No Im not talking about movies like the Bicyle Thief. Im talking about movies that have a lot of Italian characters in it. I want to know your favorite scenes. Obviously the "I amuse you" scene from Good Fellas will be included along with a number of God Father scenes, but recently I watched a movie I haven't seen in years. "The Wanderers" There is a scene in the movie that takes place in a class room between Italians and black people that just might be about the most racist scene in any movie, but it goes back and forth equally between the black and white people that is fall off your chair funny. A must see. Another scene I love is in the movie 29th Street where Anthony Lapagglia is taking a physical for the draft that would send him to Nam and when he has to do the vision test the doctor tells him to read the bottom line. Instead of reading off the letters he replies "taglethorp" The doctor looks at the sign and then at him and tells him "get the fuck out of here" The whole scene is classic funny but that particular part is just great. tell me your favorites.

I actually forgot a good horror movie. Now this is with out a doubt one of mixed reacations, but what horror movie isn't. I do know this, for those who do like it, love it. I don't scared from horror movies at all (the occasional jump of course tho, but I also jumped when Nigini, the big snake in Harry Potter jumped at the screen AND while it was anticipated). It's not that this is a shit your pants scary movie, but it's more of a freaky deaky creepy scary movie. A movie where when you consider the situation you tell yourself that it's fucking downright horrible. Like watching a wildabeast in one of those documentaries get eaten by a lion while he's on a year long migration thru the Serengetti. That kind of fucked up situation only worse. The movie is 30 Days of Night and it's fucking great. What a vampire movie SHOULD be.

I completely forgot about Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Awsome. Kinda weird owning a Boxer and then seeing one on film with bums head on it. Oh and @not_a_bumblebee, I agree, Timothy Olyphant CAN'T do no wrong.

@Romination: The Hills have eyes could have been better. Not that Im a weirdo or anything but the trailer scene seemed watered down. At first when it started I was "Holy shit, this looks bad" then it basically turned into pillow fight. I did like it right after tho when the father (Buffalo Bill) was standing there holding a phone or walkie talkie and one of the freaky deakys was talking jibberish on it.

@Mistress_Redhead: When ever I actually even respond to ANYTHING on here, or anywhere for that matter, I usually never expect anyone to even read it...........So thank you...............Also, when I did start out with "hope you read mine as it's the best" that was an attempt of mine at trying to be funny. I also, like just mentioned, didn't even expect anyone TO read it. My intention at first tho was to leave you a simple response as to why Blade Runner is considered to be the classic it is. Then I remembered that the first time I saw it was with the narraration and started typing and just couldn't stop. For some reason while I was making my point I kept having other points pop up in my head that I was convinced that I just couldn't leave out. Ive never been a good speller.......ever............I even have to minimize pages and bring up Google another page to check my spelling sometimes. Im that bad. As for no spacing, once again, I was just to into what I was writing. I do that when I talk sometimes too. Just ramble, but if you have the patience I'll make my point. When I looked at it again after I was finished I saw how long it was and was convinced NO ONE would give it the time of reading, so thanks to any and all who did. I left alone on purpose tho because if you did read it, and somehow enjoyed, then maybe you'll read something else I respond to if you see that I did. With me it's always simply "what you see is what you get' In the end tho I hope that I at least made some good points for you as to why it's a classic. Hopefully it wasn't just some rambleing by some weirdo who read your question, because it was really a GREAT question you asked backed up with WHY you were asking it. Not many people do that. Hopefully more people will. Im going to once I think of movie Ive asked myself that same question about.

If you're willing to go PAST series like Breaking Bad then I would have to reccommend Dead Wood without hesitation. Deadwood or Justified. Also if you are considering Anime' then I say FUCK Japan and go for what is without the best American animation ever.(Oh, and this isn't just me saying this, you can check out multiple multiple web pages or whatever saying this also) Batman The Animated Series. It was actually made at first to appeal to adults. That was their objective. Fox was going to televise it at 10 p.m. right after Frasier at first because it was so adult oriented. The show plays out a lot like Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Each is it's own seperate little films and a lot of times it doesn't focus on Batman but villains and other characters. That's why it was so damn cool. Then I recommend watching Justice League Unlimited. Skip the Justice league and go straight for Justice League Unlimited which was just like Batman the Animated Series. By having 30 something members on the Justice League pretty much every episode showcased a differant character.................or 2. Oh, and it's not for kids. I only recommend this because you listed anime' otherwise I never get the chance to actually tell someone to watch it without looking like a moron. This should tell you something about just how good it actually is. I own them all. 4 full seasons of Batman and 3 seasons of Justice League Unlimited. Sure I got the Superman seasons and the Justice League, but Batman and JL Unlimited are just masterfull.

