It sucks to be right. It sucks to be right.

Yesterday and today, Paramount screened The Last Airbender to Racebending.com for free as kind of an olive branch, and also to show us just how diverse the movie is--to prove us wrong. I'm a big bundle of emotions right now, I guess. Here's the conversation I had with Ken about the movie, since he is better at 'splainin feelings and stuff

Thanks very much for the write-up. (via mecurtin)

Thank you for writing this up, and for sitting through that mess. O_o

I have never seen a rating as low at Rotten Tomatoes as this movie got (6%). The LATimes reviewer compared the dialogue to "The Adventures of Spin and Marty" and Bullz-eye.com said, "Even in 3-D, it's one dimensional."

Thank you for sitting through this, so I don't have to worry about whether I should.

Is it true that the movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have evolved to control the elements? Ebert wrote that in his review and people are raging so hard but I'm also reading that he might have been joking for some reason.

And I can't believe they screened it for you! Did they just give you passes to a press/public screening or was it a ~private event~? At least you got to see it without breaking the boycott. :D

How can it possibly be even worse than we thought it would be? Oh, ugh, there's no way I'm taking my son to see this.
