Netizens pissed over Avatar's removal
Unsurprisingly, it seems like a lot of people are pretty upset over the fact that Avatar 2D was kicked out of theaters to make room for Chow Yun Fat's new Confucius biopic. Even though the State censorship committee is making excuses like "Avatar 2D box office sales are declining" and "we didn't formally do anything to force Avatar off screens" (i.e. there's no proof), it looks like nobody believes them: In fact, some netizens were so angry that they're thinking of boycotting Confucius. Needless to say, that's not very Confucian of them, but since we're pretty annoyed ourselves, we're in support.
