C-Box Page/Rules

In case you haven't noticed, yes this is a different C-Box. The other C-Box was a premium one (which means you have to pay) and I figured it doesn't make any sense to keep paying for something we could be getting for free. So yeah it is a downgrade but we can live with it I think! There was no way I could downgrade the other C-Box so we get a whole new one, isn't that special? Anyway, enjoy!

"The Last Airbender" Hits Theaters
Jul 01, 2010 at 10:51 AM

Jake here, and of course we all know "The Last Airbender" made its theatrical debut at 12 midnight this morning in theaters across America.  I saw the showing and have some thoughts.

I found myself trying to "correct" the movie the whole way through.  I was trying to not be as critical, but I couldn't help it.  Non-series lovers are more likely to enjoy it, I think.

Acting wasn't terrible, but my main complaint lies with the writing.  Um, what was the plot?  I know, I know.  Every one of us knows what it was.  But M. Night tried to tie certain things, and throw flashbacks in, at the weirdest times.  And it felt so rushed, at only an hour and a half.  The Siege of the North was far less epic than the show, mainly because there was no build up.  If M. Night really consulted closely on the script with Mike and Bryan, wouldn't they have told him a few things about writing?

The theater I went to was near-packed, but no applause at the end (of course, not everyone that likes a movie has to applaud).  I have hope for the 2nd one, if it's picked up.  The story in season 2 is more workable, while season 1 visited a new town every episode.  All in all, I didn't hate it.  I don't want to hate it.  I'll probably buy the DVD, and watch it again sometime.

Oh, and don't waste money on the 3D, there was none to speak of.  Unless I just got ripped off and the theater didn't have the 3D (which I paid for) I didn't notice anything.

Noah Ringer wasn't bad for his first film, and Dev Patel was ok.  Nicola Peltz, eh.  I didn't hate her, at least.  The girl who plays Azula?  Just creepy...

Well again, I have hopes for the second movie, should Paramount want it.  I saw somewhere an expected $50 million opening weekend, which is something at least.  Not a summer blockbuster, but it may be enough for Paramount to want a 2nd.  We'll have to see how it does in the coming weeks.

Poll Results: 100 Years Does Not Change Opinions on Korra
Jun 25, 2010 at 10:14 PM

Dylan here. When comparing the poll results to the question “Who is Korra?” from before we released the information that the new series will take place 100 years after and after we released it, there isn’t much difference. Before the information, 61.3% of 150 people said Korra is a Water Tribe Avatar. After, 67% of 197 did. The biggest difference probably came from the choice “Korra's a place, not a person” which dropped from 16% to 6.6%. “Related to one of the characters from the original series” remained stable from 12.7% to 15.2%. And the other choices all remained below 5% for both polls.

Opinion: No Preconceptions
Jun 25, 2010 at 10:05 PM

Dylan here with some thoughts going into the final stretch of the movie. Hit “Read more...” for them.
