In Cora's defense, she was going by what Kid said in her letters. The fact that she didn't know what really happened on the Outcast is by no means her fault. If Kid said that she was having fun there, what reason would Cora have to doubt her? I don't know about thick skin, it's more a matter...

Yep, it's 70 years after the end of the current series. Which would put Aang at 82ish. But then since they made clear that the Avatar is reincarnated that means that a new Avatar isn't born until after the death of the previous Avatar. So if this new Avatar is in her teens then Avatar Aang would...

Nickelodeon sets `Last Airbender' sequel for 2011 - Yahoo! News Working title is "The Legend of Korra" and it's from the same creators. Not much information beyond that, alas. I just finished watching Book 1 myself, will be picking up Book 2 this week. Hopefully they can breathe new life into...

I'd classify it more as ignorant than insensitive. Intention has nothing to do with it since these were not random comments said without thought or care. To Cora life outside of the farm is an adventure, at least compared to the tedium of her country life. So basically it's not that she doesn't...

What would any teenager outside of a war-zone know of war? All Cora knows is that Francesca got out of their podunk town, something she is obviously very envious of. As for Mary's reaction, it's hard to say. Her expression in the last panel suggests a beat-down is imminent, but it's not...

According to wikipedia, CTHD made $128million in the U.S., which is indeed a very impressive figure for a film that cost $17million to make. Unfortunately that would not be as good a result for a film that cost $150million to make. The general calculus as I understand it is that a film generally...

Also consider that she was allowed to bring her son with her on a mission, something I doubt the 'rank and file' troops would be allowed to do.

Particularly in this case when it doesn't really add anything and it has a negative effect on the picture quality. They really need to be more careful about this as bad 3D in films has the potential to kill the technology before it can take hold. I don't think that's necessarily unfair, however...

Look I'm not a fan of the 'white-washing' either, but I think that's a bit much to say they 'hate the chinese'. (and why just the Chinese? what about the rest of Asia?) I don't think the changes were made out of malice, but cowardice. The reality is that when you spend $150 million on...

And the show was based on Asian culture, but changed it to suit it's wants/needs. So the movie goes back to the same source as the show and goes in a slightly different direction. That's the type of thing you can do when you do an adaptation.

So you're saying she should have done something that wouldn't have succeeded rather than something that would work? Zuko had the advantage on her and he had the sense to set fire to the grass so he would have had more than one source of flame. So he basically took into account that strategy and...

That's just for the opening day. Estimated figures for the weekend box office won't be available until late Sunday with final figures appearing on Monday.

Technically the movie is actually using the proper pronunciations of these asian-inspired names. The TV series actually 'americanizes' the pronunciation.

Strange thing about war, we have a tendency to want to blame the enemy for everything. It can often be a lot easier than dealing with the cruel reality.

Well the ones that aren't up in arms because they didn't cast enough Asians in the lead roles. So while she's trying to move enough water up to his location to his location to make sure she extinguishes all the flames, Zuko is supposed to be sporting or something and not try and burn her face...

Not necessarily, the "vibe" can come from a place like this as well. Unless you're saying that everyone's opinion here is based solely on what is written by film critics, which I kind of doubt. Now I did end up seeing this film last night with some friends, and I have to say that while it...

Well, hell, why even bother with a rain coat in Louisiana? You're gonna get wet no matter what.

hmmm, I don't put much stock in film reviews as a rule. If I want to see something, I'll see it. But my desire to see a film can be affected by the general vibe surrounding it. In this case it seems the the vibe is so universally negative that it is draining my desire to see this film. The fact...

Rain? In LA? If it rained in Southern California then LA wouldn't have to import it's water from Colorado...

I'm not sure about the costume as it's kinda hard to get past the fact that she looks like a male bodybuilder in drag in that picture. As for her new costume, I find it interesting that they make a point of 'covering her up' but they still give her pretty huge breasts for a strong, athletic...
