Hopefully the Last Airbender, like a thief in the night

So last night I decided to pop in my latest Netflix dvd, The Last Airbender.  I had read soemthing last week around the Oscar broadcast that the movie was actually nominated for a Razzie, meaning it was pretty terrible.  Oh well, I thought it couldn’t be that bad, I like people with super powers and special effects.  I was wrong.

I thought the movie was in a word, awful. When I saw in the opening that this was a Nickelodeon film I didn’t realize that the script was written by 3rd graders, which it appeared to be.  I mean the dialogue was horrible.  I find it hard to believe that M. Night would sign on to direct this piece of trash, it totally removed any remaining ideas that he was a competent director.

It’s really hard to pinpoint what was the worst part of the film since there were many things to choose from like the atrocious acting, bad casting, compressed storyline or the laughable dialogue.

After I posted how much I hated the movie on Facebook I found out that the Reading Pagoda is actually in the movie.  However there was no way I was going to subject myself to watching that garbage a second time to actually spot it.

The movie did have a couple good things.  It was  a great flick to have on if you need to get chores done around the house.  I emptied the dishwasher and checked my email without having to hit the pause button once.  The other nice thing was it was as short as most animated films, the torture ends around the 90 minute mark.

The funniest thing of all if the plot is only halfway done, the Air Bender still has two more elements to master!  Do you think they would actually have the balls to produce the second film?  I certainly hope not.  I give the film a big, stinky D.  Make your kids watch it as punishment if they talk back.  It will probably work better than a time out.

So yesterday the Wisconsin legislature worked a loophole to jam through legislation to castrate the state worker’s union.  I find it hard to believe that this is really happening.  The Tea Party zealots actually have managed to get the middle class to cannibalize themselves while the 1 percenters just sit back in their plush leather recliners, sipping their brandy with a large smirk on their face.  It is amazing just how easily human beings can be manipulated.
