Happy Canada Day to all fellow Canadians! I am totally meeting up with friends and stealing Cody away from his shift for a lunch break. Woo!

BBQ last night at deitysend's place. It kicked ass!

Last Airbender tomorrow... Whatever teeny tiny hopes I had for the movie are pretty well gone after reading a few reviews from people who have seen it already. Roger Ebert gave it half a star, and rotten tomatoes gave it 7% (even Twilight got 50%, so that's pretty damn bad). And, of course, racefail and genderfail abound!

God, this is going to suck. Oh well, I'll be with friends. It'll be fun.

ETA: If you ignore the beginning scene with the girls in cosplay, this video pretty much spells out the ATLA fan reaction I'm seeing on the 'net for the movie.

Oddly enough, most of the people I have talked to actually enjoyed the movie. Most of them also went in expecting DBZ Evolution, but yeah. *shrug* It'll be pretty.

I guess you're probably right about the pretty. XD That's something.

I'm just bracing myself for bad dialogue, poor pacing, and lack of character development. Bleh.

hahahha homg I love Angry Fat Guy. He NEEDS to have his own channel where he just screams Aang.

[silverthunder]

I know! :D He was so awesome! I showed this video to the friends I'm going to see the movie with tonight. We all agree it's going to be cracktacular and look forward to mocking it by the end. You'll be hearing about that on this journal, too.

We're not even going to see it now. Once I told him that Roku and Suki were out he wanted none of it.

You are better off. There was absolutely nothing good about it whatsoever. I don't even know where to start on just how much fail it was. It was just... wow. Wow.

Ick.

I got a "removed by the user" message for the video. Is it posted elsewhere?

[silverthunder]

Yup, found a new link!

Psh, I think at least Jay and myself will like it! ;P But of course going in not expecting anything and knowing little if not nothing about the Avatar Universe will help!
