From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

That's 2Password2Remember, they sign off every comment that way. It's surprisingly relevant a lot of the time, though: America has had an almost unrivaled hand in shaping the economic landscape of Japan, from the San Francisco Treaty to the Plaza Accords

Japan is an American corporation

You joke, but Japan hasn't even been allowed to have their own military since WWII. They barely are a separate nation.

"Death to America" is like our version of "and peace be with you." It's a nice phrase to say at the end of every statement.
