Full of Fail and WTF

[seraphcelene]

Just saw the character headshots for The Last Airbender. I had already decided not to see the movie when I heard about the casting, seeing the actors "in character" has only added insult to injury. What they've done to Kitara and Sokka pretty much breaks the heart.

I loved Avatar, and they're ruining it.

I love the side-by-side comparison (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/37172798.html?thread=5391289918#t5391289918).

It's the famous Earthsea Fail all over again. Have they learned NOTHING?!

It's so stupid and full of Great White Fail I just have to laugh (and cry at the same time). Ignoring this movie. Ignoring it hard.

I LOVED that! Cracked my shit right up!! And at the time I totally needed the laugh. It kills me that mainstream always has to equal "white" and that this myth is perpetually insisted upon that white people can only watch white people. I went to a performing arts high school on the drama track and the reason that I decided that I didn't want to be an actor was hugely influenced by the Hollywood color barrier. I didn't want to fight the fight only to get crumbs.

Argh!!!!

I am so not even interested in seeing this movie anymore. My joy was killed dead!
