*flail* The Boiling Rock!!
Ok, in general I am anti-spoilers so unforuntately this whole post will have to be under a cut... those of you who haven't seen The Boiling Rock (both parts!) and are Avatar fans should definitely see it. Soon. Actually, seriously, see it now. I found pretty high quality torrents. You can too.
