Mmmmm, my ding-ding-dong.
Best. Icon. Evar.
I've started posting on my art journal again ( missartsypants ). I deleted what little I had on there and just posted, so check it out if you feel like it. DEW EET!!
Iron Man comes out tomorrow. Who else is excited?! I'm not much into comics, but Iron Man is one of my favorite superheroes next to Gambit and Frisky Dingo. I really hope this movie is worth the current price of movie tickets. I shall be disappointed and ten dollars short if it isn't.
I still don't know if I'm happy that Avatar: The Last Airbender is being made into a live-action movie trilogy directed by M. Night Shyamalan. There are just so many things wrong with that sentence... Why does it have to be a trilogy? (I'm really, really starting to hate the trilogy-trend. Besides, aren't there FOUR books?) Why can't it be animated? What's wrong with traditional, hand-drawn animation? All I see are live-action movies or computer animated films.
I love traditional animation. I was so sad when Fox, Warner Bros., and even DISNEY had SHUT DOWN their traditional animation departments to focus solely on computer animation. I like computer animation and all, but all these films seem the same to me. The story usually focuses on anthromorphic figures that go through some trials before finding a resolution and living life happily ever after. I'm tired of children's films with the same rehashed framework. A lot of them aren't even that good, whether with the animation or storyline. It's disappointing.
The ironic thing is that Pixar, who I consider to be the best computer animation studio, even though I don't like all of their films, is starting a traditional animation studio to revive the fading art.
The good thing about all this is that Disney reopened its traditional animation studio and is going to be releasing the movie The Princess and the Frog in 2009. :D
Back to Avatar, I just don't know. I don't think M. Night Shyamalan is such a good choice for director. The only movie of his I liked was The Sixth Sense, and a lot of that was due to Bruce Willis. 'Cause he's awesome. All I've ever seen him do are thriller movies. Avatar is so far apart from that genre.
My biggest peeve is the fact that I just know the main characters are going to be white. There's no way everyone is going to be Asian like they're supposed to be. (Not to mention Shyamalan will most likely insert himself somewhere and he's definitely not Asian.) Damn you Hollywood and your ignorance of Asian-American actors!
... I'm probably going to go see it anyway. I just know when the commercials come out I'm going to squee like the Avatar fangirl I am.
I don't know if I should see Twilight or not. I hate the series, but the movie might just be horribly funny enough to be worth it.
