Maybe this has been posted before..I dunno..

it's late and i'm tired..

I was surprised to read about this tho, as I never really watched the cartoon, but thought the movie looked pretty interesting. Looks like some people are up in arms, because it got the Hollyweird (Dragonball Z) treatment

 

:roll:

 

Yeah, it was mentioned somewhere on here.

Funny thing is, Japan does the same thing, though, kinda, when it comes to anime. Characters with "White/Western" features. Characters with blonde hair, blue eyes n' shit. Characters are pretty much white people with Japanese names. :smt042 But they're the original creators of their product, so they can do whatever. I also hear that plastic surgery is big in Japan. Mufuckas getting cheeks done, eyes made to look bigger, grills fixed(although, that's understandable), and other shit. Like Cedric the Entertainer said, "people gettin' they eyebrows rotated n' shit." It's ridiculous. But meh, I just went off on some whole differnt thing.

 

Like BA said its what people do culturally. Youtube Indian Superman, its funny as hell but all the same elements are there.. We shape heroes to look like us. I could care less its a movie. Truthfully I don't understand why minorites just don't make their own movies with the characters they want. They had no problem keeping Lui Kang Asian and it did well or Blade black and that did well so there are no more excuses.

 

Iran leads the world in nose job surgeries.

 

I don't know man... M night is a non white dude too....guess he wants to appeal to white America

 

He's an Indian......they kiss white ass clean thru the fabric...draws and all.

You'd have to be a tapeworm(or a mexican) to suck more ass than a Desi.

 

Damn, didn't know that.

I'm with Paul Mooney when he said "be proud of your big nigga nose." Fuck changing a damn thing.

 

:smt037:smt037:smt037 I laughed my ass wide awake with that one, man.

 

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

I read a number of reviews saying that this movie is worse than Battlefield Earth lol.

No surprise really since M Night Shymalamadingdong directed it.

 

I caught the midnight showing on wednesday. It did suck. The audience actually booed. I haven't heard an audience boo a movie in a long time.

Good thing I didn't pay for the ticket.

 

lol

Man i havent been to the movies in years..

I forgot how emotional such events are

I never heard people booing at a movie tho, lol

 

One of the people I went with is a fan of the cartoon. He was bitching the whole time about the inaccuracies, mispronounced names, the way they moved when they bent elements, etc.

I never watched the cartoon so I couldn't compare it to that, so I just sat there and marveled at the bad acting.

 

I never watched the cartoon, but i'm a gamer and was looking to buy Avatar for the Wii, when it first hit the scene...

it looked like a cool game, so I started liking the brand from there..

but the movie's getting canned 3ways from Sunday, so I dunno

 

just download it when the link comes out.

save your time and money.

 

I want to sue the dude for the many hours I lost watching his worthless movies.

 

You should've known better.

Why didn't you just come over instead of seeing that? I could have provided a much more entertaining experience.

 

I've always thought that Shyamalan is a grossly overrated hack who's coasting off of the success of The Sixth Sense, so it's good to see him getting ripped to shreds. Hopefully, this is the end of him.

 

'i see dead people' was the best impact he had on pop culture
