A surefire way of knowing a film will be shit
Last night, watching the trailers before Iron Man 2, there came up a trailer for a film which seemed rather intriguing. Inuits! Kung fu! A chinese kid with glowing forehead tattoos! After a minute of meaningless non-sequiters ("The last of his kind... A fight for survival... the end of humanity") and some blurry high-kicking action, I was thinking, well, this looks a bit naff but is probably a bit of fun. I wonder what it is called?
Answer:
THE LAST AIRBENDER
At which point, everyone in the audience burst out laughing. Yeah, I know it's childish to laugh at the word bender, but everyone still will.
Don't they have focus groups to make sure these things don't happen?
