Rifftrax bends Last Airbender!

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 11, 2010, 10:44 AM
There is hope in this world! I knew there was no way they would ignore tackling this turkey:



Coming Soon Here: [link]

For those of you may not know, Rifftrax are downloadable audio commentaries from the writers & performers of Mystery Science Theater 3000. You get the audio file and use their directions to sync it up to play along with your DVD copy of a film. They then proceed to tear the movie to shreds through "riffs," aka jokes mean to hurt the movies just as much the movies have hurt us. Don't you cry for those movies- They all had it coming.

The best part is this new Rifftrack will be available on the same day Last Airbender hit store shelves- Nov 16th.

Most of you know how near and dear AVATAR the Last Airbender is to me. I can honestly tell you that there is NO way I will ever again view the Shyamalan aberration without Mike, Kevin, and Bill talking over it's painful duration. That said, as with any of the Rifftrax, you of course have to acquire the movie separately on your own. Let me take this time to encourage everyone not to buy the DVD or BluRay. At least not to OWN and at very least, not at full price.

But however you arrange it, be sure to watch it with the Rifftrax! It's the only way I'll personally venture to relive the disappointment, the embarrassment and the out-right pain of M. Night's Better-than-this-excuse-of-a-movie-Franschisebender.

Yes, I am bitter. Yes, I know it shows.

I aplaude Rifftrax for riffing the film. Wow! That film is embarasingly bad it's actually kind of depresive. :(

I heard about this over at the 'wtf_tla' livejournal community[link]

DEAR. LORD.

I'm sorry, even though they're making fun of the film (for which I applaud them)... I can't bring myself to watch it. It's just too painful. Even just the snippets from it hurt my brain and I have to look away.

Give the Rifftrax guys lots of money! In fact pay $6.99 if you can just so they can feed themselves and keep making more :nod:
But as for Paramount, please either pay as little for the DVD film as you can or better yet, don't buy it at all & leave 'em with a huge batch of unsold units. That may be the only way we can prevent the sequels from being made. :XD:

So basically we should have a strike on buying the dvds. Just to make them realize how much we hate that abomination.

Honestly, everyone's free to do as they like. If people want to buy the film, that's their right to do so and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

I just shudder at the thought though that tons of people would run out, buy this thing either out of "collection completism" or curiosity for seeing the worst film of the decade and then it manages to make crazy bank in unit sales. I then forsee the money sharks at Paramount saying, "Hey, the stinker did well in DVD sales! We could probably make a few more dirty bucks by letting Shy-guy make parts 2 & 3 in his now 'proven' successful, special, signature Last Airbender vision.":fear:

i'm more terrified that someone in my family will randomly remember that I love the series, and think "Oh, maybe they havent seen this yet. I bet they will love it" and then proceed to buy me the movie for christmas. And then I will have to hold in my revulsion in place of thanking them for thinking of me even though I would love nothing more than to burn it.

But yeah. I completely agree. From what I remember of the movie during the summer, more people went ot see it, not because of how good it was, but because of word of mouth saying just how bad it was. SO they would go out and waste their money seeing it for themselves. I actually tried to talk a random guy buying tickets out of seeing it months back. Hope it worked.

Yes, but it's usually just $3.99 US.

Ha! I never thought I'd have a reason to watch Shyamalan's epic fail, period. :D I might have to get this commentary, though I have no idea how I'll be getting the movie itself because I don't plan to give any money at all towards it. I guess I'll wait and see how that goes :meow:
