Sounded like a great time. I wish one of our drive-ins would do the same.

Sounds like a blast.

Why would they use that tagline anyway? Seems stupid.

Anyway, tough titty.....enjoy the awesomeness, Japan!

No doubt!
They want the movie to do well in Japan... why would they put that tagline?

That article seems stupid anyway, calling Cap "an ******* who proudly killed Japanese in the comics." That was relating to WWII. Did he forget what the Japanese did to the Chinese and British? Upto and including cannibalizing them.

As if half of them haven't already downloaded it anyways.

Day of the Dead: The Asian Years.

I used to think the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unwarranted, but after hearing how the Japanese treated non-Japanese, I think both were inhumane.

I remember reading the uproar about that and was thinking, "Oh please... Lighten up already?!" Seems like no matter what is put in films these days, someone, somewhere always gets offended.

As for offending people.... Look what's going on with the Avengers in Japan....

[My Lord]

Seen the Blu-Ray bootleg that's out there, and the spear through the heart has indeed been cgi'ed out. So lame Disney.

Yet the bloodsoaked spear is still dripping red. WTF?

If any of you guys ordered the Marvel Cinematic Univers Phase One briefcase set, there may be a problem; there is a lawsuit about the briefcase design. Amazon has removed the pre-order option and states it is under review, and the Disney Movie Club page no longer shows the briefcase and has removed it from the description.

Whoops...somebody was asleep at the switch...

Since by this date these have already been produced, Disney is going to be well motivated to cut some sort of deal.

^ Not when someone else is making money off it.

It just looks like any other generic briefcase to me! On a serious note, I think the briefcase company just realise that Marvel has made a **** load of money from The Avengers, and now they want a slice of the pie.

Either way I don't care as long as it doesn't delay my set arriving on my doorstep!

That's about it really.

If they don't have these already made and ready to ship, they probably will go with a generic looking case.

I'd like to have this, but I've got all of them on blu already, so I ordered the one from Target.
