This forum is great, but at times people can be really unwelcoming and intimidating. It's for everyone, I don't understand why people get so elitist. Plus they were a first time poster, give them a break!!

i find a simple PM telling them that people go mental if they post 'chat' and giving them a link to this thread normally does the trick.

what does annoy me tho is non newbie's posting comments on the code board in reply to first non code post which in turn sends another notification out to everyone. if people want to moan about it then do it on this thread not on the code only thread

Ho Hum, Has anyone actually got tickets to the LastAirbender?

I was really looking forward to the film as im a huge TV series fan but i have heard bad things regarding the film.

I have - the trailers make the film look really good. Just hope its not as bad as M.Night Shyalaman's last film The Happening - now that was awful!

'Rarden Tom-Aydoze' gives it an average score of 2.8/10 (based on 128 reviews)

Consensus: Despite flashy special effects, The Last Airbender squanders the potential of its popular source material on an incomprehensible plot, laughable dialogue, and a joyless sense of detachment.

And according to Professor Wiki.. (don't worry, no spoilers)

"According to Owen Gleiberman from Entertainment Weekly, "The Last Airbender keeps throwing things at you, but its final effect is, in every way, flat."
Roger Ebert gave the film half a star in his review, stating that it "bores and alienates its audiences," and notes the poor use of 3D among the film's faults.
The A.V. Club gave the film an F, criticizing the performances of the child actors, overuse of exposition, and shoehorned 3D special effects, calling it the worst summer blockbuster of 2010.
The Hollywood Reporter said the lack of correct casting caused the film to lose substantial credibility in regard to its source material but did praise the casting and acting of the main character, Aang.
Variety criticizes the casting, the scoring, and the overall effect each play into making the film a bore.
Charlie Jane Anders in the review by io9 criticized "the personality-free hero, the nonsensical plot twists, the CG clutter, the bland romance, the new-age pablum...", sarcastically concluding that "Shyamalan's true achievement in this film is that he takes a thrilling cult TV series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and he systematically leaches all the personality and soul out of it — in order to create something generic enough to serve as a universal spoof of every epic, ever." Anders summarized the experience of watching the film by stating that, "Actually, my exact words when I walked out of this film were, 'Wow, this makes Dragonball Evolution look like a masterpiece.'"
Ain't It Cool News' review questioned why Shyamalan was allowed to write the script, as well why he was even chosen to direct such a high-profile film after a string of previous flops: "Burdened by [a] never-ending onslaught of expository dialogue awkwardly delivered by actors giving career-worst performances across the board, The Last Airbender is so outrageously bad it's a wonder it ever got before cameras."
Scott Bowles of USA Today gave a generally favorable review, claiming that Shyamalan delivered on fight scenes and the film worked as a kid's movie. He also added that poor scriptwriting made some of the performances sound wooden.
Another favorable review came from Stephanie Zacharek of MovieLine, who praises the way Shyamalan captures the art of action and human motion.
David Roark of Relevant Magazine accused other critics of having a bias against Shyamalan and gave the film a positive review, stating that its visuals and heart far outweighed the shoddy script.
In a New York's Vulture interview, Shyamalan argued that his style and art-form of storytelling resulted in the negative reviews of the film and compared it to asking a painter to change to a different style, "I bring as much integrity to the table as humanly possible. It must be a language thing, in terms of a particular accent, a storytelling accent. I can only see it this certain way and I don't know how to think in another language. I think these are exactly the visions that are in my head, so I don't know how to adjust it without being me."

I'm still going though :cool:

Please use this thread to chat about the free cinema ticket offers

Please note that swapping of tickets should not be posted as it is against the site rules to exchange personal details. See here.

If you obtained your tickets via seefilmfirst etc, you should email them so they can re-allocate your tickets

This includes, begging, asking, offering, swapping, leaving them on the egde of the bench for the next MSEr to pick up :rotfl::rotfl:

But in all seriousness, I'm getting sick of logging onto this board just to find that I've recieved yet another notification for someone beggin to tickets instead of movie chat, And I'm sure I'm not the only one

*Board Guide Comment*

Please can I refer you to this thread from the MSE forum manager about expected conduct:

In particular this bit:

GOING FORWARD
So let's draw a line under this and start again. Remember why this board exists, remember not everyone is exempt from making a mistake and remember that we are all here for the same reason - to get some nice freebies and keeping our money very much in our pockets/piggy banks/mattress/garden Gnome (the last one may just be me though)

Be aware that we will be taking a firmer line on here though and we won't hesitate to take action if things do not calm down.

Thanks

If you have tickets that you cannot use then release them and put up a post to say that is what you have done - its the fairest way and does not put anyone in contravention of the forum rules which are there to protect your online safety. My local freecycle also occassionally has tickets so if you are desperate then perhaps you could also look there.

To all those who post in the codes thread, thank you, you are all doing a stirling job but please remember that if you want to chat then that is what this thread is for.
