[lbo-talk] Bizarre Comment from David Brooks

Russian movies generally outperform American (or other foreign) movies on the Russian market. A big change from the 90s, when Brother was a big deal.

No, the rest of the world is already producing and consuming its own
media, with no help from the US media oligopolies.

It's already happening in videogames. The average top-tier 3D videogame
(cost of production: $10 million) packs more emotional wallop in its
little toe than a ten-pack of Hollywood blockbusters (total cost of
production: $1 billion). Why? Because videogames are a transnational
media, able to access postcolonial history, multipolar geopolitics, and
anti-neoliberal social movements.
