How to watch The Last Airbender

1) Check Rotten Tomatoes.  See that the movie has a 7% fresh rating.  Rapidly readjust expectations from Twilight ha-ha bad to Manos the Hands of Fate horrible.  Feel better knowing that you can't be disappointed now.
2) Realize that the whole group of people you're going with is dressing up for the event.  Get a Facebook message telling you which characters have already been taken.  Tear apart your room and Google Images looking  for a way to create a non-taken costume.  Fail miserably.  Figure that if you can't go in character, geek it out.  Put on your science-y M.I.T. shirt and Triforce belt buckle.
3) Watch seven episodes of Avatar: The Abridged Series while you're waiting.
4) Meet up with the group and tell them that you wanted to be Zuko, but couldn't quite pull it off.  Get attacked with eye-scar make-up and put your ponytail a little higher on your head.  Instant costume.  Zuko is now a nerd, but you realize that The Legend of Zelda probably doesn't exist in the Avatar universe.  Remove the belt buckle.
5) Drive to the theater.  Plot with the group about how to kidnap an Aang - a surprising omission in a group of nine costumes.
6) Arrive at the theater.  Get stared at a lot.
7) Watch as the movie begins.  Realize exactly how bad it is when it starts with a badly-written text scroll paired with a badly-acted narration.  Settle in for a bumpy ride.
8) Cringe every time they mispronounce a word or name, which happens at least once a minute.  Console yourself with the fact that you had enough foresight to watch Avatar: The Abridged Series first so that you can transfer some of the mocking humor from that to the horribly dull and unfunny movie in front of you.
9) Continue cringing.
10) Resist throwing things at Katara.  The theater might kick you out.  Actually, that might not be a bad plan...
11) Exit the theater and make fun of the movie with friends.  Discuss how it was a miracle that the movie got a whole 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.
12) Continue complaining and mocking during the car ride home.
13) Fall asleep feeling contented.  You had a good bonding experience over a bad movie.  Victory.
