According to the article I linked to, Chinese fans themselves are unhappy with the censorship of the scene, especially for the "official" reason given: that <strong>audience members might distract other patrons by reaching out to touch Kate's Golden Globes</strong>. I don't know Ms. Winslet personally, but based on every interview I've ever seen or read, I feel pretty confident that she found the censors' reasoning just as funny as I did. ;^) Thanks for the comment, Katy, but I’m not sure who you are referring to when you say the “You guys are all major perverts.” According to the article I linked to, Chinese fans themselves are unhappy with the censorship of the scene, especially for the “official” reason given: that audience members might distract other patrons by reaching out to touch Kate’s Golden Globes.

This is a true romantic scene that in it's early days was juged fairly for it's artistic quality NOT NUDITY! Come on people if you want boobs and buts just buy a playboy magazine but for you to write something like this you must be embarassing Ms. Winslet herself. I agree with the people of China times have changed and people don't know how to appreciate good art. This movie is not some sex chick-flick and I am really dissapointed in how uneducated out society is. You guys are all major perverts.

I think the Flash player looks a little better in a standard browser, but the functionality of the HTML5 is superior. I really like the way all the share buttons come up at the end.

I'm used to that but it sure is nice to know right away that it's a soundcloud player with the html5 version.

Unbelievable! Apparently it's stressful the world over too... who would have thought. Good luck with Astor Piazzola, I hope at least he can carry a tune.

You'll be able to get a double fix if you're coming here by way of the Danish capital, because there's a Starbucks in the Copenhagen airport as well! If you end up in Malmö on one of the weekend days and fancy meeting a "local" expat, drop me a line. I'd be happy to meet you at Starbucks! Cheers! --Shazz Glad to help!

And YAHOO! Thank you for the update! I'm visiting an expat friend in London, and we are taking a 3 night trip to Copenhagen-with a one day trip to Malmo. Not sure of the Malmo day, but we'll be in Copenhagen April 13-16th. Thank you again! Moved to Kiev last year from Moscow. Lots of Starbucks in Moscow, but none in Kiev. I have to say, there are some good coffee cafe's here in Kiev though! :-) Hi again! And YAHOO!
