Countries turn backs on Hollywood

[acmejack]

Unesco member states have formally voted to support their own film and music industries against globalisation.

The United Nations cultural body voted in favour of a cultural diversity convention, backed by France, Canada and the UK.

The US had said the "deeply flawed" convention could be used to block the export of Hollywood films and other cultural exports.

4. So what?

After fifteen or twenty minutes watching a French or British movie TRYING to emulate Hollywood, or something completely different that's about as interesting as watching paint dry, I turn the damn channel.

Do you honestly think that this pronouncement is going to have an impact on what the average citizen wants to watch?
