BEND THAT AIR

So I went and saw Avatar the Last Airbender last night with the parentals and I have to admit I was a bit dissapointed. The musical score was probably the best feature of this film, but even amazing music couldn't penetrate the horrid acting of almost every character on the screen. It was one of those situations where you find yourself uncomfortable and embarrassed for the people on the screen.

You know what I'm talking about? Its like you feel compelled to look around and apologize to everyone around you for the movie itself. I found myself wanting to apologize to my parents for attending the movie with me because of how bad it was, but of course my parents typical response after the movie was "It was really good! I loved it!" Best line my Dad said afterwards was "It was cool to see him blow stuff around!" So the night was a success.

It was a fun movie and I did enjoy watching the Avatar "blow stuff around." I found myself afterwards wanting to do all the fluid arm and leg movements of the water benders. And although the concept of using air to hurt people sounds completely wussy, I have to admit after watching this movie, I now have second thoughts...

Man! If only I had the power to control the elements! Shew! I'd totally be using the power of air to do EVERYTHING.

Gotta sweep the house?

BAM. BEND THAT AIR.

Late for work?

BAM. FLY on that Bended Air, fool!

Need to free the world from the tyranny of the Fire Nation?

NO PROBLEM, HOMIE. BEND THAT AIR.

All I'm saying is that I can't think of many practical situations where the power to bend air wouldn't be useful.

I mean, can you?

Didn't think so.
