KKBB fanfiction. Heavy on the gay, but that's not all of it. "Noir Enough" was amazing.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Lady In the Water" started out good. Or interesting at least. Was curious to see where it'd go. Then M. Night appeared as the Glorious Writer Who Will Save The World, and my eyes rolled so hard I hurt myself, and then the movie became ridiculous. Practically every scene yanked me down from the suspension of disbelief I was trying so hard to keep aloft.
I fear what he will do with, or to, Avatar. It might be all right, though. He's a good director. As long as he doesn't write the script and he keeps his own heavy messages out of it, it could be good.

Are James Cromwell and M. Knight Shyamalan working on the same movie "Avatar"? Or are they two different movies?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
James Cameron, you mean? Two different movies.

Yes, Cameron.
Are they based on the same anime? Or is it just a coincidentally identical title?

Hey. New board.
The latter. "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" are different. The first one is about aliens and uses some cool CG techniques (read about it in the Times today). The second one is about a boy that is saving the world from a bunch of people that can manipulate fire using the power of martial arts. He does this by manipulating earth, wind, water, AND fire using different types of martial arts. Awesomely. Also, it has funny things and good characters, which the first one may or may not have.
And if M. Night Shymalan actually makes a live-action version of it, I will kick him in the nuts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our friend Andy is propmaster for the motion-capture part of the Cameron film, which is apparently a ginormous undertaking. The props in motion capture are all made as wire armatures of the outide dimensions. Very technical and cool.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I watched Miss Potter yesterday. Zellweger *was* less squinty than usual (but then, I've had a soft spot for her ever since I've first seen her in The Whole Wide World) and Ewan McGregor was utterly charming. Maybe it's because they've worked together before, but they had a nice unforced rapport together.
The movie itself was slight but quite pleasant, with gorgeous travelogue shots of the Lake District.

See, that sounds like a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
