Re: Avatar rocks
Yeah, I think that Firebender actually don't need a source. There's some other explanation for it that we haven't learned about yet, but we know it can't be true because of the clip from the full trailer that Sokka mentioned. Shyamalan isn't that stupid then.
I have a feeling they're gonna change all the characters. None of them will be goofy, or crack jokes all the time. But there has to be some comic relief in the movie, and I don't know how they'll include it.
By the way, congrats everyone on 400 pages of the avatar rocks topic!

Re: Avatar rocks
You're finally watching Avatar? That's great, I hope you like it!
Yup, 400 pages. We've come a long way, huh? I think this must be one of the biggest topics, besides topics in places like the Chat section of course.
I really like my new color.

YOU ARE AN EARTHBENDER! You are a proud people. You are most likely muscular or enjoy sports & the outdoors. You are decisive & strong. You overpower your enemies with your strength. You can make slabs of stone for defending, levitate earth of any kind, create earthquakes & quicksand, & 'magnetize' your limbs to stone so you can scale shear walls & cliffs.
And through a strange coincedince, Toph is my favorite character. She makes me laugh. xD

So, those watching the series right now, a.k.a. Silver and Kotor, what do you guys think of season 3 (if you've gotten that far)?
After you guys finish the show, you'll be added to my list of Avatards! n.n

Re: Avatar rocks
All I have left to watch is Sozin's Comet. =] I like season 3. It felt like it could be a lot longer, actually. But i'm not complaining, except for some of Sokka's jokes. I mean, damn! xD It's a good show. And I saw some trailers from the movie, and I'm convinced it's going to be bad. xD :/
Oh my gosh, wow! The finale! ... *memories* Good times.. you'll enjoy it, definitely... the best 2 hours of TV I ever watched.. lul.
Yeah, it could have been... except Nickelodeon would rather spend money on shows like Spongebob and iCarly, so... >.< Lol
Haha... I agree. Though I guess there's nothing we can do about it. I used to be really bitter about it, but now, I guess I'm just okay with it. The show's always going to be better, so it doesn't matter to me...

Re: Avatar rocks
Yeah, definitely, the finale was the greatest. There was always something going on, and when I first watched it, I had to remind myself that it was Avatar! It was so cool I forgot it what it was, if that makes any sense.
Could have been longer? It was the longest season! Lol, I thought it was great, just like the other 2 seasons. I like them all equally.
I disagree, I have a lot of confidence in the movie. After thinking about it a lot, watching the trailers over again a few times, and watching some videos about people sharing their opinions, I'm really looking forward to this movie. If you think about it, there's nothing really wrong with it. They stayed as close to the show as possible, and the casting was not an easy choice to make. They tried their best to make the movie multi-cultural, and you can imagine how hard it was to decide exactly who they wanted. I can tell they've put a lot of effort in this movie so far, and if people don't see the bright side of everything, then they're just not appreciating that there's even a movie for this amazing show.

Season 3 was the best in my opinion, and the finale was pretty damn cool.
Kotor, you never know. maybe the people who made the trailers were trying too hard to make it look cool.

So, Silv and Kotor, since you've both seen the whole show now, you've got to give us your comments and reviews! What'd you think of the show on a whole, what was your favorite season, etc.
I liked all the seasons, but probably season 3 best because all the characters had already been introduced and the plot was set up. And Katara's fire nation outfit, but that was just a plus ;D

Re: Avatar rocks
So guys, I found these reviews for the test screening thing of The Last Airbender that aired recently. (It's basically the movie with very sloppy effects, transitions, editing (like stunt double replacing and stuff), and music.) The reviews are pretty good, with one of them really praising the show, and the other not liking it as much. I'm warning you before hand because some of you might find them as spoilers for the movie. So don't come crying to me after reading them and blame me for ruining the whole movie for you! (Which they actually don't, really.) Anyway, here they are:
Keep in mind that neither of these people have seen the Avatar: The Last Airbender original show, so their opinions might differ from someone who's actually seen the show.

Hm, interesting reviews, Sokka. Looks like it could go either way still. Though one of the guys did seem to think Shaun Toub (Iroh) is really good. They were split on Aang, though. We'll just have to see...

