here's the pic:

If I try to follow your link, I end up seeing it is forbidden to view this page...

"Forbidden

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."


Is it just me?

Sorry about that folks. The pic should work now.

Frankly, I am not confident about the Last Airbender movie. It looks way too dark. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I think I remember that episode. That's great! :D

Yeah, I'm hoping the movie will be as good as the previews suggest. Love the cartoon.

The reviews of the movie aren't very good.

According to this review, there was footage that was shot specifically for the trailer that does not actually appear in the movie...
