Movie "Raw" will include barf bags in theaters
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-theater-provides-barf-bags-cannibal-movie-raw-987788
Seeing that the movie grossed a whole $78,000 I would say either
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 sucks. What a loss. I assume that he died doing what he loved doing the most. RIP

Good band. Played the hell out of those first 2 records. Singing their songs in Rock Band was tough!

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

And the whitewashing of this is horrible. Although, I did hear William Dafoe is supposed to play Ryuk in a Death Note movie, and I must say that I approve. Take his face when he's crazy Green Goblin from the original Sam Reimi Spiderman movie, make it resting crazy and not active crazy, and that's the fucking face of Ryuk. It will be interesting to see how they do it. But as a casting choice, I can't argue that one.
