We bring M. Night Shyamalan Week to an end here at the Super Duper Über Movie Fan Club with this video which I think shows just how much people hate The Last Airbender, even die-hard fans of the series. In fact, MOSTLY die-hard fans of the series. Everyone except the Twilight fans.
I don't know what any of the allusions the fans make are referring to, as I have not seen the original series. But these are the people that PAINTED THEIR FREAKING FACES for this movie and they came out furious. I have seen past "first fans" videos from ReelzChannel (which is a frustrating network) and almost always the reaction is enthusiastic. Like so:
The Last Airbender made good money in its first weekend, making $70.5 million since opening night last Wednesday. I foresee a dramatic fall-off in the second week, however, and I think it will take a miracle to get back its $150 million budget. I think I'm done with Shyamalan for a while now, and maybe forever if things go down the worst-case scenario route.
---------------------
Before I briefly promised that I would try and catch up on a few movies from the past few weeks, but alas that will not happen. I hope to have my Taxi Driver piece up by the end of the day as part of "My Summer of Scorsese". In the coming weeks I will likely be seeing Predators, and perhaps Despicable Me. However, I most look forward to Christopher Nolan's Inception which arrives a week from Friday.