Re: Avatar rocks
BOOYA!!!
Haha, well, kind of! Sokka and I went yesterday at like 11 AM, since our cousin was nice enough to take us. We got there at about 12 and we got in line, which ended up being about 2 and a half hours long. I was reassured when we looked around, because we must have been the only Indian people there, and the entire Fire Nation (I think) is Indian! So we finally got to the front, and when we did, they took us into this big room with circular tables. There was nobody there from the actual official crew, like any cast members or anything. They gave everyone an index card that we wrote our information on, like address, phone numbers, DOB, age, height, weight, shoe size, availability, etc. So we handed those in and then they took individual pictures of us to show to M. Night Shyamalan. They told us that Shyamalan will be choosing however many people he needs, whether it be 5 people or 1,000 people, so we have to pray he needs a lot. They also said a few other things, which I'll post in bullets to make easier for you guys:
-They need you to be available from March 22nd to May 22nd, meaning they can call you in whenever within that time if they like/need you. They need you to get this form for your school to sign or something, to let them know that you might be out of school for filming.
-On the set, there'll be a lot of great food available for us to eat. Sounds good, huh?
-Early in April they'll be sending out either phone calls or emails to call people down for costume fitting. This is why they had everyone write down their height, weight, and shoe size. They'll have you try on the costumes and make the right adjustments to get ready for shooting.
-EVERYONE GETS PAID!!! I'm not sure how much, but I heard someone on the phone say $600! I think he was kidding though, but however much money it is, I could care less! I just wanna be in the movie! Oh, and you even get paid for coming down to costume fitting. Even more amazing, right?
And that's basically it. I really hope us two get selected! I mean, come on, two 15-year-old Indian twins? You don't see that every day! So hopefully we'll be called down... it would be the greatest experience of my life!!!
There's just one more thing... we're still deciding whether or not we should email in some pictures. They said that you could email them whenever you want, but you have to include all the information that you included on the card. I think we should, because just the one picture they took there might not convincing enough. What do you guys think we should do?

Movies aren't filmed from front to back. They film scenes when they're able to fit them into the various schedules (actors, weather, studio/crew time, funding, etc etc) and combine them into a coherent film on the editing floor. It's the same idea with the trailer. They took from scenes they've already done, finished the special effects on those pieces, added narration and what have you.
That's really cool, guys. =] Yes, do whatever you can to increase your chances! :}

Haha, it's not like we're going to be huge movie stars or anything. We'll probably be going on SF just as often. But yeah, we'll definitely try out best to get pics of ourselves in costume and post them. That is, though, if we get picked. I think today I'm going to take some more pictures to send in to them to, like you guys said, increase our chances of being chosen. Thanks for the advice guys!

No, see, they've been finished filming for a while now, maybe even a year. What Sokka and I went to was the final casting call, which was held because they're adding additional scenes to the movie because some things were mistakenly left out. So any filming they do now will just be extra. The trailer was only released because they thought at the time that they were done with filming.

Oooooohhhhh, okay, lol. That makes even more sense. Although how you forget to film a whole scene is beyond me. Wouldn't it be great if y'all got cast to do bending in one of the forgotten scenes?

Re: Avatar rocks
@Saphirarox: Lol, I guess so. I think that they didn't really forget the scene, but they probably went through the whole movie and decided they wanted to add more. Either way, everything they're doing now will only make the movie better!
Yeah, that would VERY awesome! I would probably shriek like a girl if they told us we would be doing bending. xD Haha, but the thing is, I think that whatever role we get will probably just be extras. I'm not completely sure what our role will actually be though, but hopefully we'll soon find out.
By the way, I really hope we can get into the movie, because I have a plan. For the next movies, we're going to apply for a more major role, and if you were in the previous movie, your chances of getting in would be much higher!
Are any of you guys planning on applying for a role in the future movies? That would be really cool if there were more SF peeps who applied for a role!

Hey everyone!
By the way, a new JAPANESE trailer came out recently, I think today. It has a few never-before-seen clips in it too. I have to say, this one is looking very nice. Check it out:
Cool, huh? You can see some Katara waterbending and a short clip of Aang, Katara, and Sokka walking into the Northern Water Tribe. Also, I'm almost certain the guy that says, "It cannot be. I have lived to see your return", is Shy-Yu from Avatar Roku's temple. At first, I thought it was an Air Nomad, but when I paused on the clip, I saw that he was wearing red, Fire Nation clothes.
What do you guys think of this?