WOW there are a lot of posts about this question, I hope you actually READ mine. You should tho because it's obviously going to be the best one. The first time I saw it was in summer school for history to just make up a credit I needed to graduate. Everyday, because the class was 4 hours, we got to watch a movie. They were all history movies. On the last movie, as a treat, we saw a futuristic movie. We veiwed the directors cut of Blade Runner, so the first time I saw it with the narraration. (nararration is considered in Hollywood to be one of those unwritten rules of not doing. exceptions pending) I watched the movie hearing Harrison Fords thoughts. I LOVED the movie for a few reasons. I won't lie tho. Just before the movie while on break I smoked a HUGE joint of killer weed. In 1993 Chicago Killer Weed was very scarce so I mildly say this, I was fucking STONED TO THE BONE) I was happy there was movie cuz I was certain I was gonna get busted because I was obviously high looking. Anyway. The story pretty damn interesting. It brought up a lot of are considered to become problems we as Earthling are going to have in the future. I took a Sci-fi class in H.S. so I recognized these topics. Off world travelling, Over population, cloning, to much garbage (they show this in the movie), A.I. becoming self aware and also rebelling. these were all in the movie, but only A.I. becoming self aware and rebelling was the actual topic so to throw the other in it as a side thing was awsome. Sure the acting was great, but thru the nararration you got to hear Harrison's thoughts, but also what he thought other characters were. So when he described other charcters he mentions a few things about them that you might not have considered by yourself. Or he might tell you something about a characters history that gives Harrisons character a connection with them you didn't know about. It actually works well with the movie and is why I think I like it so much. I do prefer the non-narrartion version better for reasons, but if you really want to actually enjoy this movie like you sound you do, then watch it this way. What can hurt. You were right about one thing tho. Rutger did NAIL it. He's made some many God damn awful movies after that, but if you saw Blade Runner and love it, then you actually get a little excited anytime you see he's going to be in a movie coming out. What he does at the end of Blade Runner is almost to hard to explain why it's so good. When he dies you can't help but, in your head, run thru the other scenes with him in them. 3 I think. You sympathize for him, you're soooo happy Harrison sympathizes too. You tell yourself that what he does in the movie is what you would have done if you were him. It's not like when you watch say Denzel act in a movie at some part and he nails it. I like usind Deja' Vu because it's movie that doesn't get a lot of love, but that's why my point is a good one. During the movie he's looking somekind of board with info about a killer. He's walking back and forth, no talking but pacing. It's SUCH good acting because he's obviously thinking and movies don't usually show actors thinking. He does this a few movies and that's why I believe this particular scene showing him think wasn't actually written in the screenplay. I can't imagine someone writing a screenplay and putting down that we now see the antaganist pace back and forth thinking to himself. It should tho, it makes movies cooler, but I understand how writers can easily neglect this. That's the point tho. That little "thinking" thing that Denzel did there was just brilliant. It made me as a veiwer connect with him. The connection was that I am human and so is Denzel. Sure we know he's human but we also know that more then likely things will work out for him. Hero's in movies don't have to think. They know juuuuuuust what to do out of instinct, so that little thing he does is great because it says to us watching him as a hero "Sure things are gonna work out because I AM the FUCKING hero of this movie, but I also have to THINK about what I'm going to do next" It makes what so many movie hero's end up lacking in movies, and not on purpose. It shows us valnerability. Clint Eastwood did this in Unforgiven when the scarred hooker tells him how Morgan Freeman was killed. Clint (the alcoholic) starts to drink from a bottle. But in all of this. After what might seem as useless rant by me, my point is this if you actually finished reading this. Rutger nailed in that way that we can't explain. He nailed in the way that we can only FEEL. Here he is, robot. Here he is acting like what we think is evil. We thought we were watching a protaganist then he saves Harrison and says something profoundly (I can't BELIEVE I forgot what it was but Im going put it on right after this to find out) and dies. All of a sudden we feel awful for Rutger. We almost feel ashamed at ourselves because we rooted against Rutger and hoping he would die because he was OBVIOUSLY evil. In split second he turned that on us. We remember his previous scenes and his questions. We know that basically we were playing God, and when he asks his maker why he was created and is told to be a slave, then asks a question along the lines of does God love us too and since a human made him does that make humans his God. After being told, I don't know to both, and then also that, even tho a human did play God and created "Life" with all that power the godly human didn't have the power to extend Rutgers life span. We also feel for Rutger for that reason when he dies. We feel that his God let him down. That he was created, without asking to be, for something he didn't want to be. We know that his questions couldn't be answered. In that scene Rutger did something great. It made something that we knew wasn't human seem all the more human then we actually are. He asked the questions that a lot of people ask and never have answered and that's why it's great. So maybe it is explainable, it just takes a really long time to do.

