Jan 5 2010You've Gotta Be Kidding Me: Forum To Help People Deal With Post-Avatar Depression Because The Dream Of Pandora Can't Come True

I'm really happy for you Avatar, but the Smurfs are the best blue people of all time!

There a site like this for twilight? harry potter? barney? :o

FIRST

Honestly, that's really sad. Not pathetic sad. Normal, pitiable sad.

I kind of get where they're coming from though. This is why 3D movies are NOT a good idea.

I feel the same way about zombie apocalypse movies.

Geez. I haven't seen Avatar yet and I'm not sure I want to. Judging from the advice giver, it all sounds a bit too granola-birkenstock-dreadlocks for me. I just want to see some people blow some shit up. I don't want to jump on a leonopteryx, whatever the hell that is.

@6: a good movie for that is Transformers. Not knocking the story or anything but it DOES have a lot more explosions. I enjoyed it.

I went to the site and I got just what I thought I would find, a bunch of sad ass people coping with imaginary stresses...and it was freakin hilarious!

@1: watch the South Park episode "Dancing with Smurfs," lol, its about Avatar.

I hate to admit it, but I think I fall into that category of people that would get a lot from that site. I have been struggling a lot in my life lately, and to see such an awesome story and come out of it knowing that you have to go back to a life that is miserable for you is, well, depressing.

Sorry, Geek, but I'm not seeing the humor here. If people get depressed over a movie, then, yes it is pretty sad, but it doesn't mean they're not sad for a valid reason.

Damned hippy tree hugging whiney bullshit. AMAZING effects though.

Want to play around in a magical interactive glowing world filled with amazing people?

There is such a place right here on Earth for one week out of the year just like that and its called....

Burning Man

Look it up, learn about it and go! it will change your life!

And yes, I've seen the movie multiple times, exactly for the reason mentioned. Four times, with a fifth planned this weekend.

@OmniSpyder Burning man is the shiz..... but that escape is because your on LSD or rollin' dude, not because your takin a journey.

First time comment, long time reader. I just have to say...

Waaaah! If you can't cope with a fucking movie, why not tie a nice rope around your neck, push yourself off that stool and just hang your little faggot pussy ass. No offence, but if people are that lame, it's called POPULATION CONTROL and if this movie makes you realize your life is sad... and you needed a movie to show you how fucked your life is, just go back to your grandmas bedroom, curl up next to that smelly old hound dog and cry your faggot ass back to sleep.

Bitches.

@9 Important comedy lesson: If something's funny because it makes fun of someone, and a person comes along and tells others that it's not funny, it only adds to the comedy.

P.S.: I WISH I had as amazing an experience with ANY movie as these poor saps did. But of all the movies to make you feel that way... Avatar? Really? I think I could only last so long hanging out with that boring ass tribe. How bout Harry Potter's world? Or Middle Earth? Pandora looks gorgeous and glowy, and floating islands/rocks are always awesome, but I don't think i would last half a day out there. I know! Start clearing away some of that jungle and build a city with sky scrapers and track homes and air conditioning and have it all separated from those crazy ass animals and then we'll talk. Maybe throw the Na'vi into reserves where they can set up casinos for me to visit too.

If you need a support group to cope with the depression from seeing a movie please raise your hand. Tommy will be by to hit you on the head with a tack hammer because you are an idiot.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH #14.

It's a movie. I'm at such bewilderment with the EPIC epic fail of humanity...You are why America has the best economy on prescription drugs right now.

Go play the laying down game in traffic in front of the movie theater.

@2: I'd say yes, but we all know the Twihards don't cope. They actually believe they can become vampires. *facedesk*

Such an insightful and illustrative comment on out culture. Your life is so vacuous, so devoid of actual human connection that you become emotionally invested in a movie that redefines superficial. This is the Megan Fox of movies, an absurdly hot sex bomb who opens her mouth and spews retard. Completely obvious, predictable, pedestrian, blisteringly gorgeous, I sympathize with wanting even a few stolen moments with her, but if you think she looking at you with those bedroom eyes in 120ft of IMAX, if you think you made a real connection after you forked over you $17.50 a showing, then my friend you may want to look into some auto-erotic asphixiation...

If you become depressed because something you see in a movie isn't possible... than you were going to be depressed no matter what. You were going to be depressed after watching a uniquely mind tingling episode of Dora the Explorer... or Captain Planet...