As long as one person falls for an April Fools joke, all is good in the world! xD =]
I just remembered I forgot to give my impression on the show::
I should probably stop judging series before I watch them. I liked it much more than I thought from listening to sister's descriptions. It entertained me, and it registered lower on the cringe scale than most YA non-comedies. That's all that really matters to me when watching television. Nothing really bothered me about it, except being predictable in spots, but that's to be expected. And the humor largely made up for it, such as the insane creature combinations and the character of Iroh.
Favorite Character:: Toph Minor:: Iroh Biggest Drag:: Sokka =P Best Moment:: The cat quote, or that one line of Iroh's, of which I forgot both.
It doesn't make my favorites list, but I liked it and would certainly watch again.

Re: Avatar rocks
Favorite Character(s):: Toph, Katara, Momo Best Moment:: The old man mumbling to himself while trying to paint Aang The play. Katara looked like Fiona off Shrek and Toph was a man.
M. Night apparently changed some of the pronunciations of the names in the movie.
Aang In show: Eh-ng (rhyming with gang) In movie: Ohng (rhyming with gong)
Sokka In show: Sock-uh In movie: Soak-uh
Iroh In show: Eye-roh In movie: Eer-roh
Avatar In show: Aa-vuh-tahr In movie: Uhv-tahr
He said he changed it to make it sound more authentic and cultural. Though that's a bit hypocritical, seeing as how he's the one who removed all cultural significance from the movie, but oh well!
There are also some mangas coming out for the movie, here's one of them:
Looks cool! I'd read that =]

Re: Avatar rocks
I think it's funny that all the characters suddenly became white, but that's just me lol.
And a bit disappointing, but I guess it can't be helped now.
So it seems that they clarified the "new" ethnicities of each nation.
Water tribe is still Inuit, though all the actors are white. Dunno how that works. Fire nation is now Indian/Middle Eastern, figures. Earth Kingdom is mostly Asian and possibly African American. And the Air nomads are of "mixed" backgrounds. Kind of nonsensical, seeing as how before they were keeping the casting "colorblind". It's all kind of messed up, but that's just details.

You might need Adobe Reader to see it, since it's a PDF file. But oh well, it wasn't that great or anything, lol.
So, about the casting thing involving Rafi and Hisham... I don't think they got in because apparently the scene they were casting for was a Kyoshi Island child scene. Like, in the episode "The Warriors of Kyoshi" when all the little kids/girls were fangirling over Aang. So they wouldn't need like, older kids, like Hisham and Rafi xD They said they'd call them in early April, and it's kind of mid April by now. So it seems like they aren't getting in.... =/

Well, they could always call them in for a last minute scene! Who knows? Could need it, movie people are like that L=
Besides, weren't they casting for Fire Nation places? Cause the Fire Nation are Indians?

I don't think we're getting in this movie, because this casting call was the last one. But I don't really mind. I mean, what does it change? As long as we're seeing the movie, I'm happy!
They were casting for Fire Nation stuff before, but the Kyoshi Child scene probably doesn't involve any. If we get in any movie, we'll most likely be accepted into the 3rd one, since it's based on Season 3: Fire.

Yeah, as long as we are all able to see the movie, we should all be happy, right? I'm actually going to try to get tickets for the very first show in the closest theater, because that's much more exciting. I wouldn't do this for any other movie, but I think this movie is definitely worth it.
Are you two going to see it? You should! Might be worth it, I hope lol
BIG NEWS! New Avatar series being made by Mike & Brian (the original creators)! [link]
It isn't going to involve the original Gaang, most likely, but it's still Avatar, and that's pretty majorly good!!! =D

Yup, another show in the Avatar world. It would probably be after the time of Aang or something, like about the new Avatar. I'm not really sure though, haven't got the deets yet ;D (deets = details)

Re: Avatar rocks
That doesn't mean we can't speculate! =] Maybe about the start of the war? Sozin and Roku and stuff. =)
Mmm, I think it would probably center around things in the future after the war ends. You know, all new characters and things, possibly with the new Avatar.
Though I wish they'd make an epilogue to wrap up all the unanswered questions at the end of Sozin's Comet. Like, Zuko's mom, Toph parent's, where Aang lives now, if Katara and Sokka went back to the South Pole, how the Southern Water Tribe got rebuilt, Hawky?? And, more in the future, if Katara and Aang had kids and possibly an airbender baby?
Pretty cool, huh? Also, I'm not sure if you guys know this or not, but the movie is now schedules to play in 3-D (if you don't feel like paying the extra few bucks, don't worry, they're playing in 2-D too). It wasn't a last-minute decision or anything by the way; they planned and expected it to be a 3-D movie from the beginning. Some more news:
*A "Behind the Scenes" video for the movie was released, which you guys can watch here. *The official website was recently updated and completely redesigned, which you can check out here. *I think you guys already know this, but there will be two mangas released about the movie. One of them serves as a prequel and describes Zuko's life before he began hunting the Avatar. The second one I think is just based off the movie. I've already pre-ordered both of them, so I can't wait until they get here. They're supposed to release on June 22.

