The Last Airbender New Trailer
Shit yeah.
The casting is messed up as hell, but this movie looks cool as hell. And honestly, I hope its kickass because I want a second movie so that I can see the fierce bitches below on a large-ass movie screen.
Especially my crazy bb Azula!
Also, I saw Agora with Rachel Weisz last night. It was amazing, wonderful, beautiful, heart-breaking and captivating. I highly, highly, highly, highly recommend it.

IMPORTANT:
*This very helpful text was written by original uploader*
The film is a Spanish production, and it has some text in Spanish, merely to provide information, at some points throughout the movie. I'm assuming the reason why these are in Spanish and not English when the entire film is in English is that they were lifted straight from the Spanish production. Here then is the text (Spanish is my native language, but they have some tricky words in there, so apologies if they're not precisely 100% on the money.)
Text is on screen 4 times. Here they are in the order (and time of appearance) they come in.
CD1 - 35seconds in: Towards the end of the IV century, the Roman empire had begun to collapse. Alexandria, in the Egyptian province, still conserved part of its splendor. It possessed one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World: the legendary Lighthouse, and the largest known Library. The Library was not only a cultural symbol but a religious one, a place where the Pagans venerated their ancestral gods. The traditional pagan cult coexisted now in the city with the Jews, and with an unstoppable religion, until recently prohibited: Christianity.
CD1 - 3:21seconds in: Library at Alexandria, 391AD
CD2 - 3:38seconds in: After the capture of the Library, many Pagans converted to Christianity, and Alexandria lived a period of peace. Hypatia continued teaching and researching, while her disciples occupied important posts in the social elite. The Empire divided in two forever more. Many Christians saw this as a signal of the end times and decided to prepare by practicing a more holy life. The order of Parabolan monks was in charge of rounding the streets to safeguard Christian morality, now only disturbed by the presence of the Jews.
The Library, years later...
THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS, SO DON'T READ UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE SEEN THE FULL MOVIE.
CD2 - Before closing credits: The body of Hypatia was mutilated and her remains dragged through the streets and burned. Orested disappeared forever and Cirilo obtained the power in Alexandria. Later on, Cirilo was declared a Saint and Doctor by the Church. There is no written work by Hypatia, but it is known that she was an exceptional astronomer, known for her mathematical studies about coned curves. 1200 years later, on the XVII century, astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered that one of those curves, the ellipsis, ruled the movement of the planets.
And finally, thank goodness it's a long weekend! I need sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.

Date: 2010-02-17 02:31 am (UTC)I know, right? It's like Megan Fox is single-handely keeping masturbating in style ... well, I guess masturbating has never gone out of style, but Megan Fox sure makes it easier! lol
The Airbender movie looks soooo good! I've never even heard of the tv show.
The TV show is really, really good. In took me a few episodes to get into the first season, but I did and the second and third season blew me out of the water. Really good show.
I doubt the movie will be nearly as good, but the movie does look like it will be cool as hell, so I'm in :)
ty for Agora!
You're most welcome!
Really? That is so cool bb! (But I thought you were from Canada? *is confused* Don't they speak English and French in Canada?)
I am Canadian, and a lowly one at that who can only speak English (French is our other national language though). I just copied that text from the place I got the download, and that poster was Spanish. I didn't even realize that line about being a native Spanish speaker was in there *facepalm*
