Random Thoughts

Blarg, I'm a lazy mofo. I'm going to type something, and hope I keep typing as the days go by!

So, random thoughts! There are things that'll keep me busy and procrastinating for no good reason. It was Monster Hunter for awhile, GTA4 and Galaxy 2 before that, birdwatching for a time (which I hope to make a video for, later), E3 coverage... oh man, E3 coverage... I'll have to get into that.

But, let's live in the present and let me just focus on the one time-waster going down, and that is Avatar: The Last Airbender... the movie. The show is fantastic, and was the big obsession for a time, and now, the movie is. Well, actually, reading reviews of the movie is. Apparently, the movie is such a collassal trainwreck, that it's got an 8% or less at Rotten Tomatoes, Ebert trashed it to bits, fans of the show, like myself, are just aghast at the whole thing... There was a video of first reactions to the movie, and they were raging. It's simply incredible.

So, right now, I'm... well, right now I should be dressing up to go to Costco to buy stuff, or working on my Animation Mentor Class 2 first assignment, or working more on Reality, but instead I'm staring at the Avatar Spirit forums, gazing at the impressions of people who know the source material, talking about how a wonderful cartoon series was bastardized, wasting millions of dollars, angering people with apparent racist casting, and basically turned a diamond into coal right before their eyes.

It's just incredible.

Okay, done. I'd better get to that other stuff now... Hope you enjoy reading/watching the reactions and links!