@TheSavageAssasin: It's actually better when you're high. Or, and this is the perfect time for this, while playing a CD to another soundtrack that as a dork you bought. Im not talking about Pulp Fiction or the Crow either. I myself own Braham Stokers Dracula.

I wouldn't call The Thing the best scary movie ever made. It's just one of the BEST movies ever made. It's just one of those John Carpenter movies that falls into his catagory. When it comes to Carpenter he holds the record (or maybe John Hughes) as making the kind of movie that when ever you put it on, at any point, you more then likely watch the rest. There a bunch of these movies. Man on Fire, Pulp Fiction, Jose Whales, Private Ryan, Gladiator, Brave Heart, The MOTHER FUCKING Godfather, Empire Strikes Back and few others. They are the kind of movie that, say you turn it on when it's already an hour into it, you say "I want to see this one part coming up really quick" then you.....just......watch...........the........rest.....of....it. I do this with other Carpenter Movies. Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from N.Y., Christine, They Live, I do this with ALL John Hughes movies. If you want good horror movie I have few to mention. I have post of horror remakes that you should follow. check them out, IT WILL HELP GUARANTEED. or just watch 10 to Midnight, Friday the 13th part 2 (Jason DOES run in this), Excorsist (I'll asume you have) and the new movie the Rite is pretty fucking creepy. I'll come back again and post more, I've just gone blank for some reason. Motel Hell is old, but creepy too.

who the fuck is Emma Stone. Anyone else notice she sounds like she could be a member of the X-Men, or a British pop artist with a name like that??

