I was not particularly impressed by Sam Worthington in Terminator.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That is... not at all the same Avatar I was thinking of before I read through.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
amych, that's why the Avatar movie has to be called The Last Airbender.
And that plot summary is about what we've known all along, isn't it? I knew the general sort of Avatar concept thing-ish. I think.

A-ha! I didn't even know about that -- I'm so used to hearing it talked about (generally as "the Avatar movie") but haven't seen much coming from official channels. So I actually got about halfway through the Cameron-Avatar blurb going "... combat dudes transported to an alien planet? And, what, then they meet Aang there? I knew he was taking some liberties, but..."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh - the first I heard of Avatar was when I was recounting for DH some of the fandom response to the racial casting of the Airbender movie (but calling it "Avatar" because that's what it's called by everyone on the entire internet everywhere). It took us AGES to figure out what the hell we were actually talking about.

YES! I am not crazy, then! or, not for that, at least.

For further reassurance, see my current tag! [from the surprisingly good conclusion to an otherwise very mediocre lecture series on biology and behavior I've just finishes listening to]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My friend Andy is doing props on it (and has been for literally a year) and I can vouch that the crew t-thirts call it "Avatar."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Grumbles about how there is only one Avatar (the Last Airbender, yo) and also how there is no need for a live-action movie of it as the animated series is perfection.
Offa my lawn!
