I am breaking my hiatus to make a very important announcement

Look everyone, I just wanted to say that please do not spend your money to go watch The Last Airbender. Besides the whole [livejournal.com profile] racebending thing (and yes, I've been on their side for this whole debacle), the film itself is an affront to anybody who enjoys story and character and sense. Yes. SENSE.

It is so awful. I am not even joking. I've seen it. It is so awful. I can't even fathom encouraging people to just go and see how awful it is for themselves, because not only would I be encouraging people to torture themselves - that would increase its box office revenue, and if its box office is increased then that might mean we'll have to endure a sequel, and God, trust me, nobody wants that. You do not want that.

This movie currently has a 6% rating on rottentomatoes.com. Six. Percent. I've stated before that I'm all about forming my own opinions about a film, but seriously: SIX PERCENT. And I've seen it. Six percent is very fair. It really is that awful.

I had my issues with the series, but no, those are nothing compared to this atrocity. If you really, really need to see it, just watch the trailer. I promise you that those are the best moments the film has to offer. And then go watch the series again. Watch the episode you hate the most. I guarantee you it will still be 1000x better than The Last Airbender.

Back later

Ha Like it was going to be good.

So yeah, I rarely post comments on these types of things but I feel like for something like this, its okay to break tradition. First off I want to say WOW.. you survived with your brain cells intact, at least enough to write a warning. Your a trooper. HAH.

But everything said about this film is correct. There is such a lack of effort in its production, one can see it through the trailers blaring its fail in epic proportions. I swear off this movie just like I have done with Twilight and other such non sense Hollywood insists on making. This is sad because the story is already written. All they had to do was condense some stuff, cut out a couple of episode. I mean its right there from beginning to end. Character development, themes, plot, everything. Aw well I never had much faith in it from the beginning. Its M. Night his movies aren't that great to begin with. In fact I find this all kinda of funny. Like I can no longer take pain from this torture called Hollywood remakes. The only thing left for me now is to laugh in the face my offenders. In this case refuse to see this movie and convince as many people as I can to also take a stand.

I always look forward to your post. yea.

I know, God, all Shyamalan had to do was freaking SHOW UP
