I'd rather be called a N*gger than a Slave.

The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that.

There are no guarantees. But there is also nothing to fear. We come from oblivion when we are born. We return to oblivion when we die. The astonishing thing is this period of in-between.

It does seem true that a lot of people will do anything, however humiliating, for fame.

I like smart movies about smart people, and enjoy it when most of the facts are on the table and we can contemplate them together.

Well, we're all dying in increments. I don't mind people knowing what I look like, but I don't want them thinking I'm dying.

All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
