But he soon got serious and zipped his lips. He can’t tell us how their premise works, he said, but he did promise that yes, Coulson really is back, and is alive post-Avengers, “for realsies.”

They are bringing in a young Redford to be Daredevil.

This is shameful. Truly. Sure, China owns America, but do you have to pander to them too. I think this is almost worse than what happened with the Red Dawn remake. Positively shameful.

Nothing in worse than what happened with the Red Dawn remake. According to the LA Times article, since China only allows so many foreign movies to appear in their theaters each year, studios are starting to do this crap so that their movies will be picked, since they want a billion people to have the chance to give them money.

And on that note:

Not to get on a political rant, but could you imagine the outcry if some theatre in like, I don't know, Kentucky, edited out the language in an R rated move because they objected to it? Think the studios would stand for it?

Well, a few years ago there was a whole thing about how there was a company that would take videotapes (okay, maybe several years ago) and splice out the naughty parts so that parents who wanted to show their kids Titanic without Kate Winslet's toplessness (and probably the whole scene) could do so. The studios were suing and presumably won if the editing company was charging for their work.

The moral of the story is that if there is no money to be made, the studio will protect the artistic vision of the filmmakers. If there is money to be made, the studio will whore that product as hard as they can. The entertainment will come when a director complains about having his movie altered for China, but then the director probably gets his own extra check.

And here I thought half of the appeal of Titanic was Kate Winslet's toplessness.
