Censorship.
Just watched The Simpsons Movie yesterday. It's been a long while since I've watched The Simpsons, ever since Channel 5 decided to stop showing it. Laughed all the way from the start to the end. And we stayed after it ended to make sure to catch any scenes after the credits. But there wasn't any. But still, there was an interesting scene during the credits itself. And reading the credits made me realize that Green Day really performed The Simpsons Theme:
And it also made me realize that most of the animation is done by Koreans. Firstly, I didn't know Koreans were such good animators. I only know they are good gamers. And also, I didn't know they actually outsourced the animation to Korea. But whatever. It doesn't really make a difference to me.
I just checked the rating of the movie, and found out it's actually PG. Rather surprised that it's only PG, not NC-16 or something, because there was a scene where you could see Bart's.. genitals. For like 1 second or something. And the Board of Censors didn't even bother cutting that part. I thought they would have done something about it, even though it's animated. Maybe Royston Tan's Cut really changed the censors. Anyway, Cut is a short film made by Royston Tan in retaliation to the censors cutting away 27 parts from his film 15, which is about 15-year-old boys in street gangs. I really love Cut.
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
And he filmed it such that Cut didn't get cut at all. How nice. I think Royston Tan is really talented. I intend to watch 881 when it comes out.
