you think i think too much, i think we'll wait and see

So, Eclipse. I can't decide whether I actually thought it was a decent movie, or if I was just impressed at how huge an improvement over the book it is. cleolinda, as usual, has said pretty much everything that we're all thinking, so go just read that if you want to know what I thought about the movie.

But in all seriousness, guys, it's pretty entertaining. I know I've ranted - extensively - about this series, but I promise, there are actual fight scenes and everything.

Meanwhile, Avatar comes out this weekend...it currently has an 8% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and Roger Ebert started his review with the following words:

"The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that.

He gave it half a star. Combine that with the racefail thing and...maybe I won't be going to see that one after all. (Edit: Here's probably my favorite review of the movie so far. Trust me, read it.)

Tomorrow's Friday - why do four-day weeks always feel more than a day shorter than five-day weeks? Weird. Anyway, off to finish my laundry and then to bed.

Woah, Howard Shore? What just happened? Glad you enjoyed it though!

Man, that Avatar review is awesome. The reviews are only solidifiying my reluctance to support the movie after the casting debacle, into a rock of "Never-ever going near this, how could they screw it up so bad, qq."

I thought that io9's review was pretty inflated and immature. It lost me at the porn analogy paragraph. I have, however, heard from many a reputable source that the movie is in fact pretty darn awful.

I kind of want to see The Last Airbender still, but I think it's a Star Wars Christmas Special kind of thing. The source material is amazing, a further adaptation can't be half as good, but it kind of has to be seen for the train wreck that it is. I think Ian and I are still going to go see it tonight if we don't head Portland-bound.

Have some more italics.

Avatar was so awful :( It makes me sad because I really enjoyed the tv show.
