A ‘White Lotus’ Scene Was Censored in India, but It’s Not the One You Might Think

by

From a cinema enthusiast’s perspective, it’s the initial sequence that underwent a change – where Belinda’s son, Zion (Nicholas Duvernay), ventures into a pond following hotel gunfire. Upon spotting a Buddha statue, he implores, “Please, let my mom be safe.” He utters a Christian prayer, but as more gunshots echo, his plea transforms to a frustrated exclamation, “What the devil! I said, keep harm away from my mother, you bastard!” This scene is designed to portray the casual misunderstanding of Buddhism among Americans and foreshadows that this tranquil vacation in Thailand will be far from peaceful.

by

If Ireland must pay an additional fee for appearing on the Lucky Charms box, Colbert mimicked Trump, and the audience cheered. He also delved into history, stating that the last time tariffs were as high (in 1930), we faced a…global economic downturn. Wow! As he discussed Musk, Colbert mentioned that the Wisconsin election was disheartening for Elon Musk. The audience applauded again. “Spending such a large sum just to watch it go up in flames,” said Colbert. “Now he knows what it’s like to buy a Tesla.” Zing! (Similar to a Tesla overheating.)

Kevin Bacon’s Gory Horror Comedy ‘The Bondsman’ Sputters Out After a Strong Start: TV Review

by

Hub’s latest project is filled with over-the-top gory scenes and introduces a vibrant array of eccentric characters. He already has a harshly Bostonian adversary, Lucky (Damon Herriman, delivering a regrettable Australian accent), who is his ex-wife’s current partner; now he also has a boss, Midge (Jolene Purdy), who collects souls for Satan alongside her home bakery. This blend of the sacred and the profane brings to mind “Preacher,” the AMC series that was itself an adaptation of a Garth Ennis comic from the ’90s. The creators, Grainger David and Erik Oleson (“Daredevil,” “The Man in the High Castle”), are developing their own concept but draw inspiration for the tone from another source.
