The Last Straw. Part 1...(Part 2 to be decided)

I wanted to be optimistic about this when watching the trailers...despite the fact that what I saw in those trailers appeared to be White actors playing the three main Characters, even though they are *CLEARLY* Asian in the Cartoon, and I thought I could give this movie a chance even though I became even more upset with the casting choices for the Villains...I still considered going to see this movie despite that Aang's voice sounded totally weird and left me wondering how I could possibly take his character seriously? Sure, Aang is supposed to be comedic and silly...but HE IS A *KID* with a *KID'S* voice...I still had a twinge of hope lingering within me, because I love the Avatar series so much, and I didn't want to completely shoot this movie down before I even saw it...I was even almost willing to give Mr. Shyamalan one last chance...

Now I don't know if I can even bear going to see it...not after reading THIS:

There have only been one or two movies I have EVER disagreed with Roger Ebert about, (The main one being Fight Club) and somehow, I doubt this will be one of them. Now, whether or not I can muster up the strength to contain the raging bile that would threaten to splatter the entire theater and it's unfortunate patrons and watch this ravaging of my beloved Avatar still remains to be seen...

So for now, this is the Prologue to the "Bending" of my sanity.

....I *WILL* say, however, that I intend to find Mr. Shyamalan and give a "Twist Ending" to his Nutsack for this unforgivable crime.
