M. Night Shyamalan Finally Made A Comedy

[permetaform]

"This is the part where I would insert a quick plot synopsis of the film, but it's really unnecessary - Shyamalan has boiled every epic heroic story of the past 20 years down to its most basic, primal soup-y essence, so he can spray it all over the audience, in a kind of Hero's-Journey bukkake. You will be finding chunks of Joseph Campbell's calcified spooge behind your ears for three days after watching this film, no matter how many times you bathe.

Shyamalan's true achievement in this film is that he takes a thrilling cult TV series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and he systematically leaches all the personality and soul out of it — in order to create something generic enough to serve as a universal spoof of every epic, ever."

...I thank you profoundly for this link. I can't wait to give it to my friend, we have been planning to see that movie to find out how badly the story got butchered. XD

Too bad she's in London for a week. I can't even post my new strange pictures because I promised her I'd show them to her first. ;___; Ah well, at least I have finally kicked myself to give some comments. XD

Yeah, we have been trying to figure out how to go see the movie without paying. It involved fake moustaches and a ridiculously bad Spanish accent. XD

I actually speak Spanish, so it would be extra difficult not to laugh while doing it. XD

All of our plans seem to develop to that kind of direction. XD

I'm actually really amazed how we managed to have that one trip to Japan, we couldn't concentrate on sensible planning but watched anime instead and wondered if Gackt would kidnap us. XD