Re: Avatar rocks
Some more updates!
Just a few more bits of news to keep you guys updated. First, there's a new picture of Aang at the Northern Water Tribe, which you can see here. Second, there's going to be a new TLA trailer, but this one will be in 3-D! There's a positive and negative side to this. Positive: We will get a little preview of how the special effects look in 3-D. Negative: Since the trailer is in 3-D, it won't be anywhere on the Internet. The only way you can see it is with the new Shrek movie, Shrek Forever After, which you have to see in 3-D also.
And that's basically all that's been going on, except there were a few more interviews with Shyamalan and Shaun Toub. There are currently only 39 days left until this movie airs, so I hope you all you fans are getting ready to buy tickets and such!

The movie comes out in 1 month. Heavy promotion of it starts now, so we'll be seeing a lot of TV spots and ads and merchandise soon. The latest trailer for it came out with Shrek Forever After, it had a few new clips here and there. The one I posted earlier has most of the best scenes released so far, though.
Lol, funny story about the trailer actually. We missed it when we saw Shrek cause we were late, so we sneaked in to another theatre for it, and we had our 3D glasses on cause we saw Shrek in 3D, but the one we walked into wasn't a 3D movie, so we just walked in like a bunch of idiots wearing those glasses and sat in the front handicapped row xD Then we realized what we were doing and we got the hell out of there, lol. But we still saw the trailer. Twice. So yeah XD

"It has been confirmed that there is a new series in development at Nickelodeon that involves the Avatar world. The series takes place 100 years in the future. The original creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Brian Konietzko, are of course, creating and producing the new series. Rumor has it that the new series will be titled "Avatar: the Legend of Korra" but this is unconfirmed at this time. The latter could be a different series entirely, we are not sure at this time."

@kvista: Theme? Well, it'll still be the Avatar world, so I'm guessing it will be fairly similar, except with different characters, of course. If it is the Legend of Korra, I think the main character would be a water tribe person (Korra sounds like a water tribe name).
Lol, I've no idea where or when it's coming out, it's still a really early thing at this point ;D
Oooh I just realized! If Korra is indeed a water tribe person and the main character, he/she might actually be the next Avatar! Since Aang was an airbender, the next avatar has to be a waterbender, so it could be Korra! How exciting =D

Maybe we'll get to see super old original characters or something. I would watch it just for that. xD
I wonder what the conflict will be about though, with the whole fire nation thing done for.
Lol, it's like Aang is 212 years old xD But if it's a new Avatar, that means Aang will have died... =(
Me too. It'll probably be good, though I'll still miss the old GAang.

Apparently, Avatar the Legend of Korra will be a LIVE ACTION show =O They recently filed a patent for the show and it says it will provide "entertainment services in the nature of continuing program series, featuring live action, comedy, and drama ..."
So it'll probably be similar to The Last Airbender movie, in a way... that's kind of weird, I dunno. I was looking forward to another cartoon...

