If it's crap... We'll tell you

The Last Airbender

This upcoming movie release will suck huge. Caucasian heroes + Middle Eastern Villains = Epic Fail.

Oh well...
I guess that gives us a year until the franchise dies.

This Washington Post article should have killed production.

As if the MANAA blog and the East West Player Letter was not enough.

But, then again,
I could have sworn that Jackon Rathbone's comment would have stopped production...

"I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan," Rathbone told MTV.com, presumably just before his publicist sat him down for a chat about political correctness. "It's one of those things where, hopefully, the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit."

Washington Post replies,
"But the only thing some fans will suspend are their plans to see the movie when it opens in summer 2010"

HAHA!
more articles and blogs here.

Update:
Protesters from the New York Casting Call in February
reported that the casting director are casting around the race of the lead roles chosen,
so this is how the tribes will break down:
Water Tribe = White People
Fire Nation = Middle Eastern People
Earth Nation = "Asian" People
Air Nation = White People

There is no fire nation threat. What I am interested in seeing is where is Suko's mom. You know answer the last question that the series left.; ▶ Reply to This

M. Night Shyamalan's name is on it.
