Grrr....M Night Shyamalan makes the day a total annoyance

My boss has given me the job of cold-calling potential clients.

I have an infection in my right ear, that seems to be moving over to the other ear now.

I still have to print out and collate the character sheets for the LARP characters, even the ones we don't have players for.

And now...

And now, we have this: The "Avatar the Last Airbender movie will have an all-white cast. Along with the LJ reaction.

...right.  That does it.  Final straw, people. 

I'm going out to the car and take a nap.

Um, the anime characters do not have Asian features. What's the big deal? Besides, it's Shyalaman, so a cast whitewash is going to be the least of your worries, if you're a fan.

Well, it's hard to tell with anime styling, but Katara and Sokka have some Inuit features, and the Fire Nation (and to a lesser extent Earth Nation) is obviously designed to be a riff off of China. Really, I think that only the signature character Ang is obviously Caucasion.

But this is really more of a "business as usual" sort of thing for Hollywood. Just wait until they get around to doing a Che Guevara film- it'll be Keanu all the way.

Samuel L. Jackson can't be in everything.
