The Last Airbender


While sitting through the trailers before Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I was forced to endure a preview for G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Now: there was a lot they could have done with this movie. The source material, of course, are plastic action figures that haven’t been en vogue for twenty-years. Still, at it’s core, G.I. Joe is a about elite military agents battling terrorism. In a sense, that’s still what this movie is about, but the producers decided to throw in some crap about Accelerator Suits and metal-dissolving acid missiles.
I don’t feel like talking about that. I feel like talking about the possible redemption of M. Shaylan.. Shaoulin… Shama-lama-ding-dong Night I saw the trailer for The Last Air

bender. It starts off like your stereotypical kung-fu flick with a kid practicing his moves surrounded by all these candles, and he’s blowing them out with the force of his blows. Typical stuff. Then it pans out to show the temple he’s in is being overrun by ninja dudes climbing up a cliff-side. A lot of dudes. Like, a lot of lot of dudes. Then it pans out more to show ships bringing in even more dudes by sea. Then more ships. And then more. Then some of the ships and firing flaming balls by catapult. Good stuff.
