Malaysia Orders Cuts to ‘Abominable’ Over Controversial Map Scene

After being banned in Vietnam, China-U.S. co-production "Abominable" faces mounting problems in Malaysia and the Philippines.

The map scene has already caused the film to be banned in Vietnam. The Philippines’ foreign minister, Teodoro Locsin, called this week for “Abominable” to be boycotted, but his words fell short of action.

[...]

The map in the animated film depicts the so-called “nine-dash line,” a U-shaped boundary unilaterally declared by Beijing that carves out resource-rich maritime regions for itself. Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia all make contesting and overlapping claims.

I'm not sure where to put this but since I can't wait for season 3 of Westworld, and I really loved this, here is Evan Rachel Wood describing her experiences surviving domestic abuse, her acceptance of her body, and discovering her bisexuality.

I'm not quite convinced yet that this is going to be a good movie, but at least the CG model of Sonic looks loads better than it originally did.

In Latest Version of Star Wars’ “Han Shot First” Scene, George Lucas Adds “Maclunkey”

Han shot first because the Force is strong in him, and he knew Greedo was about to shoot. For evidence about the Force, look at his son, and all the times he was able to pull off incredible maneuvers and fights.

Han shot first because at the time Star Wars was originally written, his character was intended to start as an amoral pirate who only becomes a good guy at the end due to his experiences within the narrative of the film.

(Not a fan of Watsonian arguments. )

Han shot first. That's how it happened. Eyewitnesses were there opening week and we're still alive.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

A bounty hunter walks into a bar and sits across from a guy who has a bounty on his head. They know each other. They both knew it was a shoot out before it started. It established Han Redcup as a skilled operator in a rough world. The sort of person that Ben and Luke were looking for. Lucas kept trying to make Han more retroactively noble, but it followed an old action serial trope right out of the stuff that inspired Star Wars and that those of us watching in the mid 70s expected.

lol

Sorry guys, Lucas has won me over. I now want him to add some new and inscrutable little thing to this scene every time a new release of this movie is done, just to troll people.

"Now Han shoots hours after Greedo takes 17 shots at him, after giving a speech on the benefits of peace at all costs while saving a dozen baby wookies from a burning building."
