Only three seasons, and the story was wrapped up properly.

Alright . . . so I haven't watched it all . . . I just catch parts of it here as I walk past the tv and there and the last time I saw it was recently and he was like a teenager or something.

Ah ah ah!!! James Cameron will sue your ass back to the stone age!!! Did anybody notice that the cartoon is named "Avatar: the last airbender" but the movie is just called "The last airbender"??? It's cause Cameron copyrighted the shit out of the word Avatar....

I hope he picked "good" as his new direction. I haven't enjoyed anything from him since The Sixth Sense.

I thought Unbreakable and Signs were ok.

Neither one did anything for me, especially not enough to deserve the sequel Unbreakable reportedly has in the works.

It looks good pretty good so far. From that previews it looks a little darker than the cartoon, but over all they seemed to capture the essence of the show. I don't think the cartoonists would let him fuck up a good story like that.

The thing with M.Night is his movies usually start out really great, progress smoothly, but then its like running into a brick wall at the end. Hell, the sopranos famous black screen tops some of the shit M.Night throws out there. I really do love the concept of MOST of his movies, but he just really sucks at ending them.

Good perhaps, but predictable. When someone decides that every movie he makes is going to end with a plot twist, it's no longer a surprise.
