I've been rewatching the original series as a sort of personal protest of the film, and to reassure myself that the show was awesome and stands on its own. Hopefully the movie will bomb so bad that they won't make a second one, and then they'll never get the chance to ruin my PRECIOUS TOPH, OMG. From what I've heard the movie has terrible dialogue, and most of the funny moments from the show are gone. And as I'm watching this wonderful show again, I keep thinking, "how could ANYONE think these characters are white?!"

The kids and I ...Oh, man, I totally agree with you. The kids and I agreed that we wouldn't watch the movie because the people in the cast just look wrong. We were SO disappointed with the casting because we LOVE the tv show. They had amazing writers working on there. They put so much depth into that cartoon and infused it with humor. There are so many talented actors they could have chosen. They ruined a good thing.Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-23782395296205770392010-07-15T13:54:20.830-04:002010-07-15T13:54:20.830-04:00I love the series.

And I haven't seen the movie, after such uber crappy reviews. <br /><br />Thanks to Cameron that he didn't allow Shyamalan to use Avatar as the name.Aniket Thakkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311954967682696734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-40913266300343068462010-07-09T17:22:40.071-04:002010-07-09T17:22:40.071-04:00Not a Shyamalan fan generally - there is something...Not a Shyamalan fan generally - there is something so dumbed down about his loftiness, if you catch my drift.ArtSparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875996639432864367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-17132603807593775312010-07-08T05:47:56.483-04:002010-07-08T05:47:56.483-04:00I had no idea the movie was based on an Asian stor...I had no idea the movie was based on an Asian story. That is such a crying shame. Unless we changed attitudes, minorities will continue to have a hard time breaking into both the movie and publishing business.Bisi Adjaponhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300907751582774883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-37538522826400939442010-07-07T15:24:08.669-04:002010-07-07T15:24:08.669-04:00Oh, I love this post so much!
The white-washing ...Oh, I love this post so much! <br /><br />The white-washing of this movie makes me livid. LIVID!<br /><br />And do you know what gets me really mad? How Shyamalan changed the pronunciation of Aang's and Sokka's names in the movie to reflect their Asian roots. What?! If you want this movie to reflect its Asian roots, then you should cast Asian actors! Gah! <br /><br />*Takes deep breath* Sorry about that rant. As an Asian-American, I'm just so disappointed by the casting of this film. And I'm really frustrated by all of the excuses that dismiss my concerns.Caroline Tung Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668185436035686911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595491177347226789.post-71436378379006811762010-07-06T08:57:06.296-04:002010-07-06T08:57:06.296-04:00argh I'm so sick of arguing with people about ...argh I'm so sick of arguing with people about how Avatar wasn't actually an Asian fantasy blabity blah. I just want to put up a sign whenever this happens and go UR ARGUMENTS R INVALID. But whatever. I hope this movie drops off the top 10 list by next week.
