Oh, dear god....

I'm 15 minutes into The Last Airbender Movie. What a pile of dross XD

Hilarious dross, but dross nonetheless.

Now, I've loved Dev Patel ever since "Skins", but the rest of the cast is horrible. I am hitting the recreational hating hard. And all the exposition talk is so ham-fisted and awkward.

I mean, you guys warned me. But, mannnnnn... some of you must've been crushed this turned out so shit XD.

EDIT: OH MY GOD, AASIF MANDVI IS COMMANDER ZHAO, YE GODS, I CAN'T... I'M PISSING XDDDD
WHY DID THEY MAKE THE FIR NATION MILDLY INDIAN IN SEMI-JAPANESE ARMOUR, IF I MAY ASK? WHY IS AANG CLEARLY A WHITE KID FROM A FLY-OVER STATE? WHY IS SOKKA THE UNFUNNIEST BIT OF SPOILSPORT THAT EVER WAS AND A VAMPIRE?
I'M PISSING XDDDD AASIF. I EXPECT HIM TO GO "JOHN!" ANY SECOND :D

And they're pronouncing EVERYTHING wrong. is it too much to ask to actually watch teh bloody show?
Aahhng, AHvatar, SOHka, Uncle Eeeh-roh, and Agni Keeeeh Duel...

EDIT LE DEUX: BILLY CONOLLY! WILL THE FUNNY NEVER STOP?!?!?! (except for that bit where I haven't laughed ONCE when teh movie might have intended me to. It is as entertaining as watchin bread grow mould)

I really, really, really wanted John Stewart or John Oliver to show up at the end of the movie and congratulate Aasif on his infiltration of the Fire Nation. And in my head they did.

The version on this movie that I hallucinated while in the theater is actually quite a hilarious farce. It's quite sad that everyone else in the theater had to watch the real version. I just don't know how you make a more horrible movie. They screwed up the writing, the plot lines, the characterization, the casting, the location choices, the CG choices, the angles, the lighting, the music. How do you screw up everything? How? I am still baffled. I'm glad you're enjoying all the bad though. :) You're a silver lining type a girl, aren't you?

Takin' a huge bite out of the silver sandwhich, mah gurl. :D
Zuzu taught me well.

I was running my own head-canon, as well. I've also devised he driest drinking game in the history of 16 year-olds and tequila by decreeing that there shall be drinking every time Soak-ah smiles, and chucking when he cracks a joke.

:rofl: I know I know I know!!! As soon as I saw the previews and how they were pronouncing everyone's name I just decided not to put myself through seeing the movie! And Aang, I COMPLETELY agree with you! Doesn't even look SLIGHTLY like him!!!! I did cry, I was crushed. It was an absolutely HORRIBLE moment for the true lovers of the show. They had a private screening of the movie before it came out and the audience booed M. Night Shamylon OFF the stage!!!

This! Just, this, haha. :faint: :giggle: That movie was so unbelievably painful, especially after waiting for a long time for it to come out as a fan of the show and having foolishly high hopes, haha. Also, on a side note, one of the saddest things is what M. Night did to Aang's character- I was stunned when I saw this behind the scenes video [link] , where Noah Ringer is basically the personification of goofy, adorable Aang (he even plays jokes on people!), which was completely missing/ squashed out of him in the movie. I think he smiles, like, once in the film? Anyway, watching that video you get why they cast him, and even more why it's M. Night's fault as an absolutely horrific director for making the movie so terribly in every possible way, lol. /my two cents :D

The Fire Nation peeps were really the only ones I was okay with. XD Aasif Mandvi, Shaun Toub, and Dev Patel = EPIC.

Noah Ringer wasn't too terrible, though, for a kid who's never been in movies before. At least he did most of his own stunts. :D

Other than that...YES. CRUSHED. INTO TINY PIECES. With a tiny bit of optimism. XD