True, humanity doesn't need to be so self centered... but most people don't understand that that is an individual's problem. Humanity is selfish because most individuals are. The only way to change that is to lead as an example... raise your children to care about themselves AND OTHERS, and hope for the best in the future.

You cannot and should not control someone else's actions. Focus on your own lives, and make a difference by being different.

A thread like this is called 'encouraging addiction' these people are addicted to a fantasy world which they wish was real. This thread is enabling. It's not creating a discussion group... A person who is addicted to drugs should not hang around other people addicted to drugs... They should not read about drug use and go back to their drug. The depression they feel is not depression for the world around them... it's a reaction to having that addictive substance taken away. It made you happier.

Find the thing in your life that you are missing... that is why most people turn to addictive substances. Love, friends, accomplishment, what are you missing?

The reactions to this movie are ridiculous... A big studio has cashed in on the public's feeling of unrest in how we've treated our own environment. Yet you drove to the theater... sat in a room with electricity zapping speakers and projectors... probably supported the junk food concession stand while you were there, and then drove back to your place of residence... and you did this in winter, so you were probably blaring your heater.

And now people are waisting their time by being depressed about the idea that this 'dream' can't come true.

I have to say, I do sometimes feel that way after watching some gonzo porn.

@14: Woah man, you're hardcore.

It's the same that happened to me after I saw Kill Bill. I didn't want to wake from that dream, so I bought a katana in Okinawa and began to slay people. Seems I didn't kill enough to free the world from these stupid kitten lovers. Sorry all.

@20: I have to admit I heard you mention "gonzo porn", and my mind instantly went to Hunter S. Thompson, whch led to hilarious images of Hunter Gathers from the Venture Bros. as a tranny. Sorry, man. It's the internet, it...it does things to you....

I feel bad for everyone of them.

I feel bad because their idiots. It's a movie. If you get that sucked into a movie then you need a life. Seriously. I haven't seen the movie, but I can't imagine getting depressed over ANY movie because it won't come true.

Thats too fucking funny

@ fearspreads, be a little more succinct. If I wanted to read Kafka I'd fuckin pick up Kafka

and now i have something to talk about at lunch tomorrow

There is an apathy setting! Just hold the light switch in the middle! no on or off! yay!

This is Pathetic.

It's a @#&%ing movie.

People are such douches... Yeah the movie was pretty bad ass, but it was just a movie...

Thats pretty messed up.

isn't strange, as soon as you're born, you're dying.

@ 29
Thank you, my thoughts exactly

aww, people are sad since they miss their glittery rock and blue kittys...if they want to see some glitter watch that recent twilight movie. more glitter on a pansy vampire body than Pandora. >:D

I understand why some people could find themselves depressed at the non-reality of a world like Pandora. You see, something inside us tells us that we exist for more that what we have experienced in this ordinary life. Somehow we know there must be more to life than all this. I have good news for you; yes there is much more than all this; there is God. If we return to God because it is His will that we do so (i.e. not because we desire fantastic supernatural experiences) then we will experience the reality of the words:

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him" - 1 Corinthians 2:9

There are many people who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God who are experiencing amazing supernatural encounters which most people would never believe if they were told. However don't come to God because you want the experiences, rather give your life to Him because He loved you and gave His son for you.

So, yes, there is life more amazing than your wildest dreams, that life is hidden in Jesus Christ.

's closet.

...No you did NOT just come onto Geekoloie, on a page about friggin' PANDORA, and preach religion to us.

...Really?

#35
Or not?

