So I went to see the Last Airbender last night. WORST. MOVIE. EVER. Only second to High School Musical. And yes, I have seen HSM. I want my hour and a half of my life back, Zac Efron!
First, I guess I'll say some good things about the sad attempt to recreate a beloved children's TV show:
- The CG was pretty impressive, I thought. The waterbending caught my eye especially. Pretty.
- The costumes and sets were really well done too. They were believable and ethnic.
- Appa was soooooo cute!!!!
- They managed to capture Aang's turmoil and distress without making it too angsty or annoying.
- The soundtrack was good. It's not my favourite, but it was good none the less.
And now, the things I hated about it compared to the series:
- No Bumi!
- Haru's just a little boy!
- Aang is no fun at all - he's too serious!
- Zhao's sideburns were pathetic!
- Fire benders can't create their own fire?! What the hell?
- Katara was too much of a wuss
- Master Paku was too nice
- Sokka wasn't sarcastic enough
- Speaking of Sokka, what was with that obnoxiously long ponytail?
- They changed the pronunciations for Iroh, Aang, and Sokka
- Iroh wasn't obsessed with tea and food! And he wasn't fat!
- No froth man! (You know, the crazy rabid man on Kyoshi Island)
- NO KYOSHI WARRIORS!! Big plot hole for the future!
- NO CABBAGE MAN!!!
And at last, things I hated about the movie on its own:
- No plot
- Battle scenes dragged on too long
- Overused slow mo effect
- THE WORST DIALOGUE WRITING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED
- Too fast paced when it needed to be slower and too slow when it needed to be faster.
- It just sucked, all right?!
I gave it a chance and, well, it really disappointed me even when I tried to look at it in a different perspective. If there are going to be sequels, I hope that they'll learn from their blatant mistakes in this first film.
Now, I'm going to watch the entire first season of the Last Airbender TV series so my image of it won't be tainted for good!

New Account!
Hello all,
Thanks for the watches and the favs and all that jazz. I really appreciate the love!
However, I have started a new account on DA which will (in theory) contain much higher quality of art but with all the same nerdy goodness that everyone loves.
Username: Soaryn-Bird
Please check it out! I'd offer you cupcakes if I could. There aren't a lot of pieces up (yet) but there will be more as time goes by!
Thank you all and see you soon!

I'm So Lazy Sometimes...
Sooooo...It's been a really long time since I've posted any art on here. It's not that I haven't been drawing at all (I might be a music major, but some of my classes are just downright boring and are great for sketch practice!), it's just that I've been so busy I can't even keep up with my Facebook! Grrr....
Regardless, I promise to get some new art up on the site as soon as I can. It's definitely been way too long.
Hope everyone's having an amazing Spring so far!! =D
Eight Things That Are Mostly About College-Ish
Time to get rid of my "I Hate M. Night Shamyalan" journal entry because I just got tagged by !RyovariLovett (https://www.deviantart.com/ryovarilovett). Woo!
1. You have to post the rules in your journal entry.
2. Each tagged person tells 8 random things about himself/herself.
3. Then tag 8 more people and put their icons in your journal.
4. Then go to their pages and leave them a "you've been tagged" message.
5. NO TAG BACKS!!!
Take notes everyone - there WILL be a test!
1. Monday's the day I go off to college (which is in five days. Yikes!)
2. I just came back from the hair salon and now my hair is uber shiny and silky smooth... *won't stop touching hair*
3. I just boug
Oops!
I forgot to put the last two pieces of my AP portfolio up on DA. My bad! In other news, I am now 18 and am graduated from high school. Victory dance!! :dance:
Do expect some more work over the summer. I'm working on a sweet fan art piece right now!

I haven't even seen it yet and I was irritated when I heard it pronounced "Ahng".