I decided to make this post because I just watched Fright Night and Let Me In right before it. I realized both are remakes. One is a remake of what was a "Cult Classic" and might actually just be a "Classic" now, and that was Fright Night. Let Me In on the other hand is a remake of a foreign film of less then five years. Norway or Sweden or some shit. I might be wrong on both accounts but there were a lot of blonde haired people in it and there was snow, so I'm gonna be an asshole and profile it. (Fuck you, I can do that if I want to) Anyway. Most people don't really like the horror remakes of late. I understand why to. Halloween is simply just a supberb movie. 15 years ago you would not let a little kid see it, but now, with the movies that are made, and even showned on channels like FX or Spike are just so damn bloody and gorey it makes the original Halloween look tame, and it is. Halloween, NOW, is the type of movie I would catagorize in more of a suspence horror movie then just outright horror. Hitchcock did this the best, M. Night does this okay himself. The scary thing about Halloween are scenes like where the babysitter is on the phone and behind her Myers face appears just to disappear right when the baby sitter turns around. You don't have that kind of horror and that is suspence. Anyway, before I get even more of track my point is this. I go into watching every remake with the mind set of "Don't even EXPECT this movie to even compare to the original" By doing this it takes away from me being let down. It helps. In fact, most of these movies are exactly what I think they will be. Halloween was the exception. The first remake I saw was Texas Chainsaw Mas. At first I just couldn't get my eys off of Jessica Beils ass. The movie is worth watching just for that. 2nd, the 1st scene of Leatherface in real action wairing Jessica's boyfriends face made me go "HOLY SHIT" then he ran after her. The movie was okay. freaky deaky enough to make me not change it to something else. The original, which is not that great of a movie, just so damn violent that it made people talk about it, and another movie that could stand up to it in terms of violence for years until Hellraizer or Braveheart. I used this idea when I saw Friday the 13th. I liked it. It was exactly what I thought it was going to be. Jason Ran. Nightmare on Elmhurst, the same thing. I liked it because it was exactly what I thought it was going to be. I haven't seen the Thing yet, but I just LOOOOOVE the original, which is actually a remake. Most John Carpenter movies are classics. Those movies you watch no matter where or what part you put it on at. As for Holloween by Rob Zombie, I'm a bit conflicted about. After seeing his other movies I've come to the conclusion that he can't direct. He hires the right people to surround himself with and do OUTSTANDING photography, cinematagraphy, and editing to his films, because the dialogue by some pretty good actors just comes off like shit. You can tell they're are acting and thats a bad thing. The dialogue is bad. So bad you tell yourself that nobody in the world talks like that to other people. In fact, nobody talks like that to anyone else in movies. But here's the conflicting part. If you haven't seen the movie and want, then rent it or borrow it so you can do this.........Fast forward the beginning of the movie til Mike is grown up and breaks out of the Loony Bin. I'm gonna assume that with Halloween being the classic it is you've seen it so you know Mike kills his sister as a kid, goes crazy, grows up, gets called "Pure Evil" by his doctor of 10 years, puts on mask, kills a bunch of kids while stalking his sister and pretty much repeats this process for 20 years till H20 where he was suppossed to die but doesn't because Busta Rhymes fights him in the next sequel. Anyway, after fastforwarding the movie takes off to places even I didn't expect. Mike is now played by an actual monster "Sabretooth from X-men". Why the hell his first victom after his breakout stands up to him is beyond comprehention. (I'm John Greisly BITCH). Without even killing anyone, but just seeing this guy in the Michale Meyers white William Shatner mask (comes complete with eye holes enlarged for killing entertainment) and a mechanics full sized grease monkey's pajama work outfit is creepy enough. What ensues is just awsome. I usually don't like over bloodyness for the sake of being over bloody but it works here. He kills very violently. More then anticapated and that I never thought would happen but it does. He kills violently, methodically, and sadistically. He made he go, "What the fuck" a few times. Not since I was 8 years old and snuck my viewing of Halloween and Friday the 13th, Bloody Valentine, 10 to Mid-Night, have I even been remotely scared by any horror movie. Not that this scared me either, but it did make me go "this is just about the most evil killer Ive ever seen in a movie in terms of being able to watch the murders" It's just nuts. If you fastforward the movie like I reccommend then the movie is was you want it to be if you saw the original and always wanted to see the remake. In fact it should actually excede expectations it's done that well. If you disagree then watch it again, just make sure to fastforward it first. If you don't, and you happen to watch the unbievably horror un-needed orgin of Michael Meyers then the movie will be horrible. So horrible that I will sound like not only an idiot but an asshole as well. So bad that my reccommendation of veiwing it a second time after fast forwarding it won't matter. The beginning of the movie IS that bad and ruined what actually is a very good and modernized remake of a movie that most what have said should never be remade. Anyway. I got of subject but stayed on it as well. I really do want to know whay you people think is the best horror remake. I also think I made my points of how to approach a remake of movie that you LOVED. I now hate it when I hear someone say they hated the remake. Really? Did you actually expect it be better then the original that you fell in love with and watched a 1,000 times? If so, then you're an idiot and deserve to be dis-satisified. If you go into watching the movie with expectations of it not being as good but as good to a certain level, then you should be satisfied. Friday 13 and Elm Street was exactly that when I changed my mind set. They were exactly what I thought they would be. People were just so happy to see Jason running in the trailor they thought it would be a masterpiece, instead we got kids smoking weed, some real nice titties, a hockey mask and machete, some real dumbass decisons, and actually something that we have never ever seen in the originals..............a gun, but that falls into the "some real dumbass decisions" quote. I'm just pissed that few things that made it so good, and after the producers said they wanted to keep what made the originals good so to make the fans happy, they didn't. Lack of string quortette music, Jason breathing, and not showing Jason til the end except for a few brief much needed moments.

