The Last Airbender
Jun. 30th, 2010 12:02 pmSignal boost - if you're considering seeing The Last Airbender this weekend, please first head over to racebending.com and read about the film. The film's creators have taken a wildly popular anime full of Asian and other POC heroes, with sets and clothing designs that have their origins in a variety of non-European cultures, and turned it into an all-white-heroes, POC-villains exotic fantasy extravaganza. I won't see it for all the tea in {some country that used to be China but has been replaced for artistic reasons with a non-Asian country}, and I hope you'll consider withholding your dollars from it as well. The original show is up on Netflix if you want to give the real thing a try.
