I feel sorry for The Last Airbender actors

Hello there today I want to talk about the movie I have see recently called The Last Airbender. I have seen all 3 seasons of the cartoon show Avatar: The Last Airbender and it was the best show I have ever seen made by Nickelodeon and it was very funny for the most part. Now when the live action movie The Last Airbender got made it was criticized by both movie critics and audience fans.
Although there are alot of cartoon shows that got remade by real people movies I felt should never been made. This movie the Last Airbender was a pretty good movie. Although it felt like a rushed recap of the TV epsiodes it was a serious version of the movie. I liked it ok though it could've been improved upon. Now the reason why Airbender fans and movie critics have blasted and ranted about The Last Airbender movie was because they wanted it to be just as funny like the TV show and not too serious, or they're ungrateful for the hard work the actors and actresses put into making the film. Also the music was well done by James Newton Howard By the way it did win the worst raspberry award.
So in conclusion I want to thank the Airbender Actors for trying their best to making the movie exciting I'm sorry the movie did not work out for you. Noah Ringer, Dev Patel, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone thanks for you hard work just remember God loves you even if the world or hollywood people criticizes you now if you have been a victim of the raspberry award I'm sorry that it happened to you.
The only person I can blame is the movie director M. Night Shyamalan I didn't like his other scary horror movies at all. had they not hired him to doing the Last Airbender I think the actors would've had better performace.
Now for those who criticized The Last Airbender I feel sorry for you because you have to realize how hard it is to make a movie so before you criticize or make fun of people I want you to be grateful for what you have. The movie isn't bad.
There are however much worst films that I really hate and which should never exist mainly ones that swear, curse god, show sex scenes and brutal violence Such Like The Titanic movie remake, Back to the Future films, Fifth Element, Men in Black, Final Fantasy 7 and all of the rated R films. This is because those Hollywood people are trying to corrupt peoples eyes and ears and make people think that swearing is ok when it is not. I would like to live in a world without filthy movies both popular and worst.

Bil Keane the last of the old comic strips dies

Hey there I've came across the articles of Bil Keane of Family Circus who has finally died in 2011. I feel like the old generation comic strip artist that started comic strips from 1930s to 1960s has died off. I remember other comic strip artist that died like Hank Ketcham when he did Dennis the Menace from the 1950s up to 2001. Johnny hart who did B.C. and Wizard of Id died in 2007. Bob Thaves that did Frank and Ernest up until his death in 2006. V.T Hamlin who did Alley Oop until 1993 when he died. Dik Browne did Hagar the horrible until he died in 1988. Art Sansom who did The born Loser until his death in 1991. And finally Chic Young the creator of Blondie comic strip passed on in 1973.
Even though all the old original comic strip artist passed away to the spirit world. There are assistants carrying on their ancient 20th century comic strip work. But to tell you the truth I don't think these comic strip should be drawn anymore because for one thing the original artist that did them has died and it's not as memorable when their son or assistant worker does the comic strip because it dulls the strip and becomes very boring. Another thing is when the next generation people who do the old comic strip it repeats itself and is no longer funny and bores the readers and it feels very different than when the original artist do it. That's just my opinion.
In conclusion I think it's time for these old comic strips to end for good and get more new ones like Zits, or Dustin or comic strips aimed at teenagers and grownups. Speaking of which I'm working on my own comic strips with punk teenagers and adults and I intend to keep it interesting for people. I'll keep working on my comic strips and have them out on my blog.

Beno is also disappointed there are no flying cars, or hoverboards or 3-D holograms yet.
Toolab: a 50 year old experienced mad scientist who is into electronic gadgets and making impossible gadgets like hoverboards. He has finally made a 3-D hologram projector without needing 3-D glasses but it's in the experiment stages. Toolab has yet to make a hoverboard and hovercar for more convenient travel without building roads.
Punkross: an 18 year old teenager who likes skateboarding, calling and texting on cellphones and surfs the flat screen Internet and watches TV. He doesn't usually like healthy foods and would drink soda pop, eat chips and candy, he listens to screaming rock music Techno music and is all about fun and online games.

