let's go exploring

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel at least a little schadenfreude at the horrible reviews the A:tla movie is getting. Or a lot of it, to be frank. I was curious as to how well the movie would do, since I have friends who wanted to see it despite everything I said about the racism of the casting decisions. But it seems this movie has failed on pretty much every account, or as Ebert claims, every category he can think of and others still waiting to be invented.
