Give me a break....it's another pay to play scheme or in this case, pay to work.....I have been in and worked on movies....maybe I should set up some bunk event and keep all the door money.....give me a break.

Until MA increase tax incentives to Hollywood, they'll always shoot in nearby states not in the state of Massachusetts.

We also had Mass Illusions, producing special effects for Hollywood in Lenox, MA - one of the few full effects facilities on the east coast. But were bought out and moved to CA in 1998.

Several movies that I was involved with directly wanted to film in MA but were discouraged by all the petty BS from local towns as well as the MTA and the Gov's office with regards to tax credits.
Great job folks all the money (or at least most of it) ended up being spent in NY.
There are folks actually making a difference locally but are getting hamstrung by state and local gov't. pettiness

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Cancer

If you have children at home they'll be really playful today and quite a handful at times. Encourage them to burn off all their energy during the day otherwise it will be a case of tears before bedtime. There could also be a fractious atmosphere between you and a loved one, and this will quickly escalate into a row if you aren't careful.
