make me one with everything

from the Toronto Star:

> Mel Brooks has bypassed northeastern film hub Toronto in favour of
> New York because of new film subsidies and some important
> gastronomical considerations
>
> The famed comedian said the $45 million (U.S.) remake of his own
> film and broadway smash, The Producers, won't be shot here because
> of our bagels.

& this:

> Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki credited new state
> and local tax credit programs with attracting Brooks's film to New
> York

note to Mayor Gavin Newsom:

1.) light a fire under the SF Film Commission to promote the city
2.) use your good looks and charm get some production tax incentives on the legislative agenda
3.) roll back fee increases for rentals on Treasure Island facilities
4.) fly in fresh H&H bagels for all location scouts
