M. Night Shyamalan-a-ding-dong is shooting his new movie in some big-ass soundstage/airplane hangar down at the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia.
It's called The Last Airbender. What? I don't know what that means, but at at least (unlike most of his other films), the title doesn't immediately call to mind an annoying song from yesteryear. Examples:
1. Unbreakable ("Un-break me, my sweet un-breakable you" - come on, use your imagination - or worse yet, the egregious Toni Braxton's "Un-break My Heart". Did you know that she's got a kid named Denim and one named Diezel? Amazing!)
2. Signs (by the stupidly named Canadian outfit Five Man Electrical Band and later covered by the formidable and staunchly not-Canadian band Tesla)
3. The Happening (so quintessentially '60s that just listening to it makes you feel like an honorary Supreme, complete with incredible asymmetrical bouffant)
4. The Lady in the Water (which calls to mind that PJ Harvey "Not Without My Daughter" Sally Field tribute song)
None of these were as big of a hit as The Sixth Sense, which does not immediately call to mind a song, so here's hoping this Airbender nonsense follows suit.
