Avatar casting... I'm really glad that Jesse McCartney is out. After that interview with him... wow... I mean, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but he really didn't know anything about anything in Avatar, LOLOL. Like, less, than Jackson Dazzle.
Dev Patel is an amazing actor but... WHY ISN'T HE SOKKA?! LOLOLOL. I mean, I know he's not Inuit (I know they'd be hard to find), but... but... HE'D BE SO GOOD AS SOKKA HOMG. He was so funny in parts of Slumdog Millionaire! And Fail Face (as much as I love him) has NO SENSE OF HUMOUR. LOLOLOL XDDDDD UGH. It's an improvement. BUT IS STILL MADE OF FAIL. Maybe appropriate for Fail Face? LOLOLOL XDDDDD
THEY COULD DO WORSE:


AND THEY'VE MADE HIM ZUKO?!!!???!?!?! WTFFFFFFFF. SUCH a wasted opportunity.
I DO, however, approve of the casting of Suki!! HOMG!! DID THEY ACTUALLY GET A CASTING DECISION RIGHT?!?!?!?! You know, with the recasting of Zuko from Jesse McCartney to an Asian English actor, and now an Asian American being cast as Suki... do you... do you think they might have got some of the message? O________o DID IT ACTUALLY WORK?! I mean, it'll never be perfect because they still have three white kids in the three main roles, so... still pissed off, LOL.
I just dunno wtf the casting directors were smoking that day. Srsly.
And I keep thinking... what would happen if these kids were meant to be African American instead of Asian American? Do you really think that this casting would be deemed acceptable? Yeah. Didn't think so.
ANYWAY. On Sunday I went into town and (after getting a little lost, LOL) met up with some AWESOME people of AWESOME from MuggleSpace!! :D There were seven of us all together (MOST POWERFUL MAGICAL NUMBER, AMIRITE?!), and we went bowling and got our geek on and didn't get around to organising what we were actually meeting for; putting together a game of Quidditch, LOLOLOL XDDDD
There were two Ravenclaws, two Slytherins, two Hufflepuffs (including myself, and the other guy was a Slytherpuff too, LOLOL) and one Gryffindor! So we were pretty well rounded! Oh, and one of the Slytherins was borderline Gryffindor, so I guess she evened them out a bit more, LOL XDDDDD
So here we are, all of us but Nikki (Gryffindor) who had to leave early :(

L-R: Livian (Slytherin/Gryffindor), Eeeek I don't remember whether this guy was Nathan or the guy behind him was :3 LOL. ANYWAY, one of them is Nathan, and the other I can't remember XDDDD (Slytherin and Ravenclaw respectively), Nathalie (Ravenclaw), Sam (Hufflepuff), and me (Hufflepuff) :D
AND FINALLY tonight... a picture of me wearing my T-SHIRT OF AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I HEART IT SO HARD HOMG. As you can probably tell from my massive grin XDDDDDDD

Peace,

Sooooooooo... update! First of all, I just have to say... Dev Patel is an amazing actor but... WHY ISN'T HE SOKKA?! LOLOLOL. I mean, I know he's not Inuit (I know they'd be hard to find), but... but... HE'D BE SO GOOD AS SOKKA HOMG. He was so funny in parts of Slumdog Millionaire!

Niiice shirt, btw!
AND LOL. One of the first things I asked them was "WHAT HOUSE ARE YOU IN?!" XDDDD And when I found out that the other guy was a Hufflepuff, when I got a spare we did Hufflepuff!Fives and then Gryffin/Puff!Fives with Nikki the Gryffindor XDDDD TWAS SO EPIC :3
Heeeehehehe, thank you <3

THIS IS NOT YOUR PLAYGROUND, SHYAMALAN!! YOU'RE NOT WRITING THE SCRIPT, YOU HAVEN'T CREATED A PLOT THAT REVOLVES AROUND YOU SAVING THE WORLD WITH YOUR WRITING. THINGS IN THIS SERIES HAPPEN, UNLIKE IN THE HAPPENING. GAHHHHHHHHHH.
I recommend you read this post (http://jedifreac.livejournal.com/773661.html) because it says EVERYTHING I wish to say (and probably everything you want to say too). LOLOLOL XDDDD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Oh god, so he cast Patel just so he can be in the movie, is that it?
What gets me is that we're talking about a guy who should KNOW about this kind of bullshit. This isn't just some white, blonde, Hollywood people who assume everyone in the world is white. Indians get screwed over in Hollywood just as much as East Asians.
I also just keep thinking about how they had talked about giving him the last Harry Potter. OH MY GOD THANK GOD THEY DIDN'T. But I am sorry for your fandom!

You know, Inuit aren't as hard to find as you might think. I'm from Northern Canada, and I know plenty of them (I mean - none that I know of have any actual acting experience, but whatever). But, I'm with you, he'd be a good Sokka. As for Zuko... Well, that's odd casting.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Also, I'm missing out on Quidditch???
And you're totally right about the Avatar casting choices. Weak, you guys. Seriously.
Love the t-shirt! Have you seen True Blood yet? You should totally check it out. I don't know whether you'd like it, but I'd love to talk with you about it!
I don't know this other character, but it looks like he'd make a good Sokka LMAO. I seriously know nothing about Avatar lulz.
