    Maybe it's just me, but it looked to me like the Earth Nation in the trailer was made up of a lot of South Asians (Indians, etc.). Shymalan bias at work?

    No, not really.

    Edit: Especially since they're apparently evil.

    Evil roles or not, that's paying work for Shymalan's people. Definitely some bias going on there.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Someone had to say it, I just didn't figure it'd be you!

    Back on topic, I wonder why they didn't call this movie by it's proper name of Avatar:The Last Airbender. They could have raked in the residual monies.

    As I understand it, James Cameron had some sort of legal trademarking of the name "Avatar" for his blue man movie.

    That'd be a copyright suit worth fighting in the courts.
