And here's why! Avatar: The Last Air Bender is the name of his current cartoon obsession. It's about the Air, Earth, Fire, and Water nations; these nations are at war, and the Avatar is the only person who can save all of humanity. But then the old Avatar goes missing; 100 years of war pass by. Suddenly there's a new Avatar; he's this cute little Air Bender named Aang.
That's enough plot synopsis; Here's the issue at hand. There's going to be a live-action Avatar: The Last Air Bender film, but it can't have the word "Avatar" in the title. Thanks to Cameron, it will simply be called The Last Air Bender. And thus, nerd-whining has taken over my life. Just writing about this, has caused Optimus Nerd to rant for at least five minutes. Now I'm exhausted.
Anyway, that's his beef. What makes me laugh or maybe cry is that the boyfriend likes to pretend that he is an Avatar and can air/fire/water/earth-bend. That means that he can control those elements and spin them around or something. You use these to fight; it's like Moses parting the Red Sea, only some benders can part earth, fire, and wind. Anyway, these techniques are not real. But I'm sure you all got that idea already.
Right now, nerdy bf is pretending to earth-bend because I'm ignoring him. How needy. He is amusing though, especially since I told him he's not allowed to fire-bend. It's obviously dangerous; he might burn me!
And now I'm losing it.
And now I'm losing it.

When both were in production and they both still had "Avatar" in the title, I was so confused because first I heard that Cameron was making the Avatar movie (thinking it was the Last Air-bender variety). Then I heard Shyamalan was making Avatar. It seemed like a drastic and foolish switch in directors. It wasn't until a month or two later that I learned there would be TWO Avatar movies and Cameron's would have nothing to do with air bending whatsoever ;)
