The Legend of Korra - Season Two

The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series that premiered on the Nickelodeon television network in 2012. It was created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dant DiMartino as a sequel to their series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Several people involved with creating Avatar, including designer Joaqui Dos Santos and composers Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn, returned to work on The Legend of Korra.

The series is set in a fictional universe where some people can manipulate, or "bend", the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Only one person, the "Avatar", can bend all four elements, and the Avatar is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. The series follows Avatar Korra as she travels to the metropolis of Republic City to learn airbending and face an anti-bender revolutionary group called the "Equalists."

The Legend of Korra Looks Amazing!!!

I am sifting through the immense amount of Comic Con related news to come out of San Diego this week (there is alot to come this week, no worries), but one of the coolest things I have seen thus far has to be the first look at Nickelodeon's sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender that is called The Legend of Korra.

M. Night... Love 'Em Or Hate 'Em???

Everybody is poo-pooing all over M. Night Shyamalan lately. His last few films have not captured the audiences the way his first few films had (I think The Happening is the worst movie ever... EVER!!!). I have yet to see The Last Airbender, but its getting smashed by critics (like 12% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), and believe it or not, some of our C-C-D friends that watcht he cartoon show saw it and thinks it was wonderful! Anyway, our man M is kind of embracing the hate... kinda. First, check out this fake movie he made for MTV called "Escalation", which is supposed to make fun of the new film he wrote (but did not direct) Devil (it takes place in an elevator. Get it, elevator-escalator... meh)

So he seems to be having some fun with the bad reactions he has been getting. The new movie, Devil, featured his name prominetly in the original print ads and TV spots:

Notice the "From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan" along the top of the poster? Seems like the studio wanted to push our boy M's involvement in this sucker. But the subway posters have just hit NYC, and with the film about to be released, they changed the poster a bit:

Same graphics on the poster, no credit to M Dog anymore.... Hmmmmmm, thats interesting, no??? Apparently M might be ok with the negative attitude the public has torwards him, but I do not think the studio finds it so funny. They have chosen to excise M -Diggity's name from the poster. Will people forget he was involved in this movie and maybe give it a good review? We will find out in the next few weeks once the film comes out in September. Till then, we say fuck the M-man haters.... 6th Sense and Unbreakable buys him a pass here at CCD anyday!!!

Iron Man 2 came out on Friday, and kick started the summer movie season with a bang. Here at CCD we all have lots of love for the cinema, so I figured we should all put together a top 5 of our most anticipated features of the summer... not the most popular, not the biggest blockbusters, not the most star filled... these are the ones that WE want to see. Next up, everybodies favorite Lost Blogger, the man of 1,000 poses... Jeffrey "Don't Call Me Smokey" Bond !!!!

My Top 5:

#5- ROBIN HOOD
#4- A-TEAM
#3- TOY STORY 3

#2- LAST AIRBENDER

#1- EXPENDABLES - Since the '80s I've been saying that somebody ought to put together a film with all my favorite action stars battling it out in one way or another. What a dream of mine it has been for me to see Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and others knee deep in explosions and gunfire...together. I have been eagerly awaiting this film's arrival...not just since it was announced a year or 2 ago....but since I was 9 years old.

Honorable mentions:
'THE OTHER GUYS'  and 'SCOTT PILGRIM'

CCD's Summer Movie Picks - Kate Jones

Iron Man 2 came out on Friday, and kick started the summer movie season with a bang. Here at CCD we all have lots of love for the cinema, so I figured we should all put together a top 5 of our most anticipated features of the summer... not the most popular, not the biggest blockbusters, not the most star filled... these are the ones that WE want to see. Next up, Reality Check author and my favorite sister-in-law, Kate Jones!!!

My Top 5:

5. The Last Airbender

4. Grown Ups
3. Shrek Forever After
2. Inception

1. Get Him to the Greek- As I have recently christened "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time (I know that's a bold statement, but eveytime I hear Paul Rudd say "I wonder if the carpet matches the pubes" I feel justified), I need to see this. Russell Brand's genius portrayl of Aldous Snow in the first movie deserves its own showcase and I can't wait to watch it..

Nice picks Kate... see you guys at the movies!!!

 In the 'Legend of Zelda' game for the original Nintendo Entertainment

System, there were these little evil-doers which resembled a delicious

stack of buttery pancakes and whose sole mission were to suck you dry of a hard earned weapon you had just paid mucho rupees for. These fortunate little bottom-feeders were called Like-Likes. That is why I decided to name a new feature article I will be preparing for 'Cultural Compulsive Disorder' after them. Like the fortunate bottom-feeder that I am, I will be scouring the blogosphere for loose related images, video clips, and articles that I found interesting, exciting, or maddening on other blogsites. Things that someone else has, no doubt, painstakingly worked on for weeks, even months, yet I will show no remorse borrowing from them and regurgitating on C-C-D, for you guys to appreciate as well, with all due credit given to it's origins, of course. Things that they liked...and I like...so I'd like to see if you like. So without further ado, I give you "Like!-Like?"
