Comment and I may add you.

I know I've posted this before, but I need to keep it in it's own post so I don't forget what I'm doing.

WHO IS GOING TO PMX???

It looks like I'll be at the convention only on Saturday, but I must see people! I'll be wearing Pandora again...and will hopefully have a Hades.

This is quite the toss up.  It's a close run between David Tennant as the Doctor and Faramir from Lord of the Rings (either the book version or the movie one...).  Yes, I am a dork.

Just a quick little update. I got the boots I ordered for Hungary! And they look really awesome. I feel very bad ass when I wear them. :D

And that is all for today.  My Greek homework isn't going to do itself, after all...

A few years ago my dad was talking about how fun it would be to create completely nonsense fortune cookies that had a sense of humor.  My favorite?  "Your future is as bright as a peach pit."  Come on, how much fun would that be?

In other news, day 1 of school is completed and I'm waiting to start day 2.  I'll write more about school stuff later...

Gah, I'm being ridiculous and posting every day...the corset is 97% done.  I just need to get some bias tape to bind the edges.

Please, please, PLEASE NO!!

I honestly had really high high hopes for this movie.  I was at the panel at Comic-Con and heard Mike and Brian say that it was going to be very like the series and that they were really happy with it.  Perhaps that was just complete BS.  Because honestly, I really can't see this movie being made well with these characters.

The first issue is of race.  One of the most amazing (and unique!) things about Avatar was the diversity.  There are Asians, people with different skintones, etc.  I honestly think that this is one of the many reasons it's a popular thing to cosplay from...almost everyone can find someone they resemble and can pull off.

But really, I'm more worried about the quality of the acting.  I honestly just can't see Jesse McCartney playing Zuko.  I really can't.  Especially since Zuko is pretty whiny/kinda annoying in the first season.  I'd like to see someone who can add hints of Zuko's later transition and give early!Zuko some depth.  I feel like this casting is being geared toward the younger set (as I read on someone else's journal, "the High School Musical crowd") and that really PISSES ME OFF!

I am a die hard fan of the show.  I've cosplayed.  I've watched every episode at least once.  I know plotlines and quotes by heart.  Hell, I want to learn Tai Chi because it's what waterbending was based on.  And to think that some suits who think they'll get more money because people will come see it for Jesse and that guy from Twilight, well, I'm sorry.  I won't be one of them.  I refuse to give money to this.  I'd much rather be ignorant of the movie if it's going to totally destroy everything I love about the show.

I'd also like to direct everyone who cares to this livejournal post: ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com/368355.html.  As soon as my finals are done I'm writing a letter and sending it in.  I still don't think it'll make a difference, but I'm just cynical like that.  At least I'll feel like I did something.
