Bending My Poor Distracted-...Mongoose Revolt.

My brain is being really inconveniant at this time. I've started about 5 blog posts...and haven't really finished them because I get easily distracted. Right.

Here's what I wrote about The Last Airbender after viewing it:

THIS MOVIE MADE ME ANGRY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I mean, I was laughing my head off during the movie, but the aftermath...the aftertaste...it has left me with this bitter, acrid, ANGER. And yes, I was playing that video over and over while I wrote this portion.

AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! I'll try to focus on the movie.

Now I'm not a hardcore long-time fan...I mean, I DID just start watching this show YESTERDAY. But I think I'm a good enough fan to judge the movie. Within a 24 hour span,I watched the first season all the way through. For that 24 hours, I dedicated my life to this show. The characters. Their world. Everything. It was amazing. I really missed out on something.

The movie kinda destroyed all that. This movie wasn't friendly towards people who had no prior knowledge of the show, as well as those who knew every detail about the show. The reason why was because there was no real attempt to bring their world to life. There was no real character development. It was just...thrown together. Gah and whoever did the editing did a horrible job. Really sloppy. Oh and I'm almost positive they forgot to put in some CGI effects. Either that, or waterbending doesn't involve water.

Characters: THEY PRONOUNCED THE GODDAMN NAMES WRONG. Pretentious bastards. Unacceptable.

I get that there was a time limit for the movie...and there was a whole season to cut down. I just don't understand how you could take so much awesome material and make it so bad. It's just....all messed up.

At least Appa's creepy feet weren't really his feet and just a bunch of dangling kids.

Yeah so I was really pissed at that time I guess. I have recently finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon. I must say....I'm gonna be a little obsessed about it for a while. Honestly guys, I just named my Zune "Zuko". Yeah.

Yeah....that's old news. I know. So I'll write something new.

Hans Zimmer.

So many times I have gone to a movie, been super impressed by the soundtrack, and found out that Hans Zimmer was behind the awesome music. I keep buying these movie soundtracks. I am currently awaiting the arrival of my Inception soundtrack.

FUN FACT: Apparently he wrote the non-lyrical songs of Lion King. He really wanted to go to South Africa and record parts of the song there (yay African Choir stuff!), but the Disney people were like "no you can't go! You're gonna get ****ing killed! Some people there hate you because you wrote the score for Power of One. They kinda took offense to that movie." So he's all "whatever fine" and wins some awards. Something like that.

Seriously though....back to the point of why I brought him up in the first place. The music in Inception made me feel like I could be that badass I always wanted to be. It was just SO COOL. It also gave me another idea for my next Crimson Wolf project. But yeah, it made me realize I need to get on that whole being awesome thing. Maybe I should secretly train in the woods. Yeah.

In conclusion, for a weird German guy, Zimmer can write pretty damn amazing music.

I'll shut up and you listen now.
