North Carolina, the new Hollywood?
From the Wilmington Star: "Citing the controversy surrounding the Dakota Fanning film Hounddog, the leader of the state Senate Republicans says he wants the government to review scripts before cameras start rolling in North Carolina".
The idea is the brainchild of state Sen. Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, and would apply only to films seeking the state's lucrative filmmaker incentive, which refunds as much as 15 percent of what productions spend in North Carolina.
Mr Berger himself states: "Why should North Carolina taxpayers pay for something they find objectionable?"
Duh, who gets to decide objectionable? You, Mr. Berger?
I think showing a 12 year old getting raped is horrible, but I also believe that the public will vote where it counts by not seeing the film. Again, duh!
