M. Night... You have my attention. Keep 'em coming.

So is this series good at all? Sell me on it.

M. KNIGHT SHAMMALLAMADINGDONG MUST BE DEAD BY NEXT YEAR FOR THIS ABORTION!

The cartoon is actually really good, and gets really serious towards the end...but I just don't see it being a good movie. Dunno...would gladly be happy if it proved me wrong.

Well, at least the kid looks like Aang, so it's got that over that shitty Dragonball movie.

Gotta admit I thought the idea was excessive, and I thought the choice of director was even more ridiculous. But maybe he's a fan? Perhaps he really wanted to do it. We'll see.

So after Slumdog Millionaire this was the only role to come across Dev Patel?

The topic doesn't interest me. Not really familiar with it.

Anyways, Shaymalan is awful.

Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are incredible movies. I was one of the split-pot that loved Signs too.

The Village was a massive dissapointment, and Lady in the Water and The Happening are two atrociously awful movies.
Don't know what happened there, but one of the most promising filmmakers of a generation has declined into one of the worst.

I don't see this as a big comeback, but I also don't see how it can get any worse for him. He's at rock bottom. Maybe making kids movies is his new niche.

Why do directors do well when their kids pressure them into taking a project?

I bet Pier 1 made a fortune by selling all of those candles.

That....actually doesn't look half bad, as far as teasers go.

Also: that big animal of his is in, BTW.

Awesome. Flying giant six-legged buffaloes FTW.

A mate of mine is working for Weta on Avatar. That's all I know :(

Weta's on it? Nice.

I am not looking forward to this movie.

I'm not one to like anything resembling Anime but I have to say the show is really tight. Addictive, simple, and pretty intelligent

I avoided watching this show. Now, I have wiki'd it and am intrigued enough to start looking for some episodes.

I avoided it for a long time as well, until one of my friends practically shoved it down my throat. The show, I mean, not....never mind.

Anyway, the first season starts out pretty kiddy (since it was meant to be a kids' show, after all), until about halfway through when the writers realized that they were getting more fans in their teens and twenties, and started writing the show along those lines instead (while still keeping it family-friendly). The plot's fun, the characters are fairly interesting, the fights are awesome, and the humor is actually funny.

I don't want to hype it up too much, since the movie might suck, but still, you could do a lot worse than to check out the show.

That feeback literally came out of Nowhere, Man.

couldn't resist

My roommate was hardcore into this show and I watched a bunch of episodes with him last year. It's pretty good for "gay china man cartoons" as my other roommate would say. Zuko's character progression and the entire third chapter are insane.

LOL

Terminator Salvation just got usurped for having the most badass movie trailer.

Sorta sounds like a derogatory gay term.

cannot WAIT for this movie. loved the series surprisingly, kid show, but still pretty entertaining for adults as well.

I'm going to use it as such now.

It's sad how James Cameron's "masterpiece" prompted them to remove "Avatar" from the movie's title.

We'll live.

Yours are a strong people.

Anyone see this yet? Word on the steet is that it's the worst movie of the year.

That's what I've been reading.

Everyone's better off catching the cartoon.
