Audiences experience 'Avatar' blues

(CNN) -- James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle "Avatar" may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.

snip

"Ever since I went to see 'Avatar' I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na'vi made me want to be one of them. I can't stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it," Mike posted. "I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in 'Avatar.' "

snip

"When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed ... gray. It was like my whole life, everything I've done and worked for, lost its meaning," Hill wrote on the forum. "It just seems so ... meaningless. I still don't really see any reason to keep ... doing things at all. I live in a dying world."

They live in a ‘dying’ world as they call it because their sick liberalism, their ‘progressiveism’ is progressively debasing our morals, our children, the national pysche and reducing it to a mass of neverending feelgoodism which is a monkey on the collective back of the nation far greater than heroin, crack...whatever....I reallly wish they’d Kevork themselve, myself....

Kinda makes you wonder if this was the desired effect from making the movie, and these dummies fell for it.

Indeed - if it's not a massive psyop, then some spooks really missed an opportunity.

Maybe if someone is suicidal after a stupid movie, then we’d be better off without them?

You think?

Reminds me of some of the Titanic chatrooms a decade ago. People who had questions about the displacement of the ship or the length of the gash in its side or the number of lifeboats and their utilization and people who wanted to go on and on about Leo and Rose on the raft or them shouting about being the kind of the world or about whether they could really have been happy with each other didn't get along with each other very well.

How many of these losers could actually survive 48 hours in a real exotic remote uncivilized location.

If the real predators didn't get them , starvation thirst and exposure would.........the local natives might even eat them!!!

Well, that’s what he gets for putting the equivalent value of the Empire State building up his nose. Gotta catch up with you sooner or later.

I always find it amazing that people who believe in reincarnation think they will be "rebirthed" into highest species!

Mike, the poster might just be "rebirthed" as a dung beetle.

Some clever conservative needs to develop interactive “Avatar world” a virtual reality “gaming” software complete with 3D/stereo helmet and synthetic touch body suit.

The conservative would get very rich and the libs obviously would eat it up. Maybe they would all just stay in the artificial reality cocoon and leave the rest of us alone.

If I want beauty, all I have to do is to walk out on my deck to see the north end of the Coeur d’Alene mountains to the East and the rolling hills and small mountains to the west that lead up to Spokane mountain. Sunrise, sunset - it’s always worth a look.

How sad and dreary thigns must look from this guys parents basement.

I'm sure sometime in the future we will see "Avatar World" at Disney, Universal or some major theme park

Rest assured, this is a “placed” story thought up by some PR flack to juice the remaining weeks of Avatar’s run in the theaters...

These morons on convinced the earth is dying...

Yet there is life all around them...

Turn over a rock and see what you find - there’s life everywhere. Yet these fools can’t see it. Adolescent blind ignorance... Sucks to be them...

The great thing about satirizing liberals is that you can satirize them one week, and the next week it’s reality!

Wait, this isn’t satire? Never mind.

The morning sunrise before a front passes over is beautiful. These libtards need a breath of fresh reality.

There should be Soylent Green trucks outside every theater showing Avatar. Tell them their biscuits will help feed the homeless Na’vi...
