THE LAST AIRBENDER Wins Five Awards

Unfortunately for M. Night, they're Razzies.

(If you haven't seen TLA, by the way, be sure to get the RiffTrax for it. It may be your only hope of survival.)

Well, duh. Although their ballots usually are filled with true losers. As a dedicated fan of the animated series upon which it is based, I solemnly swear that I tried to watch the live-action movie, I really tried. It was wretched.

I gave up about ten minutes in. Sokka's antics and slapsticky bad luck just do not translate to the big screen. Apparently neither did Katara's agency or Aang's personality, from the little I saw.

Certainly not with M. Night writing them. The one thing the guy does not translate to the screen is anything resembling a sense of humor. Heath Ledger's Joker was matched against Batman, but "Why so serious?" was coined for M. Night.

I have to agree with her doing a decent job there, but considering the role, I think Kate Winslet would have gotten a Razzie.
