There is no airport in the US that compares to the security of some of the airports that they are blocking computers to come from. If security was the true concern, every American flight would have this limitation now as well.
'Murica.
Obviously some American airline interests wanted more competitive airlines to lose customers but since they couldn't compete using capitalism turned to bribing someone.

Movie "Raw" will include barf bags in theaters

A. The movie sucks so bad you NEED it. Or (more probable)
B. It's a stunt to get more $$$$ -
-
That's not enough money to pay for many bags.

That's the most rock-n-roll way to go out, playing onstage until your very last breath.

Still mad about them casting an American to play a central role in what is a Japanese movie. The problem is the cultural differences between the two, especially for a movie as deep as Ghost in the Shell, is going to make diehard fans upset, and misrepresent it to those that don't.

Creator of Ghost in the Shell doesn't care. Said that it's not even a real human body and therefore has no race. I do still think they whitewash the hell out of everything in hollywood though
