I went into The Last Airbender with low expectations.
They were not met.
Actual dialogue from the film: "We need to believe our believes as strongly as they believe their beliefs!"
Afterwards:
Me: I can't believe they made Zhao lame! LAME!
Kristin: And Iroh was strangely Spanish.
Me: Ozai killed his Father, prepare to die?
Kristin: Zuko didn't have a scar, he had a sunburn!
Me: And he was emo, but like Peter Petrelli-emo.
Kristin: He was angry at the world, but in a lock-myself-in-my-room-and-listen-to-nothing-but-The-White-Stripes kinda way.
Me: They did like four episodes! All they had to do was highlight stuff that had already been written and just do that!
Kristin: Lookit this way. Nothing you write will ever be that bad.
Me: Er, yay?

Soooo speaking of writing, I'm thinking fo rewriting Common Grounds and Gatherings of Leaves as original fic. I printed out an expurgated version for my friend Todd, whose response was "Shit, this sucker's long!" (He seems to think I write more porn than I do. I'm not sure why.)
I'm also having some writer's block issues with my WIPs, my STBB in particular. I've written nothing of significance in weeks and this irks me. Grr. Suggestions, anybody?
