Personally, I enjoyed the movie Avatar, but I think that a huge part of my enjoyment stemmed from LEAVING THE THEATER ALIVE. Now a man has died from watching this movie. Whoops. AVATAR, YOU ARE A MURDERER, AND MURDERERS GO TO JAIL! From news.com.au:
A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure has died of a stroke likely triggered by over-excitement from watching the blockbuster Avatar in 3D, a doctor says.
The man, identified only by his surname Kuo, started to feel unwell during the screening earlier this month in the northern city of Hsinchu and was taken to hospital.
Mr Kuo, who suffered from hypertension, was unconscious when he arrived at the Nan Men General Hospital and a scan showed that his brain was haemorrhaging, emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih said today.
“It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms,” the doctor said.
Mr Kuo died 11 days later from the brain haemorrhage, and the China Times newspaper said it was the first death linked to watching James Cameron’s science-fiction epic Avatar.
Oh jeez. That is sad, no duh. Although, I don’t think it was the excitement of the movie that killed him. I think it was because Giovanni Ribisi’s character was SO MEAN! Check out this picture of Avatar in jail. P.S. I am sorry that a man has died, and I am also sorry that my job has turned me into an actual-to-goodness goblin.

Why did you leave out the happy ending where he was rebirthed onto Pandora?
Because I knew for a fact it would be the first comment on the post. (PROFESSIONAL BLOGGER.)
We’re like a TEAM! You set ‘em up, I knock ‘em down! Wanna start our own blog called “The Captain and Gabe Blog”? I’m open to other title suggestions, but I definitely want to go first in the name section.
Avatar = The Ring. We’re all fucked.
I see James Cameron as Frank Cross in Scrooged after the old lady dies from his commercial:
“I want that ad run every hour ON THE HOUR!”
This is only the first death, according to the China Times, lets not make it the last.
yeah, and you know james cameron is secretly (not secretly) a little excited about this. like, “people only puked after feeling dizzy after The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield! I WIN AGAIN!”
Don’t forget how hard he had to work to out-do the Pokemon seizures.
I knew James Cameron was a closeted William Castle fan!!!
Weird! When my boyfriend went to see this movie, he said the climax was eclipsed by the fact that a girl was having a seizure a couple rows down. I thought it was just a coincidence, but now I’m not so sure…
A similar thing happened to me when I saw Avatar. I started to not feel well and thought I might need to leave and seek medical attention. No sooner did I step outside than I started to vomited violently for several minutes because that movie was so bad.
I’m sure it was Avatar and not the history of high blood pressure or hypertension because Chinese movie science.
Is anyone else bothered by that Sim (or whatever that thing is) REFUSING to sit on the bed with his dying friend?! Sitting on the bed frame like that looks painful!
GET ON THIS, DIANE SAVINO.
He looks eerily like Thom Yorke, so maybe that explains it?
I assumed this was another astounding reenactment from the people that brought up the real animated story of Tiger Woods and Conan O’Brien. Although, that animation would have likely caused only more deaths.
Avatar is a wonderful movie where a cripple pretends to be a giant blue alien so he can see inside their tree fort, but he fails to save them and then tries to save them again but fails again and instead needs saving because he is the big dragon rider and you should have to pay fucking extra if you have a seizure because you are spazzing out to the best movie ever the Golden Globes proved it!