Well, after 2 years of waiting and anticipation, I've finally seen the Last Airbender. To start off, I didn't really like the idea of a live action movie at first, after Sozin's comet out. But after seeing some of the trailers and pictures of the movie in the past few months, I'd come to actually like it a bit. I mean, it looked fairly decent and I thought it might turn out to be an alright movie. Sadly, it turns out I was mistaken.
By my tone in the above paragraph, you can probably guess that I didn't really like this movie too much, and you'd be right. It was horrible. To be honest, it was bad beyond belief. Needless to say, being a fan of the REAL material, a.k.a. Avatar the Last Airbender (the show), it's really disappointing watching this movie. Everything is just so... wrong. The characters are horrible. I wasn't able to recognize Aang in Noah Ringer, or Katara in Nicola Peltz. It was almost like they weren't trying to portray their characters, because it was just such a pathetic attempt. The screenplay and dialogue are atrocious. It's so fast-paced and cuts scenes so fast you're left thinking, "what just happened?" about a dozen times. There is no real relationship or development regarding the characters. It's also childish to the point of frustration and it seems everything has been reduced to suit the PG rating. There are other points of it that are just ludicrous, but I'm not going to sit here and list all those.
Just know that the main reason for this movie being so horrible is M. Night Shyamalan, who wrote, produced, and directed the movie. There's no other explanation. This movie had so, so much potential, and Shyamalan killed it. First of all, he's never done a movie in this genre. All he does are horror/suspense films. He doesn't know how to incorporate dialogue or character interaction or even emotion into his films. I don't see how he can call himself a writer, as he so assertively does in all of his interviews. Everyone knows he only took this movie for selfish reasons. He was looking for something like this, for his own Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. He was looking for an epic fantasy-like tale that he could use to make his own and get his name out there. That's obvious, seeing as how he plasters his name anywhere and everywhere regarding advertising of this movie. Not so unfortunately, while this was Shyamalan's first action movie, it will most likely also be his last. When this movie fails at the box office, as I'm sure it will, he'll be done for. The last 3 of his movies have been failures now. There's no way he'll ever be able to redeem his name in the movie industry. I'm glad though. He deserves it for taking such an amazing show and ruining it to produce this utter crap, all so he could get his foot in the door of action movies.
I just want to say to anyone who reads this: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. Honestly, it's a waste of time and money. And if you actually like the show you'll probably want to kill M. Night. What I do suggest, however, if you're interested, is to pick up a copy of Avatar: the Last Airbender (yes, the original series, that actually has AVATAR in the name). Do not watch this movie and judge the show, thinking that they are the same, because they are worlds apart and this movie could never begin to compare to the real show.
That looks like the end of what I want to say. To end on a positive note... it's comforting to know that, no matter what happens with TLA or how bad it is or how much I want to wring M. Night's throat, it doesn't change the original show. I'll always have the old show, and no one can take that away. Especially not has-been, worse-than-mediocre, egotistic movie directors who only make movies for their own selfish reasons and fail pathetically at it.
Thanks for reading.

Sad to say I only expected as much... But I'll watch the movie anyways( on my computer ) Def. Not worth going to see in theaters from what I've heard ... It was good to hear it from a person who really was into the show... Thanks for taking one for the team arya lol
Haha, no problem, elve king. It's nice to see you around again, by the way.
So, I've recently heard that it might not entirely be Shyamalan's fault that the movie lacked character development and emotion. Apparently Paramount ordered him to cut out 25 minutes of film time. It's also been said that this 25 minutes involved a lot of character interaction and development and other aspects of the film that were important in the original series. So I guess we can't blame Shyamalan entirely. Just Hollywood, as usual.

If that is the real deal.... I suspect there will be a director's cut DVD which could possibly raise the film up a bit. Still, the fact that it was so bad without those minutes... I kinda wanted to see it lol, not anymore.
And if the films continue after this, such a universal panning can be nothing but a wake-up call. One would hope.

Re: Avatar rocks
I did watch a thing called the last airbender reveled and m night was talking how he had a lot of the keoshi(sp) warriors filmed but he wasn't aloud to put them in the film cause he was getting too obsessed with that part of the film and it was taking a theme a long those lines

Re: Avatar rocks
Oh lord... The live action film was painful... It was like the Eragon movie all over again... (changing scenes, leaving out so many key characters and important events that is is impossible to make a sequel, pissing off fans of the series, etc.) The only difference is that the Eragon movie was actually better than this. Not a whole lot better, but still better. I give the Last Airbender a 0/10. It stinks and is an insult to the original series, which is actually one of the best cartoon shows of all time. Now I am going to go out and buy the original series on DVD to hopefully purge the memories if this horrid "movie" from my mind.

Re: Avatar rocks
Uhh...I had actually hoped the movie wouldn't be as bad as it sounded, but I was wrong; It was so much worse.Being a fan of the original show(which was amazing and strangely a lot more serious than this LIVE action film) it was hard to watch all of the characters I had grown to love be portrayed so horribly. What really sets me off ,though, is how the world will think how stupid the show must have been to produce a movie like this, when in reality the show was one of the most unique series I have ever watched. And the director, whose name I will not mention here, deserves to be slapped in the face with a pair of dirty cleats. That would make me happy. I'm just glad I watched this online instead of wasting my money at the theatres.

Re: Avatar rocks
I take back part of what I said earlier. The Eragon movie isn't just slightly better. It is freaking Citizen Kane compared to this POS! The Last Airbender is the WORST MOVIE EVER!
