The Last Airbender - Sokka 1Beating a Dead Horse: A Visual Comparison of the Racially Confused Casting in "The Last Airbender"

Much ado has been made about the casting of white actors in the upcoming film adaptation of the Nickelodeon TV show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

82nd Academy Awards - HeaderFinding the Common Ground: Fun Facts About the 82nd Academy Award Nominees

In a surprise twist, this year's Academy Award nominations are less terrible than usual. In lieu of an article explaining why that is though (read: I don't care enough to write one), here are some random observations and bits of trivia that have no useful bearing on anything that matters.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps - Trailer HeaderWe Judged Too Soon: Fantastic "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" Trailer Instantly Validates Sequel's Existence