Racoot: a human Racoon character in Benos holodeck that likes pulling pranks on animals or draws pictures and words on animals backs. He will wear a shirt that can change color, words or pictures and makes pictures on his shirt come to life. He doesn't like getting spanked.
Ratall: A human Rat character in Benos holodeck that runs races alot and eats alot of healthy food. He doesn't like anyone touching his tail and spank anyone who pulls on his tail.
Cato: A human cat character in Benos holodeck that likes meat even though it's created meat. He likes to play and climb on trees and walls and he makes clothes.
Bearaw: A human Bear character in the holodeck he's the Leader of the Furwears and bosses everyone around and if they do what his says and he get's real mad then he spanks them hard.

(Note on my Furwears comic strip, Do not take my comic strip and make money on it. It's my creation I made. It's for viewing only.)

A look at Mecer Mayer little critters fur body

My thoughts on little critter without clothes
I have read the books of little critter but did you know little critter wasn't always fully dressed like he is now. Even though he has fur and is considered a human animal he looks so cute without clothes on and Let's look at when he was let's say fur naked.
Play With Me (Little Critters Book Series, A Golden Sturdy Shade Board Book), 1st Edition
When the book Just for you came out in 1975 little critter had no clothes on and no shoes on but his mother was fully dressed. Also in Merry Christmas Mom and Dad little critter was still undressed even in Play with me and even in Little sisters bracelet his little sister critter was also undressed.
In the later books when he had clothes on you can see he took off his clothes like in Just go to bed and in the book Just me in the tub Little critter takes off his clothes to take a bath. Also in Just me and my puppy, little critters raccoon friend he bought the dog from didn't have any clothes on. And in Just grandma and me Little critters shorts fell down while blowing up a sea horse. I don't know why his critter mother let him go around the house and go shopping fur naked. But I find it very embarrassing. But it saved his mother the trouble of doing laundry. But kids don't do what little critter did and always wear clothes when you go outside.
Mercer Mayer's Little Critter Stand-Ups to Color & Share (Coloring Book)
Now let's look at why he's half dressed in some of the books. Even though Mercer Mayer added clothes on him he wasn't always fully dressed like he is now in fact in the earlier books he only wore a shirt but he had no pants on or shoes so he walked around barefoot his furry bottom showing. In the book When I get bigger he starts out fur naked but he put a shirt on but forgot to put pants on except in some pictures when he goes shopping. In I just Forgot little critter remembered to put on a raincoat but he not only forgot to wear boots but he forgot his pants as well. He was also half dressed in Jack and the Beanstalk, and Hansel and Gretel. His little critter sister was half dressed in The new potty when she had to use the restroom. Also little critters friends in I was so mad only wore shirts but no pants or shoes. And in Just grandma and me you'll see the little critter animals at the beach that don't have pants or shorts on. Even though he put a shirt on it I find it silly he doesn't wear pants and cute because you can see his hind legs and the furry stomach. So his mother only has to clean his shirts in the laundry. But kids always have a shirt and pants on when you go outside.
Today Little Critter is fully dressed but I miss when he didn't have clothes on. But it was a good thing his critter mother or father never spanked him even when he was undressed in public.
That's my thought on the little critter books. Note these pictures are by Mercer Mayer and are copyrighted.

Are big movie and TV studios going obsolete?

That’s the question I have. For years Hollywood studios have been making movies and TV shows on a big budget. For the real people movies and TV shows the movie directors usually had two ways to make movies either film in a big studio stage with all of the fake stage props or film outside and in normal buildings at real outdoor locations. Now for the cartoons people drew, the artist did them mostly in a big studio building and the same goes for computer animation and video game art. But the biggest drawback is the high cost of owning or renting a movie stage studio with the annoying landlords, investors, and the tax people requiring you to pay every month or year or else they take your movie studio away or kick you out of business. Also another problem Hollywood studios has is being too picky with actors and actress at the talent show tryouts and most of the time they reject actors for rude or strange reasons. This is very discouraging to people that want to act in movies, TV shows and video games. Another problem is getting unwanted fame from cameraman taking pictures rudely and annoying you as well. This is the life of big Hollywood studios and it’s not all glamorous and they’ve been doing it for years since the early 1900s of course they’ve made real good movies and TV shows from the 1900s to the end of the 1970s. But sadly the majority of movies and TV shows from the 1980s to 2010s had a flood of swearing and cursing in them and naked people scenes and extreme violence and toilet humor and all that negative PG-13 and rated R junk and that’s why we have nasty youtube videos all because current Hollywood movies TV shows taught people that swearing and being rude is okay. This is not good and we need Independent films inside a house to help bring back decency to media mostly lost. Yes there will come a day when big movie studios will no longer be needed and they’ll become studio museums, or ghost studios or storage area for equipment.

