I'm not an Airbender fan.

Never watched the show or anything, so I wasn't going to see the movie in the first place.

However, I know many of you are upset over the serious fail-y issues of the movie, so you may be interested to know (if you didn't already) that the movie apparently sucks.

This is good news and bad news.

It's good news, of course, because if you're boycotting the movie it's a relief to know that you're not missing anything.

It's bad news for the same reason. If you're boycotting something, you kinda lose some of that feeling of moral strength when you're boycotting something that's not worth your time anyway. It's just disappointing, am I right? It's like making a moral stand by boycotting durian fruit. It's like ME boycotting this movie I had no interest in from the start!

But, yes. Apparently the movie? It sucks.

I'm actually more interested in seeing it now than I was before all the reviews. Before, it was just an exploitative cashing in on a popular franchise in a way that would never work as a movie and which had racist casting. Now, though, there's a sort of morbid fascination there, of the same type that makes me want to see Plan 9 From Outer Space or Twilight.

Does it count as breaking the boycott if you buy a bootleg DVD instead?

I'm boycotting it, but I plan to see it with my friend Garr as soon as he gets back from his trip to see family. We'll buy a ticket to some movie (consider it a gift to their studio for not making Airbender) and sneak into the bad one and get our hate on. We're planning on watching some episodes from the series beforehand in order to really get our hopes up high enough for a solid dashing. :D

I love the bit at the end where he goes, "didn't anybody like it?" and the whole crowd shouts "NO!"
