That was pretty much Verhoeven's point, right? That all the pro-war cliches stuffed into action flicks are actually pretty vile?
Whereas M. Night's just throwing himself a massive pity party: "You know what I don't know what the disconnect is ... I'm speaking a different language I guess."

I feel sorta bad for the actors. I get that learning to deal with failure is a life lesson and all that crap, but I doubt 12 year old me would have handled this very well. Hell, I probably wouldn't handle it well now.
Ikrik:
I've heard that Jake Lloyd pretty much hates his entire involvement with that horrible movie and that kids still make fun of him for it. I saw an interview with him a while ago and he seemed REALLY bitter about the whole experience. I wonder if "Aang" is going to feel the same way years down the road or if The Last Airbender is going to tank so badly that no one will even remember. My guess is no one will remember it in five years, unless it does well enough for them to continue.
Also, if this film does really badly, will it help spell the way for the death of 3-D? I certainly hope so.
Alex C:
Don't be silly. They charge more for tickets for 3d. It's here to stay.
Ikrik:
Yeah, but how much does it cost to turn a movie into 3-D? If enough of these films flop the amount it costs to invest in the 3-D will be sacrificed....won't it? If enough people stop paying to see these stupid 3-D conversions it has to stop, right?
Hollywood is already saying that people are starting to get sequel fatigue and are considering not making so many sequels/prequels because people are starting to get sick of them and the box office numbers aren't AS high as they expected them to be. At what point will they decide that people have 3-D fatigue and decide to stop this rather annoying trend?