Fright Night remake. I liked a whole hell of a lot. First off it was good vampire movie, which we haven't had in while, even I really liked Let the Right One In, and the American remake Let Me In. Which is funny, because I had watched that right before Fright Night, so I'll rate that too. Fright Night did have a bit of that teenie bopper date movie. It's a horror remake, which are popular right now, it had some scary jumpy moments, it had humor. It was changed just enough from the remake to make it it's own movie, which is a good thing, but had enough of the old movie in it to keep it familiar. I'll definately watch it again, and I've already reccommended it to a couple people. Recommending horror movies made right now, none the less a remake of a classic horror movie is not an easy thing to do lately. I'd give it a 2.5 out 4. Fuck the 5 star rating I go with the classic Siskel and Ebert "out of 4" star rating system I grew up with. 4 being a "I just saw what is going to be a classic" I would put The Godfather, Saving Private Ryan, Brave Heart, Gladiator, Outlaw Jose Whales in this group just to make a point. A 4 star movie is something that when you just watched it, you know that other people are going to say "It's a GREAT movie" These movies did that to me. Sometimes I saw them before most people or I was one of those that heard about it and had to see it for myself. I say Private Ryan and told everyone about it. Gladiator and Braveheart I heard about. Outlaw Jose Whales, I just remember hearing about when I was a kid, and everyone going "If you like Cowboy movies, this is the best one ever. This and The Wild Bunch" They were right. I was blown away. Actually the last movies that had this effect on me were Batman Begins, which I saw alone and was just floored, and Dark Knight Returns...........Also Se7en. Anyway 3 being a "this is a real good movie. Better then the average movie" Movie like this are films that can actually go up in taste in future veiwings. Knowing you just saw a real good movie, but not sure just how good. 2.5 is completely watchable. Watchable enough that you might like it better then me, or even worse. Fright Night was that. I liked it enough to score it 3 but Im reasonable to know that some people might not like it so I give it 2.5. I only rate 3 when I know its good. If someone told me they don't like a 3 star movie then they're an idiot and conversation of debates insues. As for "Let Me In" I saw "Let the right one in" first and loved it. Most American remakes of Foreign films just blow. There are some exceptions, The departed being maybe the best one, so I was doubtful of this of course. It was just great in my opinion. It kept the same look to it in terms of............how do you say.............lighting..................photography.............? But had enough changes in it to make it it's own. A really good movie. Creepy as hell. Well acted by kids so that was nice because some kids just over act. Enough things in this movie that the other didn't have to make me notice that the original didn't have it and say to myself "That's cool that that is in it. It wasn't in the original". It made the same points the original made. I can sell to other people to see it because it doesn't have sub-titles, and it's just a good creepy ass movie. this movie I give a 3 stars for. To me, personally, this is a very emotional movie. A movie that is slow enough that it makes you think while watching, but not slow enough that it might actually bore some people watching it. When it was over, I was still thinking about differant parts of the movie. That to me is a good movie. To some, it's just to much of a chore. This movie should not do that because it's only about an hour and half so it doesn't drag, and when it does slow down, it heats up at just the right times to make the veiwer Have to pay attention because it's a horror movie and it grabs you. Don't listen to people. watch it. Even more so if you like "SCARY" vampire movies and not gay vegeterian vampires. If you saw, and enjoyed the original then you should watch it also because of the reason I just mentioned. If you don't like it then you're an idiot and a conversation of debate is about to ensue.

@Turtlefuzz: I might sound like an asshole right now, but you're a crackhead. B.S. 2 was so bad I didn't make it thru. The 1st is simply great. There's a reason it's beyong cult favorite and just a favorite. If people read you responce I won't be the only one telling you just how dumb of statement you actually just made. I just might be one of the nicer ones, and I'm trying to be nice about it.

I would say the original 3 S.W.'s then Lord of the Rings. LOTR is brilliant except for the 30 to 40 minutes at the end that just draaaaaaaaged on and has us ALL saying to ourselves and the people next to us. "Jesus, what the fuck. will he throw the ring the fire already." For some reason I heard ALOT of people say they didn't like the 3rd one, not because it was bad, because it was to long. Thats actually stupid to me. I guess after seeing 2 3 hour movies already, and then more then likely only a day or 2 before one DVD or one of the multiple playing back to back screenings on like 7 differant cable channels at once. I hated the end because not one major player died. Only Baulamir in the first one. Sure some characters died, but heavy side characters. None of the "Fellowship" Gotta go with S.W. on this. To S.W. fans this is what we would say is "A stupid Question". Re-post this subject again after the Dark Knight Rises comes out, because we just might be having a new "BEST" trilogy coming to us in the near future.

depends.   Just waking up fried all the way.  Late at night or drunk and I gotta go with scrambled. 