The lowdown truth about big movie studios

In my last blog article I told you about which movie studio may be good for you but now I'm going tell you something you need to know about big hollywood studios. Hollywood studios for over a century has used to be the only place actors, cartoon artists, prop artist, musicians, directors, producers, costume designers go to make their movies and TV shows. For the real people live action films there are 2 ways people made movies.
Indoor big stage studios: 1 way is to make it inside the big stage studio with all of the fake stage props and picture scenery paintings, lighting and even special effects, and video cameras. It was great because you could make whatever real people film you liked and not have to worry about outside influences or land rights. But the drawbacks are paying thousands and even millions of dollars for rent or bills just to keep your studio and this often puts the studio owner into debt and the landlord and investors often boss you around. Also you have to maintain your studio and make sure accidents don't happen or you get in big trouble. Also you would have to watch over your actors and actress and make sure they don't get hurt. The stage props take a huge amount of time to setup and when you're done with stage props you have to clean up every time which can be very time consuming.
Outdoor set locations: The second way to make live action films is to drive to real outdoor land areas with wheel trucks and vans taking your fancy equipment with you and taking people on the wheel bus just so they can act their part and you don't need much stage props very much because you have real scenery already setup for your movie most of the time saving money and it makes the movie or TV show look more real. But the drawbacks are you have to contact the Mayor or store owners or house owners for permission to close down part of the street or store just so you can continue on filming and this can annoy people because a certain section of the street is closed and they're trying to get to work or school. Also you have the challenge of keeping spectators away from the filming area you're trying to work at and it can be a challenge to make an olden day film with winged planes and bladed copters flying in the sky. Also nasty weather like rain can ruin your plans to film when you want your scene to be a nice sunny day unless you want to film in the rain. Also you have to lookout for your actors and actress and make sure they don't get lost in the wilderness or hurt by real bad guys or animals and you would have to provide house trailers for your actors and actress to sleep in just in case they can't go home. Also you would have to put your camera, lights and other equipment and lock it up otherwise it could get stolen or vandalized. Also you may have to set up stage props in some locations like a fort for example.
So in conclusion outdoor locations seem to be a less expensive way to make movies. And if someone invents a 3-D holodeck projector it will make stage props and big stage studios obsolete. In the next article I'm going to talk about why house studios are better than owning big movie studios.

Big hollywood studios vs house studios

Now today I want to talk about a new way of making movies and TV shows and hopefully video games. As you know running a big movie studio is a big money drainer because you're paying rent on a movie studio like $5,000 to $10,000 per month to rent compared with owning and renting a house which can cost about $800 to $1,000 to rent, but if you own a house and payed it off completely like a $100,000 house then we solved the property bill ownership. Now with that in mind let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of owning a big studio vs setting up a house studio.

Big Hollywood Studio ownership advantages

1. You have investors helping you out with your movies and as a director you can be in charge.
2. You can give people jobs as actors, actress, singers, musicians, prop artists to help you out
3. You have all the equipment like cameras, special effects, lighting and you have more options and ways to make your movie or TV show including your cartoons look real fancy.
4. If your movie or TV show you make goes well you can make millions and billions of dollars
5. You can make live action films with real people in it and it can be accepted into movie theaters and TV station channels and you can make arcade machines.
6. People work together for one goal and help you finish your movie and TV show.

