuff shirt.
He's absolutely right
Salute to MJW
That's what I been telling people. Other markets already have their version of Hollywood, like a Bollywood.
The only movies that are going to be allowed in as competition for the most part are Action/Adventure/scifi films because it's about the spectical of visuals like fire works. Not so much about culture/race(which female actress movies are heavy on).
i live in Vietnam...Friends is huge here
Michael J White bring back the last Dragon. Is that why he wearing that shirt? I’m ready
He's telling the truth.
This is basically a pod cast now
