How much did you like the movie? Or how much do you want to see it?
Movie? What movie? I don't remember any movie.
....
Okay, in all serious. AHHHH. That thing was horrible. I don't just mean as an adaption (although it was one of the worst adaptions I've ever seen) but as a piece of work in its own right. The dialog was forced and stilted, the characterisations turned into a bland much while being the exact opposite of those in the show. (Sokka= quiet and serious. Aang= angsty and mopey.), there were plot holes left, right, and center due to them changing the plot, the acting was atrocious, the species effects were laughable, and that's not even touching on the racism in the casting.
Not only do I wish I could forget it, I wish I could brain bleach everyone who saw it. Then it might get a chance for a reboot in ten years, done properly.
Tomorrow: An episode which makes you cry. (Though in a good way, not like that movie).

An Episode That Makes You Cry
I'm going to cheat a bit, and give two examples, because they're not really episodes as a whole, but scenes. Incidentally, they both include Iroh, who is awesome.
- The scene in the finale where Iroh and Zuko are reunited. Its just so heart warming, as we see the two of them finally back together. Zuko has finally realisd what's most important to him, and Iroh gets to see how much he's loved and appreciated....and its simply amazing, okay?
....do....do I need to explain? *cries*
Tomorrow: An episode you can watch over and over.

From Mark's review, "On Thursday and Friday, I’m going to post one-off reviews that will be largely non-spoilery about two shows I think each of you should watch when you have the time because they have brought me much joy."
I'm guessing one of the shows is Luthor because he's talked about it a lot on tumblr.

An Episode You can watch over and over.
Honestly, I could probably keep on watching any of these episodes again, and there are only three or four I would purposely skip over. However, if I had to choose one or two....I think it would probably be 'Zuko Alone' and 'The Fire Bending Masters'. The former because I love Zuko, and that 'day in the limelight episode' was sweet, sad and chilling all at the same time, and the latter because the animation is beautiful, its great to see the new character interactions...and, er, I really like Zuko?
Tomorrow: Favourite fanart from anything in the series.
Other random note: I need to stop phasing out in my lectures. Seriously, today I look away for fifteen seconds, and when I look back I'm like "River Song, why are you doing in my anthropology class?"
...seriously, though, most random picture of a River Song trading card to ever appear in a powerpoint presentation.

Favourite Fanart from the series
This is hard. Like, really, really hard, because there's so much gorgeous fanart out there, and I don't even know where to begin. Also, I'm not completely sure how to post actual pictures off dA, so I'm kind limited by google. *sadness*
Oooh, this one! http://www.freshcharacters.com/wp-content/uploads...
...and, Korra?

Who would you love to be the voice actor for, and why?
This is such a difficult question for, because I love so many of the characters, and I especially love the voice actors who portrayed them, so this feels like I'm kicking them out. If, though, I'd been offered a chance, I'd probably go with either Sokka or Azula.
Sokka is the character I'm probably most like, even though I'm a girl. (I bet I could make my voice sound boyish enough to play him, though, especially with digital effects). He's so deliciously sarcastic, ,and while a bit of a bumbling fool, also intelligent and a bit of a romantic. He'd just be a fun character to play! Also, I think it would be sweet to play more of his protective, brotherly moments with Katara.
Azula because- let me tell you- playing villains is fun. I don't think I could hold a candle to Grey Delisle's portrayal of her, but I'd certainly enjoy being the most cunning, manipulative villains ever to grace television screens.
How about you guys? Who'd you love to play?
Tomorrow: Our final day: Describe your faacourite, least favourite, and overall greatest times in the series.

Hi Everybody!
National Novel Writing Month is coming up and I am going to give it the old college try again. I think it would be cool to add some folks from Mark's Community to my friends list to motivate me. My username there is Nibor, if you're participating please feel free to add me and vice versa.

8 Hunger Games Character Posters Released
Katniss and Peeta look appropriately Katniss and Peeta-ish, but Gale looks too much like Taylor Lautner for my taste... I'm still kind of disappointed at the casting choice for Haymitch for some reason. Rue, Cato, and Effie are perfect. I'm actually pretty optimistic about Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, and THEY ACTUALLY PUT GOLD EYELINER ON HIM. :D

Describe your favorite, least favorite, and overall the greatest times in the series.
From the wordering, I think this means not moments, but times- the periods where you found yourself enjoying the show the most, or the least, the period you wish you could go and relive again.
I came into fandom pretty late, but here are my opinions;
- Best: I think I have to say going through this with Mark, and getting a chance to shamelessly fangirl over everything, and watch as new fans were made.
- Worst: Well, while the long haituses were painful, it doesn't hold a candle to the days just after The Last Airbender movie was released. Knowing that the show's chance to make it big had failed, knowing that a 'fan' had butchered it, knowing that tonnes of people around the world would think of that when we said we were avatar fans...dark days. Dark days indeed.
- Most awesome: Definitely the days just before the final episodes were released, and as it came out. It was glorious, and a little bit sad to see it coming to an end. The expectation always makes it so wonderful, and I'm seeing glimmers of that with Korra, so be prepared!
AND WITH THAT, THE END OF THE AVATAR MEME!
Thank you for joining us!
