I'm currently downloading music like crazy. I might give Kings of Leon a whirl, because their single Sex on Fire seems to be really popular in Australia (and so is LadyHawke's Delirium, might give her a spin as well). Bob bought their (Kings of Leon) album and said it was pretty good.
In other news, I have wrapped up my final assignment for the semester, and am officially free for winter hols!!! That is, until the 6th of July, is when our winter school classes are alleged to start. Geez I can't wait for spring. I don't have to wear socks and shoes and a jacket everywhere.
Gonna watch Transformers 2 tomorrow at Marion. This will be a first movie attempt at Marion. I hope they've got caramel popcorn (though I doubt it), I'm slightly fed up of going to the movies without snacks.
Whilst I am psyched for Transformers 2, I am anticipating the possibility of The Last Airbender's teaser trailer to appear (news is it's premiering with Transformers 2 in the States, and some parts of Canada).
If you remember many posts back, I wrote this angry post about the whitewashed Avatar movie cast. I said I had lost all hope. And they only made it much worse, when after I had written that post, they announced that not only Aang would be white, but most of the main cast would be. Zuko was gonna be played by Jesse fucking McCartney.
And apparently they got the idea that many of us diehard fans are pissed off about the casting, not just us Asians, but a lot of Caucasian fans as well. So they switched Jesse with Dev Patel, and most of the other characters are gonna be played by, if not Asian, Eurasian and Middle Eastern actors and actresses, and they don't look all that bad.
When the first pictures of movie!Aang (played by noah Ringer) were released, I thought he looked adorable, and he didn't really look that white.
Dev Patel as Zuko doesn't look too shabby either.
Okay, my excuse is, I'M TIRED OF BEING DISAPPOINTED BY NEWS AND ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE MAIN CAST BEING WHITE. Especially Katara and Sokka because they should be Inuit (Dev Patel would make a PERFECT Sokka, by the way, not Zuko, but *shrugs*). I'm just gonna settle for whatever it's gonna be like when it comes out.
I just watched the teaser on Youtube today. It looks shitloads epic. HEAPS GOOD. I take back what I said in my angry post about losing hope for this movie, my hope has been restored.
THOSE FIRE NATION BATTLESHIPS LOOK WICKED. And boy can Noah do some kungfu shit.
Now I'm just gonna pray every night that M. Night Shyamalan doesn't screw this up, like he did his previous movies. He did make some very good movies. I'll give him that.
If you're currently shaking your head and thinking, "She's such a geek, tsk tsk," let me tell you this. GEEKS ENJOY MOVIES TWICE AS MUCH AS YOU DO. Cos' we are trained to break down plots and examine weaknesses in storyline. We did not spend hours watching series and movies and playing video games to not know this shit!! D8 And most of all, we know the backgrounds of the characters and their true stories, so we get the best of both worlds! *points at you people who thought Jessica Simpson was the original Daisy Duke*
And some of us do have social lives just like all you other wankers out there okay? >8D
5 cracks:
You're the coolest geek ever~ XD
Pompi> OMG YOU'RE ON BLOGGER! *stalks*
Well....the teaser trailer looks intresting....especially with all the special effects...of Aang using his air bending skills to extinguish part of the row of candles....and not to mention the shot of the attack of the fire nation at the end of the teaser...but Dev Patel playing Prince Zuko....isn't he from the award winning movie...'Slumdog Milionaire'?? although i really remember which characther he played...was he the youngest or the eldest brother??.....now i wonder....how the rest would look....for Katara, Toph...as well as Sokka...
You're right, Dev Patel doesn't strike me as Zuko. =( He's kinda cool though.
But still, I want my lost and emo, but kind Zuko!!!! (NOT Jesse McCartney, but some other dude who would actually look like him) ;_;
Sheesh, he deserve his honour to at least look like a banished crown prince of the fire nation, even if it's on a live action movie!
Oh, and Aang is sooooo adorable!! *fingers crossed that the other casts would turn out well*
Daryl> I've never watched Slumdog Millionaire, but yes Dev Patel is the guy from Slumdog Millionaire. If you go to certain fansites you can see the cast for the rest of the characters. Sokka is being played by Jackson Rathbone, the dude who played Jasper in Twilight.
Lysa> I think many Zuko fans are horrified with the choice, but a lot of them have settled with the choice. At least Dev is better than Jesse McCartney. That and I heard Dev can do some mighty cool kugfu moves, cos' Jesse had to go into training for it.
