I never red the Eragon books.

I red other ones :x

Little Mix are on their third or fourth release now. Not doing as well as some who have came before them, but it's not bad.

And yeah he lost out to Joe McEldry.

Oh, I didn't know. I love Wings though.

And ah. Now I remember. I think he's somewhat vanished too. I remember him coming out with an album full of old song covers, and haven't heard much about him since. He apparently participates in Brighton Pride every year though with Alexandra Burke. Celebrity guests or something . I remember reading about it last year.

IKR T_T

Currently re-reading the books though. On Brisingr atm.

\o/

And Avatar... I wanted a second and the third movie. Not the blue ones, but The Last Airbender.

I did too. Even if it was a copy of the TV series with a little bit of bad acting in the mix, I still wanted to see the other two.

Can't blame you there...my mom used to listen to Clay Aiken's Christmas CD endlessly but I never really cared for them. I can agree with you that otherwise most winners of any talent show seem to fall off the face of the planet after they win and aren't really successful (or even good). I wonder what possesses people to watch the shows and vote for who they vote for during the seasons.

It's entertainment, at the end of the day. People will back those who they like. And line Simon Cowell's already full wallet.

Have you read the books? They gutted it of everything that made it a good book, the same with Eragon.

Both had fantastic casts, but utter tripe for screenplay.

They actually had all of that in the movie as far as I've understood, but had to cut it out or redo it because of complaints from the Catholic Church. That's why they aren't making a second and third movie. Officially it's because of economy, but the movie did well all over the world except in the US.

From Wikipedia:

By October 2008, the two planned sequels were officially placed on hold, according to New Line Cinema, because of financial concerns during the global recession. Sam Elliot, however, stated, "The Catholic Church ... lambasted them, and I think it scared New Line off."

Totally. The acting was horrible And for some reason Fire Nationers resembled Indians.

I think it was their attempt at adding diversity, instead of everyone being east Asian.

It really didn't. It was pretty much panned here.

Lambasted by the Catholic Church? I didn't know that, but then again, so was Harry Potter.

And it had virtually everything cut. Interactions with Ajihad and Nasuada completely gone, Dwarves? Virtually nothing. Saphira growing up? Let's fly through a cloud and she's there....

Heh I didn't mention Avatar: The Legend of Aang since I was just concentrating on book series, but it should also be included. Brilliant source material. Shite movie. Just who thought it was a good idea to give M Night Shylaman the reins anyway?

All the water benders were white. It would make sense if people from the Earth Kingdom were Asian. But Indians? I don't get it.

I like how fire benders needed fire instead of making it themselves as on the show. That made them more equal to the other bender types.

And the ending. Just letting Arya leave. Way to not allow any form of a sequel and leave the entire story at an abrupt end.

I actually have the Eragon book series, it's amazing. I was warned off the movie because I heard it was so bad that I have no intentions of ever watching it.

I think that sense of equality with requiring a source of fire was the only thing that I somewhat liked too. Otherwise.. bleh.

Do not watch it. It's a complete waste of time. I even went to the cinema to watch that crap. :/

But Harry Potter has a larger fan base, so the prospect of money conquered the fear of the church Plus the Harry Potter movies cut out almost as much as The Golden Compass did. Like wow.

M Night Shyamalan... That's probably why they used Indians.

Arya?

[ELYPOP]

Arya?

I haven't read the books in ages. Ehm. The female elf princess ranger woman.

Thirding these sentiments. I've seen it twice. Once on DVD with my family. Once because my BF insisted on watching it despite my warnings. He was horrified.

It really did make an interesting difference having firebenders need fire already existing to be able to bend.

With you on that tbf. They're not the best of movies.

Still curious as to what the Catholic church objected to though.

I'm so happy. Was just outside. There are clouds in the distance, it's still boiling hot and the sky above me is clear but the entire sky lit up all of a sudden. STORMS A COMING!
YAY \o/

I read the reasoning on IMDB. Let me find that comment for you..

They were very much against the portals to other worlds thing, the idea that the human soul was bound to an animal, especially ones called daemons. Funnily (is that a word?), that's in the movie.

Ana you should see how my "outside" looks like atm.
