China To Ban Avatar From Theaters
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that China has banned
Avatar
from its theaters. China has a history of banning anything that’s cool; I kind of expected this from them at this point. What will surprise you is that they’ve only banned the 2D version. According to the LA Times the government has pulled the film from all of the country’s conventional, 2D cinemas but plans to leave it playing in 3D.
WTF!!

Because they are technology-forward that way? Haha. I wonder what the reasoning was behind this ban.

During the movie, I was momentarily jarred by many of the similar things that have been mentioned here, but for the most part, I forgot them as my pleasure progressed. Even the over zealous depiction of “corporate greed” or the over bearing were accepted as being a important section of the story.But there one small thing that (oddly enough, I guess) upset me. I had no way to go back and watch it after, but I’m pretty sure that when the Colonel was killed, he took his hands off the robot controls, trying to remove the arrow/bolt. Yet, with the Colonel’s death, the robot TOPPLED OVER! I would have expected such a machine just to simply stop moving and stand there.
