The “Real” Avatar.. “Last Airbender”

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I’ve been waiting for this movie ever since I saw the first trailer! I’ve watched the series (“Avatar, the Last Airbender”), I highly recommend it for kids, and it’s not something that adults will get bored with while they watch with them! The series has just the right mix of humor and seriousness, and the world the creators wrote is both different enough to be intriguing, and familiar enough to be accessible, based on various Asian influences rather than the traditional European stories. If Shyamalan can capture the humor as well as the drama from the series, this will be an excellent trilogy of movies. C’mon, July!

I WANT ONE!

This looks like one of the coolest things to come along, to convince you you’re living in the 21st Century! A battery-powered turntable, that lets you hook up to a USB port to rip your favorite vinyl-only songs into your computer, and it has a headphone jack and speakers to listen wherever you are! If I can get one, I’ll be using it to rip all the albums and 45′s I have, that have never been on CD!

I WANT!
