Shreveport? “From what I was told to expect, I pulled up looking for a dirt road and a McDonald’s, and it was nothing like that,” said Jerry Jacobs, a producer of Disaster Movie. Several other producers also have discovered the many advantages of shooting in the North Louisiana city where, no kidding, I was gainfully employed during the late 1970s as entertainment editor for The Times. Indeed, Oliver Stone currently is shooting his eagerly awaited W on location there. (Because they wouldn't let him shoot in Texas, maybe?) (Just kidding, just kidding!)

Pretty much what every other industry does for my home state: Provide more opportunities for city and state officials to wheedle bribes and kickbacks.
