You say "Awful!" I say "Sequel will be even better!"

Avatar the Last Airbender fans are... less than complimentary towards The Last Airbender live-action film.

hahah holy crap!
I mean fans are usually harsh anyway, but wow.
Think I'll wait for the DVD.

Get it as a gift. I wouldn't want you paying money for it.

That makes me a very sad person. The last trailers were tricking me into thinking that M might have actually managed it.

Oh, live action adaptations (cough Dragonball cough) of cartoons almost never work, James. You should know that by now.

Okay. Let me see...An Asian Horror Movie Director, who's kids love the cartoon of the Last Airbender. They ask him to make the movie. He does (that's just what dad's do). He's Asian, so the lead character is AHng, not AAAYING. (Evidently, the lead singer of Blues Traveler has issue with that) The female warriors that take an entire season of sub-plot are cut out of this movie for time/plot constraints and fan-chick has to take off her costume? (that's just what fan chicks do) Crazy bald guy with blue arrow on head wonders if Night has seen the cartoon...probably not as many times as you have, Zippy. Costumed fans complain that the two hour movie of multi-season t.v. show has stuff cut out of it. Seriously. At the same time, Twilight freaks that have wandered into the wrong theater wonder why the entire back story was not spelled out for you. AND WHERE WAS THE FLYING LEMUR-MONKEY-BAT THING FROM THE CARTOON!? Apparently, there are rules about stapling bat stuff onto lemurs. Go figure. Still, if you can get an albino yak with a beaver tail to fly, I don't think a monkey bat would be too hard; it IS integral to the plot.

Will I see it...probably. Will I dress as a blind earth bender...uh, no. How old are we people?
