There comes a point where a once brilliant director and writer cannot maintain his same level of greatness across his movies, and the suitable thing for them to do is move on to do something else entirely. But, there are some directors that insist on trying to re-capture their fleeting moment of greatness again and again … never to do so.

Directors like M. Night Shyamalan.

I mean, I liked The Sixth Sense, and thought Signs had potential. But, while Unbreakable had its moments, The Village was not that good, and The Happening was just a train wreck on film. And, from what I hear, The Last Airbender was even worse than that.

What must M. Night Shyamalan think?

The guys at College Humor decided to show just that very thing, and wouldn’t you know it, Shyamalan sees what is happening in a very M. Night kind of way. Check out the video below!

Nerds love their TV shows, movies and video games with a passion. It can even be an unhealthy passion, which when unsatisfied by the creators and producers of the material, can result in a nerd rage.

A group entitled Sidecar Comedy decided to vent all their nerd frustrations in one expletive-filled video (yes, there IS a lot of swearing – you have been warned). But, despite all the language, they makes some extremely valid points about the Lost finale, the Star Wars prequels, the Battlestar Galactica finale, The Last Airbender movie and many, many more!

Do I sense this becoming the new Nerdbastards theme song? I hope so!

“The Last Airbender“, directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan is tortuously lethargic, uninvited, abysmal, and uniformly atrocious (in every aspect). And that’s me being nice!

Based on Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series (to which I am only vaguely familiar and thus can’t compare) is set i a world in which the population is divided amid the four elements (Earth, Wind, Water and Fire) and some skilled practitioners whom can “bend” these elements to their will. Since the elements are naturally at odds with each other, an overall controller is needed to maintain order among the kingdom. This role is played by the Avatar, who can manipulate all the elements and thus can keep balance and peace amongst the tribes. Only problem is this Avatar has gone missing for 100 hundred years.

This is Olivia Hack!! Don’t know who she is? No one does! She was in 2 hit films in the mid 90’s then dropped off the acting radar! You will be surprised who this hot piece of ass is, and what she has actually been up to! (more…)

I’m glad I don’t have to be the one to describe what this movie is about to you because the commercial does…Oh wait, it doesn’t? (more…)
