ugh ugh and double ugh.

I feel like shit. I've had these strange body aches and dull pain since Tuesday. First it just started with the ball of my right foot, and now the muscles in the back of my left thigh are sore and I'm starting to feel it in my hands. I don't know what I did. Maybe standing for five hours with cheap pairs of shoes are doing it to me, or I pinched a nerve? I felt fine on Monday, but as soon as early Tuesday morning rolled around, it hit me. :\

In other news, because I know a few people are going to want to hear about this or in case anybody's curious: The Last Airbender's getting critically panned by both professional critics and fans alike. So far it's got an astounding rating of 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. (That may or may not change since it's only been released this week.)

Personally I can't say I'm surprised. Even when you leave the casting decisions out of the reasons why you shouldn't see this, it just sounds like a disappointing film in every other aspect. I really hope nobody pays to see this, only because it doesn't seem to come anywhere close to the energy and spirit of the show.

(By the way, the rumors about the female characters' roles getting diminished or completely forgotten? Sorry to say, but given what's been said in reviews so far, it's true. Not only was Katara a weaker fighter, but she didn't even get to inspire the Earth Kingdom prisoners to fight back against the Fire Nation soldiers, or fight against Pakku, or even get the upper-hand in her one-on-one fight with Zuko. And the Kyoshi Warriors--plus Suki--were cut from the film completely.)

EDIT: Also, I've tried nutella for the first time ever. It's ridiculously delicious. (Sadly I'm the only one in the house who likes it. Too bad, there's going to be a jar in the house from now on.) I gobbled up two pieces of toast covered in nutella and I plan to do it again tomorrow when I wake up. I'm just sad I couldn't celebrate its goodness with bananas because we're all out. :(

Wow, I sure thought the trailer for the last airbender movie looked like fail, but not this much fail. Glad I wasn't interested in seeing it.

Yeah, I...really don't understand how anyone still wants to see this movie despite the casting and the horrible reviews. It's just not a good movie. I think it goes somewhere beyond fans merely being picky with the live-action film as other "true" fans claimed.

There's an entire list of what's different between the movie and the show on racebending.com, and there's far too many to keep count, especially what they did with the female characters.

Even just the casual fans I know in real life (who weren't all that concerned with the fail-cast or were mildly disappointed, but not enough to stop them from going to see it) said it was shit. So I really don't see it doing very well at all.

I don't see it performing well at the box office either. Actually I'm a little relieved that Eclipse is possibly going to blow this movie out of the water - which shouldn't happen because it's freaking Twilight. D:

I'm happy to see that it turned out to be as crappy as I expected, but part of me is still a little sad that AtLA didn't get the live-action movie it deserved.

asdghjkl; You've never had Nutella before! I grew up on the stuff! It's choclate and hazelnuts, two of the most delicious flavors in the world-- what's not to like?

*huge Nutella fan*

I had no idea what nutella was while I was growing up because our family avoids anything that seems to be "healthy stuff" or include skim milk in the ingredients. And I didn't know what hazelnuts alone taste like since I'm a picky eater. Now I'm sad that I've missed out all these years. <33

[kitsuneasika.livejournal.com]

Oh, that sucks. We had it 'cause my family's German, and...yeah. Also! I'm not very fond of most nuts, but hazelnuts are some of my favorites. We have a nut bowl every winter, and one year I just sat on the counter, picking out the hazelnuts in there until I had eaten all of them. And that was one big pile. So yes, I love hazelnuts.

Nutella is awesome, especially with bananas :D

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it'd be awesome with bananas. :D We need some NOW.

Ew. Originally I was going to download it - I was curious but didn't want to pay for the racefail. Now....ugh. I don't even want to bother seeing it at all. It seems like the characters' personalities were all changed so that they don't get to be interesting 3 dimensional people anymore.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, even hate-watching it doesn't seem like an good idea for the exact reason you've mentioned. It just sounds like they took the characters' personalities and completely ruined them.
