yeah both posters were made presumably by the studio in the us, and are used in all markets. to be honest I've only seen the other poster around shanghai and i never saw this one until i saw tweets claiming this.

heres a tweet with pics from cinemas/etc. the movie apps like douyin/maoyan also use the other poster without chang chen.

One more nightmare scenario on my list of going to a theme park (let alone one in China during a panedmic): imagine you go to disneyland on a weekend and while you're in there having fun with the teacup ride or whatever, you are told you can't leave until thousands of people are tested and you better be negative or YOU WILL NEVRE LEAVE (kd they'll probably put you in a quarantine hospital if you test positive - that is, if you can last enough until they test you cause that's a poo poo show too apparently).

new thought: squid game experience - only at the cost of a disneyland day pass!

TOKYO (Reuters) -- A 24-year-old man dressed in the costume of Batman's Joker attacked passengers on a Tokyo train line on Sunday evening, injuring 17 people as many partygoers headed into the city center for Halloween gatherings, media reported.

Police arrested the suspect on the spot, media reported. A man believed to be in his 60s was unconscious and in critical condition after being stabbed, while witnesses also said the attacker had spread fluid around the train and started a fire, according to media.

One video uploaded on Twitter showed a steady stream of people running away from a train car where, seconds later, a blaze lit up. Another video showed passengers rushing to squeeze out of the train's windows and onto the platform where the train had made an emergency stop.

"I thought it was a Halloween stunt," one witness told the Yomiuri newspaper, recalling the moment he saw other passengers running in a panic toward his train car. "Then, I saw a man walking this way, slowly waving a long knife." There was blood on the knife, he said.

Another video on Twitter showed a bespectacled man dressed in a purple suit and bright green shirt, as worn by the Joker, seated in an empty train puffing on a cigarette, his legs crossed and looking calm. He can be seen through the window being surrounded by law enforcement in a subsequent clip.

Local media reported later that the suspect told authorities he "wanted to kill people so he could be sentenced to death."

The attack occurred on the Keio express line bound for Shinjuku, the world's busiest rail station, at around 8 p.m. (1100 GMT), media said.

Partial service on the Keio line remained suspended late on Sunday, when Japanese voters went to the polls in a lower house election.

My Chinese neighbor was telling me the other day that his parents had called and were complaining that the price of cabbage had doubled. He was certain that this more than anything else was the sign of an economy in trouble.

To be fair, he's more of a doomsayer than anyone in this thread. He's currently trying to buy a shirt with the KMT map of China on it, which is what I guess Chinese edgelords do when they're safely out of the reach of the CCP.

drat. I'm surprised I can't hear the sound of complaining aunties from here.

I thought old dudes were going to burn Korea to the ground when the price of soju went up ten cents.

E: Does legitimately suck for a lot of people though. So much of China is so poor that cabbage prices going up five cents is actually a serious problem. This is one of those areas where I think the Party is aware enough of uh, their own history to understand the potential consequences of starving peasants and will do something about it.
