And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Fans unleash epic hate for The Last Airbender.

So I'm getting the impression that it's not very good.

Wow, huh. But I just watched it!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Don't want to rush to any conclusions.

move out and draw fire

I'm with amy...I've easily had two hours of entertainment from reading the reviews.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Side by side comparison: "Let The Right One In" vs. the American remake

Spoilers, obviously.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

To be fair, this scene is straight out of an episode (one of my least favorites, actually). The actual line belongs to Katara and goes, "Here's your chance, earthbenders! (She grabs a lump of coal and raises it high.) Take it! Your fate is in your own hands!" (Well, that's after she gives a minute-long inspirational speech. Because she's Katara.)

So the line may me bad, but the sentiment is the same.

Yes. It's not one of favorites either (even if it does have George Takei in it) but at least in the show, the Earthbenders were trapped on the steampunk version of an oil rig with no earth to bend readily available until Aang and co pulled the trick with the coal. Having them imprisoned on solid ground is just ridiculous.

Well, it involves the ancient martial art style called Kick-in-the-Nuts.

If you wanted to be truly brutal, you could go with the ninjutsu technique called "Monkey Steals the Peach."

I just busted out my spork-fu on him. We've disagreed on stuff before (he loves American Beauty and I walked out of it, for example), but saying Avatar sucked? Spork. Eye.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time. Some of these are delicious. And some (thank you Schwarzenegger) are lame. But it makes me want to have a festival of profanity.
