Florence Pugh's nude Oppenheimer scene censored in some countries with 'best ever CGI'
The release of Oppenheimer has got off to a box office success, but fans in some countries have been left feeling cheated after a nude scene with Florence Pugh was censored with CGI. On 21 July, the highly-anticipated Christopher Nolan film was released in movie theatres drawing millions of people around the world to cinemas. The film about the “father of the atomic bomb” stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr and Florence Pugh. Pugh, who played the character Jean Tatlock, was pictured after a sex scene sitting naked on a sofa having a conversation with Oppenheimer, played by Murphy.

To ensure the film would be classified in the U/A category, Universal Pictures made an edit to the Indian version of the film by placing a dress over Pugh to shield the nudity. One user joked: “The best ever CGI work in India award goes to the Indian censor board for Florence Pugh's black dress in Oppenheimer.” But, others pointed out that it wasn’t only India that screened the censored version of the film. According to other Twitter users, the same CGI-edited version was also played in cinemas in Indonesia, Pakistan and the Middle East. Another claimed: “In Malaysia, they deleted both 1st and second sex scenes because they didn't add anything to the plot (it was an R rated movie, I paid to see that). “But they couldn't delete this scene because it's important to the plot so they choose to cover her.” Someone else suggested that in Nepalese cinemas, the Pugh nude scene was simply cut altogether, without them realising the significance it had on the rest of the film. According to figures, Oppenheimer’s domestic opening weekend made a gross of $83m (£64.75m). Have your say in our news democracy.

Man desperate for love uses Taylor Swift tickets to get date
A single man went to extreme measures on Tinder to try and secure a date – by showing off his spare Taylor Swift ticket. The screenshot of the profile was shared online, which showed a webpage of him in the queue for pre-sale tickets for the Sydney show. "Need a date for Taylor, thought I better start looking," he wrote in his Tinder bio. Diehard fans flooded the post volunteering for tribute, with many calling it "genius." One person wrote: "Even if his plan was to murder me, I would simply ask for him to wait until after (the concert). A win is a win." A third added: "May have to resort to this to be fair." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Meanwhile, others weren't too impressed with the singleton's creative approach... "It's so cute when they think we're stupid," one person wrote, highlighting that his screenshot did not necessarily mean he had gotten his hands on the tickets. It comes after pre-sale tickets went live last week for Swift's hotly-anticipated tour – and fans were understandably nervous, birthing a string of memes online. Earlier this year, Ticketmaster was forced to apologise to Taylor Swift and her fans after its website crashed. "We apologise to the fans. We apologise to Ms Swift. We need to do better, and we will do better," Live Nation president Joe Berchtold told a Senate judiciary committee. Senator Democratic Richard Blumenthal jumped in, referencing Swift’s hit 'Anti-Hero': "Ticketmaster should look in the mirror and say ‘I’m the problem, it’s me." While Democratic US senator Amy Klobuchar, chair of the Senate antitrust committee referenced the song 'All Too Well' and Republican Senator Mike Lee took a line from Swift's hit 'Blank Space' to share his thoughts on limiting ticket reselling: "A lot of people seem to think that’s somehow a solution, I think it’s a 'nightmare dressed like a daydream'".
