Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH loved Unbreakable. Me, not. I did love Sixth Sense, which I found on rewatch to be a totally different film, one about a scared kid very kindly helping a poor deluded dead guy move on.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
io9 reviews The Last Airbender: M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy
And The Last Airbender is a lavish parody of big-budget fantasy epics. It's got everything: the personality-free hero, the nonsensical plot twists, the CG clutter, the bland romance, the new-age pablum. No expense is spared — Shyamalan even makes sure to make fun of distractingly shitty 3-D, by featuring it in his movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
damn.
I guess we found the summer "hit" that critics have been waiting to trash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, but you need to quote this bit:

Katara says my favorite line ever, "We need to show them that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in their beliefs."

"You will be finding chunks of Joseph Campbell's calcified spooge behind your ears for three days after watching this film, no matter how many times you bathe."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've come to a place where I'm... kinda grateful, actumally. I was so angry about the casting, and so worried about the fact that Shyamalan was doing the film, but damn if the reviews haven't given me way more than two hours of entertainment.

I know, right?

I feel uneasy about being schadenfreudey, in case there's another shoe to drop, but what could it be?