Downsides of a big hollywood studio

1. Running a big studio can be super expensive even making you go into unwanted debt.
2. You have to pay actors, actress, singers, musicians, prop artists alot money or they get mad at you and even sue you.
3. You have to deal with peoples problems including their health, safety, and you have to deal with people swearing, talking rude, or being annoying everyday they work for you.
4. If your actors commits a crime like stealing stuff or killing someone then you have to fire them. Also if they quit on you or get in accident that cripples them for life or kills them then it messes up you film production and you either have to start over or find a replacement actor.
5. You get unwanted fame like annoying cameraman that wants to take your picture and not give you any privacy which can get annoying or even dangerous.
6. You have alot of meetings you have to go to everyday to discuss your movie plans.
7. Alot of times in a big studio if you're trying to be an actor or singer at tryouts most of the time you get rejected or ignored.
8. As an actor you have a movie or TV director telling you what to do and having you do stuff you don't want to do like say swear words for a movie or TV show or do a naughty sex scene or do dangerous violent stunts or withstand the fighting scenes you have to suffer through.
9. It takes a long time to make 1 movie like about 6 to 12 months due to delays.
10. Some actors including famous actors can have dirty habits like smoking, drinking beer, taking drugs, or gambling their money away.

The list goes on but anyways my point is it's a rough business being either an actor or actress, or being a director, or prop artist, or a singer or musician and owning and maintaining your big studio. The biggest problem lies in the movie studio that can cost you big money so that makes you do movies at a tighter budget. Not a very fun way to make movies. So with that said let's look at the advantages of setting up a media studio in your house.

Small house studio advantages

1. It's not as expensive as running a big movie studio saving alot of money in the long run.
2. You can do movies, radio plays, TV shows, music, video games all on a desktop computer.
3. If you're good at making music, art pictures, and making up stories then you can create cartoon or computer animated videos without much help.
4. You can put recorded music and radio plays on a blank CD and you can put recorded movies and TV shows on a blank DVD and sell paper books to make it ready to sell to people online.
5. You don't need investors and you don't have to deal with landlords and you don't get unwanted fame or annoying cameraman bothering you.
6. You can concentrate easier on your movie or TV project.
7. You can hire or invite your friends and family members to do voice acting or act for your movie or TV show and you don't have to pay them much.
8. You don't have to quit your current job so you can make your movie at home and still earn income.
9. You don't have to worry about spending too much money or get into debt so even if your movie and TV show does flop you won't lose very much money whereas movie studios do lose alot of money if their movie flops.
10. You can make alot of movies, TV shows and video games alot faster and if you make money you can be rich and have enough to support your family and you're in control of your studio.

Downsides of a small house studio

1. Most of the time you're on your own to make movies, TV shows and video games and this can be time consuming.
2. Although you can make real good cartoons and computer animation on a computer the live action films with real people will require you to go on a cheap budget and look for a film location or indoor studio to do your films and that can be rough without business help.
3. It can be time consuming to make paper books, CD albums, and DVD videos and to sell.
4. You may not be able to get your movie at a big theater or TV station or make an arcade machine.
5. It will be harder to protect your movies from copyright theft or stolen movies so you need to create a vault to store and keep them safe.
6. The live action videos with people actors will be hard to do because they are often busy with their lives so careful planning is required.
7. Making movies and TV shows requires art, music and writing skills and you may need to hire a professional artist and a professional musician. But you can always make stories by yourself.
8. It usually is hard to get your home movie or TV and video game have an age rating on it.

The list goes on but after looking at the 2 types of studios my advice for actors, musicians, artists and directors is don't go to Hollywood because often times you'll get rejected and stay at home and make movies on a Windows desktop computer or iMac computer or a laptop and be sure to buy a video camera. Buy computer art programs like Anime Studios or Toon Boom, for the music by Finale Printmusic or Songwriter and have a piano keyboard. And make sure your can write your stories on word programs like Microsoft word or Word perfect. But if you want your movie to be like the hollywood live action film then you can rent a bigger studio or outdoor location but keep in mind it will cost you money and you'll have to hire actors so don't plan on making much live action movies and TV shows. But one day the big Hollywood studios will be a thing of the past due to the uprise of independent home studios with video cameras and a desktop computer and one day Holodecks will spell the end of big movie studios.