@HandsomeDead:
that's what I was thinking.  I remember being about 4 years old and my 10 year old older brother putting on the original My Bloody Valentin and I wasn't scared but I woked up drenched in sweat.  Then the next week (Halloween) I watched, Halloween and that movie freaked me out a little because Myers face would show in the darkness and then dissapear.  When he goes for Jamie whats her name in the closet and you can hear him groaning thru the mask stuck with me.  Friday the 13th part 2 was scary for a 4 year old too, but it was the music that made it that way, that and Jason chasing that chic while he wore a pototo sack on his head.  People forget Jason actually ran in his original movie.  Then there's 10 to midnight.  "I don't love you, I just want to stick it to you" naked dude running around killing people.  scary for any man.  So glad Charlie Majestic killed him.  Those movie kind seen by a 4 year old leave every other scary movie ever made not so scary. 

@ScanCase:
I also had a feeling he was dead when he walks into the restaurant and tries to grab the check and she pulled it away.  For me it was more of a "Wow I was right, and man did that ugly little kid act his fucking ass off."  Someone on here mentioned that Eastern Promises was bad twisting ending.  I think they stole from the first  God Father in the sense that he was now gonna be the leader of the Russian Mob, not just arrest the people or kill them.  It had the same feeling as God Father because Michael wasn't supposed to end up the head, where can this go from here.  Same thing with Eastern Promises.  Where does it go from here?

@sopranosfan:
Yeah , the guy sho said Ususal Suspects was a bad twist ending is a crack head.  Its pretty much what makes the movie a classic, am I wrong.  I do somewhat agree with the ending of the villiage being the worst twist ending, but the movie sucked as a whole so by the time the end came around I was just glad the movie was over.  Sith Sense had a good twist, Unbreakable had good twist being the Jackson was a villian and being a comic reader myself the end was even that much better.  It still holds it's place amongst the best comicbook movies ever made and its not even a comic book.  Signs was real good movie as well, the twist wasn't the water either, the twist to the movie was connections.  The son having asthma, the "It didn't feel right not to swing" and having faith because God has a plan for everyone.  My pick for horrible twist ending was Law Abiding Citizen.  The whole tunnel system carved out by one dude in a year was just WEAK.  total let down since the movie was good til then. 

 I actually like shyamalan films.  Not this one, but his others.  Wait......scratch that......I don't like the village either.  The Happening wasn't bad to me until the end.   There was still some creepy shit happening.  The acting was horrible, just horrible.  Not a huge Marky mark fan to begin with, John Legwilzliwhatshisname is so high strung and in his normal attitude that playing a Shyamalan type of character that usually a little more taken back was just bad casting.  The village I don't even have talk about how bad that was.  Such a waist of good cast, except for Opie Cunningham's ugly daughter.  She has the look of 'Im gonna be a real ugly fat girl one day, and Im pretty pasty now."  Sixth Sense, Unbreakeble, and Sign were just superb.  Im a Catholic so Signs might have meant a little something more to me, or Christian who went to private school and had religion rammed in their faces.  That being the whole messege of the film.  The water thing didn't make sense because.....well....it rains here, but the "Swing away" thing had a big part to do with the movie, and everything tied in to it well.  The acting was brilliant, the dialogue was great, and the suspence was done well.  Now here is the kicker.  I saw "The Last the Air Bedner" and enjoyed the shit out of it.  I never saw the cartoon so I couldn't debate the similarities there.  I didn't think the dialogue was cheesy either because it's another timeline all together and since Im not from there who am I to say they don't talk like that.  The effects were good (saw it 2-D) it never slowed down, and the fight scenes were well done.  I don't know how people bashed this film, and I think they did because M. Nights last three movies were considered just bad,  very bad.  I also liked "The Lady in the Water"  I think the title was a bit shitty, but the movie was good.  I like fantasy movies and making one modern was pretty cool.  The humor was good. the little twists were good, but I can see how some people wouldn't like the movie.  I did.  I saw a lot of Hitchcock in it which I enjoyed, but I won't debate this movie at all becaus if one doesn't like then he doesn't like it.  I think the Last Airbender will get a better reputation once it's on cable and people watch again.  Plus from what I read about the cartoon, there is no Asia and monks found the kid so arguing if he's Asian or not was redundant 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

@teh_destroyer: that's me, clever
