Gary said that Slumdog was really good and we should all go see it. I haven't yet. Don't know if I will. :\ Patel is freaking ADORABLE, and he would make such a better protagonist than antagonist! The way he looks and smiles is too friendly and happy for a bad guy! ... OK, to be fair, he probably could act evil if he wanted, but still. I think he'd actually draw in a lot more fans if he were cast as a good guy. That was a stupid move on the part of the casting directors. I think they could potentially get away with a white actor for Aang and not have it look completely f***ed up, if they picked the right guy; but Sokka and Katara being white is just absurd. I mean, look at them! Their skin is dark! Their faces are not shaped like white people's faces! Their hair is not freaking blonde! >.< I haven't watched much Avatar, but many of my friends are fans, I will definitely be passing this on.
