    there is so much potential here. i really hope Shyamalan doesn't totally drop the ball like he did with his last two movies.

    Fun fact. Shamalyan is from my area. Signs was filmed just a few miles from my house.

    Also, I read in my local paper that he is doing some filming for "The Last Airbender" in the area as well. I'll try to find the article.

    EDIT: Found the article

    I weep for the prospects of this movie.

    M Night SHAMALAMANANAMNA is a horrible hack and every movie he's made since Sixth Sense has become progressively worse.

    His last movie was jaw-droppingly UNWATCHABLE.

    Hmmmm....Slumdog guy looks better than I thought. Didn't know he has a black belt. Still, he needs to shave his head.

    This was the best show I've seen in a long time. Last show I loved was Gargoyles. Before that, Transformers (G1). Maybe there will be something I'll like next decade. As for the movie, I really really hope it's good.

    Seems that Entertainment Tonight is going to have a first peek at the Last Airbender trailer that is attached to RotF on Monday June 22nd. Here's a link to the promo curiosity of Slashfilm:

    ET Last Airbender preview

    And if I might ask anyone who has seen RotF already did you also see the Airbender trailer? If anyone did, what was you impression of it, did it look any good?

    I'm cryin' tears of fail over here. :cry 


    I'm not a fan of the casting, but I am a pretty huge fan of the show. To be honest, I hope there's no Aang-Katara-Zuko-Mai in the movie. I sort of think it would be better without the ships (with the exception ofSokka and Iroh. You know they're gettin' it on with every lady that comes their way).

    Shamalamadingdong better make this movie worth my money.

    My cousin was asked to be a part of this movie as a lead Fire Nation fighting part.

    He turned it down to do an engineering job.

    Assif Mandvi is my hero for being in this movie. The teaser seemed a bit cheesey though. I have a feeling that it is going to be pretty good but I don't think the teaser did it justice. A whole minute of footage of Aang flipping a stick around does not a good teaser trailer make. Oh well, the set looked amazing. I just hope they can preserve some of the humor from the show.

    After watching that trailer and seeing all the pics and stuff, I can't but notice how accurate everything is so far to the cartoon...and yet people are still complaining? :lol 

    The people they've picked so far actually have experience with martial arts so it'll help them fit the roll better. And hell, as far as I'm concerned, the kid they got for Aang is a perfect fit for his season one self. This movie, if it actually sticks close to the source material...which to be honest it seems to be doing pretty well...should turn out as great as the actual cartoon itself. Especially if they plan to make it into a franchise film.

    Interesting. Kinda disappointed that they didn't use any music from the source. Would have been awesome to hear some of the music they use in the show's opening in the teaser.
