Okay seriously guys I'm going to be blunt...this charade has gone on long enough. It's not funny that you guys keep pretending that The Last Airbender no longer exists. Is it a bad movie? Yes. Did Shyamalan fail at this? Yes. But why pretend it doesn't exist when it is so much more fun to knock it? Get over it. Bad movies are made all the time, this one just happened to gain worldwide release.

Then don't participate and just ignore and move on. Why spoil our fun?

Oh, I get it. You're a funny guy - trying to fool us that it exists, and that it's terrible. We're too clever for you this time.

Churbs, what are even you commenting on? Man, it's like the whole world is going crazy.
There are only two things I'm sure of anymore: I exist, and there has never been and will never be a live-action adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
It was great, I enjoyed. It was as much about the making of the comic as it was about the movie. It's really interesting because there are a lot of instances they talk about where the making of the film actually influenced the writing of the books.

Just watched all of the original Gone in 60 Seconds for the first time. Just the most amazing car chase of all time. It's really too bad you could never do something like that again these days.
You don't know the meaning of the word "chase", I see.
It's a different kind of chase, but still better.
I'm still counting it as a chase. He meets a girl, so he was technically a car chasing a skirt. And they did it illegally, in one take, on open streets, in excess of 120MPH. Gone In Sixty Seconds is awesome, but C'etait un Rendezvous will always be my favorite.
EDIT: Chase aside, it's still not that impressive. 40 minute scene > 8 minute scene.
Gone In Sixty Seconds had closed roads and choreography. C'etait un Rendezvous had a guy with a Benz and an 8mm in Paris traffic in broad daylight, drifting and moving in excess of 100MPH. The pure skill wins the award of "Most Impressive" in my book. Also, the fact that it's set to nothing but a screaming Ferrari engine and squealing tires is helpful, too.
EDIT: Yeah, this needed a second post. That is just how much I fucking love C'etait un Rendezvous. It's like if you boiled every Steve McQueen film ever down into eight minutes' worth of pure McQueen essence and injected it right into your eyeballs.
Seriously though, where is the humor in that shtick? I don't mean to be a humorless twat, but I would really like to know. Or is it one of those things wherein the humor cannot be explained, and is it just spontaneously funny?

You should check out the BMW short films with Clive Owen. Very enjoyable car chases directed by many famous directors and played with famous actors.
I bought the DVD a while ago but losted it. -_____-
I just came very close to death. This isn't funny. I really almost choked to death on pumpkin cake. It's not a joke. Stop laughing. It happened while watching Black Dynamite. Pumpkin cake went into my trachea, cutting of the precious supply of oxygen to my organs. Can you imagine the consternation this might have caused the poor coroner? He would have stumbled to my computer desk and found a fat, blue-faced man in boxer shorts with cinnamon crumbles spilling from his dead mouth.
"Black dynamite, can I get you anything?" "You can get me some of that ass."

Oh wow I forgot about the BMW short films. We used to watch those in college and they were so entertaining. I remember Guy Ritchie filmed one that I particularly liked.
I was given the original Gone in 60 Seconds as a gift by mistake back when the remake came out. I didn't even know it was a remake, I just wanted to see it. Best mistake ever. It was so good I decided to just completely pass on the Nicholas Cage version.

The cage version is worth it. The rest of the movie is utter pants, but in a so bad it's good way, but the Eleanor Chase is pretty fucking good, and takes up a good 20 minutes.
Watched Slither with Nathan Fillion. Like the beginning of Zombieland, I had to stop watching the movie because I was eating at the same time.
*shudders* Haven't had a movie that grossed me out in ages.
Also watch The Majestic with Jim Carrey. Very enjoyable. I teared a bit when he made his awesome speech during the Senate investigation. Probably one of his better serious roles that he's done.
Okay, here's a message to movie composers... stop recycling music from previous films! John Murphy's track Kanada's Death from Sunshine, an amazingly emotional and heroic scene. Used in Kickass, when Hit Girl attacks the lumber mill. But as I paid for and often listen to the Sunshine soundtrack, they are now linked in a really weird way.

I agree. Not enough people composing original scores these days.
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, original scores make for the win.

Oh no, there's plenty of original music in the movie. Or if it wasn't specially written for this movie, I don't recognize it, and it fits superbly. There was just a few pieces I recognize from elsewhere.

Also, Megamind is fantastic!
