I am completely unsure what to think about Night doing an Avatar movie. It's one of those things where just trying to do a live action version makes one nervous already. And I just don't see anything in Night's past body of work (much of which i love) that makes me think he'll capture the tone of Avatar faithfully. I just don't know, but as is typical for me, think i'd rather see a feature length animated version than a live action film...
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I forgot about the idiot king spilling all to Azula. I do love this show, but I never known when it is going to come on or how to get my husband into it, so I always end up seeing it on On-Demand, which is not bad, since there are no commercials, I agree that the show continues to evolve. I can't wait to see what these guys do next. If you ask me, it barely resembles the cute kids show it started out with. I can see why it continues to attract an increasing number of adults. Too bad this is the last season. What do you think about M. Night doing the live action version. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > some spoilers.... > > yeah, i posted about it last week, when this aired.
