King Putin quashes plans to restrict Hollywood films
Quote:
Vladimir Putin has torpedoed proposals to introduce a quota system limiting the number of Hollywood films which can be shown in Russian cinemas.
“It would be wrong to deny our consumers those goods they would like to have,” Putin told a forum of the All-Russia People’s Front last week. He added: “The Americans are talented and successful people and there is a lot we can learn from them.”
Hollywood movies are hugely popular in Russia. The move to cap foreign films at 50% of current levels would have cost Hollywood studios revenue stretching into hundreds of millions of dollars on an annual basis.
So it's wrong to deny your people access to watch American films but omg... two men who love each other and women who stand up for themselves and others... that is absolutely forbidden.
not "King Putin"
