Casting for M. Night Shyamalan's Avatar: The Last Airbender live action adaptation.

Even if you haven't seen the series, you can look at the animated character designs nicely lined up beside the actors and see the severe issues the fans are having with the casting.  This is either a bad prank, or proof that my near-universal disdain for M. Night Shyamalan's movies is warranted.  I'm sure the actors themselves are perfectly decent, but allow me to live in terror.  Especially for the casting of Suki and Mai.  (Even if they continue the "all white" theme, at least there's a decent chance of Iroh ending up being Jeremy Irons or something.  Yeah, I'm trying too hard.)

P.S.-I finally have season 3 and will totally be watching it when I have a new DVD player.

I've been following reactions to the Avatar movie casting all day and watching reactions range from displeasure to rabid hatred to "wait and see" to intelligent defenses based on US economy to so-totally-not-how-you-want-that-to-sound defenses based on US economy to "if they don't state they're not white, then there's no reason they can't be white."

I'm not touching any of it.

But it brings up a very important question:

Meanwhile, I'm watching the second episode of Chuck. It has Jayne and...it has Jayne. OTOH, my brain currently can't handle anything more complicated than that ATM.
