for one, it makes more sense na indians ang fire nation because Agni is an **indian** deity.

plus, if you watch the movie, you'll see grabe din ang racial mix. earth kingdom = east asians.

and white people played water tribe coz.. well, it's easier to cast white people than look for so many dark skinned people to play an entire

nation

and don't say that the writers and director of the movie have no idea what they're doing and that nick is an idiot for hiring them. because

it was the other way around. Shyamalan was the one who asked nick if he could make a movie **adaptation** of the series

adaptation. not clone. or something. meaning he is free to make certain changes to make the movie better, or more feasible to shoot

well said, japs. I'm still hoping that the movie will be pretty good. Hehe. I mean, it's Avatar. Hehe.

totally agree. grabe naman. racists. why don't they watch the movie first before judging it? and it's not like they share the difficulties

of filming the movie.

nynja101: exactly.

I can't wait for the movie! Is it coming in 3D ba rin daw?

yup. sabi ni japs.

Mag-iMax tayoooo.

coooool..can't wait!

may difference ba ang iMax sa normal 3D or is it the same? im so confused with cinemas. ang daming category sa MoA

Idunno.. All I know is, iMax is nice. haha. But yeah.. I'd like to know the difference.

IMAX is big..that's for xur.

imax is huge o.o makalula, hahah

Dun tayo nood ng Avatar haha.

saan ang iMax...? sa MoA? lang?

i will watch it twice. once with friends and once na alone

Ang alam ko, MoA lang. But maybe may iba that I don't know of.

so which one are you doing first?

uhm, depends. are you willing to watch on the premiere day with me? haha

it depends on costs/schedule/quality of movie/no. of people but i might be saving up for it. ive been really waiting for the movie

may IMAX din sa SM North! That's where we watched the *other* Avatar in 3D.

maganda yun miel?

malayo man ang SM North :|

okay lang gud siya japs if train gamitin

Yeah, tama si Nyn.

true.. wag lang tayo sumabay sa rush hour.. nagawa ko yun. it sucks @_@ hot, stuffy, sardine-like

yup. super. dami kasi naga train for work

mas malapit ang SM North for the UPD guys. xD haha. pero nice man ang SM North..I love that mall. I like it better than MOA even.

japotski yeah, natry ko na rin. I got squished against the wall. Not a good experience. X__X

amiel01 kasi aircon? haha

i like the makati chain malls the most though

lainz may separate cart man for women diba

Yah, but minsan may guys parin dun. Stupid.

And I was in that cart (women's cart) when I got squished.

japotski: partly? basta..MOA feels kinda empty at some parts. basta mas nice ang SM North as a mall for me. I think MOA is better

for events and stuff.

the only thing i find special about MoA is the ice skating rink. its not even the only mall with one

oo nga.

Have you guys gone ice skating? It's really fun. Except for the falling. But yeah. Whatever. We should go ice skating some time haha.

I haven't yet! I want to.

Yeeeaaah, I'm aware the topic has kind of shifted anyway but I'm sure it's the reason why some people are pissed is because they really...

... want it to be completely true to the source material. I don't blame them. There's also the thing about the original plan being...

... that all of them would be white. Original Zuko was supposed to be Jesse McCartney. There's a lot of race sensitivity in the U.S. ...

... And although they DID end up casting more people of color, they made the enemy (namely, Zuko) the one of color.

I'm much more accepting of the color change they did in Last Airbender now but yeah, people have their reasons.

But crapdamn! Kailan gani siya lalabas?! Can't wait!

chi july 2

seryoso? :| jesse mcartney? rumor lang man siguro yan oi, x_x

of color man din ang earth kingdom yellow. haha

japotski: Well, some people thought it to be true thus, provoking the dreaded nerd rage.

I thought Earth Kingdom was green. Hurr hurr hurr.

Laina ui. July 2 pa. :|

Skin color? Is that even a significant factor?

Napaka-walang utak talaga.

Haha I read "Liana ui" instead of "Laina ui", and I was like, *What did I do?*

Lainz: Our eyes sometimes play tricks on us.

john_quantum: I already put my 2 cents into that. It's mostly about wanting it to be completely true to the source material.

Kind of like still wanting Iroh to be fat for the movie.

sige na lang, heh.. madami man gin gichange sa HP, but it still earned billions

Yeah, they just better not screw this up. The geeks are raging as is.

saw the trailer in 3D kanina! honestly, it was okay but cartoons on 3D are still better.

anyway, regardless, i will watch this in the conemas

you saw the trailer.. in 3D?! O.o

yea! nung nanood kami kanina ng shrek 4. pinalabas man ang trailer in 3D so we got to see.

maganda ang labas ng effects in 3d?

okay lang. better than clash i think. but sandali lang kasi yung trailer so di ko masyado nacritic kahit anung pagconcentrate ko

doncha wish that you could be a fly on the wall (not in the mrt during rush hour)