It is no doubt a strange phenomenon that so many are leaving the theater feeling a range of emotions, oscillating between inspired and depressed... but isn't the purpose of art Just That? To evoke something? If so, then it isn't really that strange that people watch the movie in awe and leave feeling depressed when they reflect on the disparities between the movie and their lives. It is that depression, when channeled appropriately, that drives the desire to be creative and change the environment around us to better suit our needs as living breathing beings in a dynamic system where every element is designed (and redesigned, i.e. "evolution") to support the others.
I think it's only natural that people want to feel constantly immersed in the thrill and wonder of discovery. After all, isn't that what this jive-ass game of Hokey Pokey is all about? The sad thing is, we don't live in a world where people are taught to live with integrity, and to see it expressed so vividly with the Navi people of Pandora for an engaging three hours and then to see the credits roll and reality set in during the long walk home, can be jarring. It's akin to having a one night stand with your true love; no matter how great it was, nor how much you loved her, she was only a fantasy. An experiment in sensuality.
Oh, and all that granola-headed, Birkenstock-wearing, tree-hugging crap isn't about fashion, or style, or smoking pot; it's about having respect for nature. Something that anyone can achieve, regardless of their social status, or cultural upbringing. If anyone thinks they can survive an airplane flight after having broken all the windows, killing the stewardesses and pilots, and pissing on the control panels, then good luck. Unfortunately (or rather, fortunately!) the world (specifically, our planet, Earth) doesn't work like that.
Whatever. It is just a movie, and I expect there to be even more mind-boggling digital effects in the years to come. What's interesting is that they spent something like 300 million dollars producing this movie, and that's still roughly $50 million less than the budget cuts facing California's public education system. Whatever. Why educate something that's bound to die anyway, right? Well, although that's one way of looking at it, I prefer the, "Why not empower something that has spontaneously emerged to express itself through a fleeting life out of the bleak and eternal darkness of space?"
Maybe that last line was a little too much for you "down-to-earth" types. Be that as it may, I can't help but express it. Alas, we are all imbibed with the quality of the sun. Even if we turn our backs on each other, our light still hits. Or are we more like fickle flashlights, fearfully focusing our effulgence toward the nearest abyss?

This is a solved game. Person Offering Advice is Oprah. Thank you. NEXT!

Just another reason for sympathetic attention whores to get their sad forsaken voices across to some poor sap to hear out their cries. Furry lovin' pussies.

That's fucking pathetic that people can't live the rediculous life they have fallen in love with over a fucking movie! So you're depressed? SO THE FUCK WHAT! Deal with it you fucking pansies! Go live in the fucking woods and eat bear shit for all we care! (that is, until the fucking bears that live in THIS REALITY eat your stupid ass) GOOD RIDDANCE FUCKERS!

@39: Flashlight baby, WOOOOOOO!

Honestly, If you see this movie and don't feel a little depressed about how you can't ever in your lifetime see anything this cool or experience anything like it then you have completely killed off your inner child. Now I'm not all mopey about, but I can relate. You're telling me you don't want to fly on a Teradactyl? Ride a swoop across the Tatooine desert? C'mon geekologie, spread the geek to geek love.

I saw this movie on ecstacy. Now THAT was incredible! Still pretty pathetic that people are getting depressed over this, it's just a goddamn movie.

How can the Avatar blog "help" people to cope with Pandora not being real by telling them to go ride a leonopteryx. Wow. That sounds like taking an alcoholic to a bar to discuss their problems (or any other addict, waving it in their face, telling them it will be ok). Go fly a kite; they are real and should connect you with nature (unless you are standing in a wind tunnel).

@39 Seriously, dude. Paragraphs... Learn to use 'em! Otherwise we look at your mass of words and pass right over it.

@35 But does God ride a leonopteryx? I think not.
Thomas, get a hobby. No one likes a proselytizer... especially when they're on a geek website.

It's only a matter of time until all those people turn into furries. :V

Also:
Avatar equals pocahontas with blue indians.

It is truly pathetic that people are more capable of having a religeous experience with a glossed over blue kitty version of dances with wolves than with the very beautfiful planet earth (which actually is tangible by the way) outside their own windows, if they care so godamn much about the environment. I would love if everyone that claimed to be environmentally enlightened by this flick planted a local tree species or donated a buck to a wild life conservation fund. But most won't. What can you expect in a (worldwide) popular culture that chooses artifice over actuality every day of the week?
The truth is, most people would fuck Megan Fox over their own girlfriend or that shitnugget twihard glampire over theirboyfriend in a second if one could get away with it. If plastic surgery were free, natural limbs, breasts, penises and faces would all but disappear after puberty. And this human acquiescence to selfishness and superficiality is why we put the Kardasian tards on thrones, burn rainforests for revenue, then baw and whine about how shitty us humans are only when it is popular to do so, only to abandon that thought when the next scintillating, magical fad floats along in the shallow pool that is the popular eye.

This kind of depression is only admissable if you are 16 and under, or otherwise mentally incapacitated i.e. medically (not fashionably) depressed.

Otherwise, grow up. And where the fuck did Daisy go?

solid advice GW.

......wow.

Now I'm truly convinced that Cameron paid someone to place a spell on this movie to make people so depressed, that their only salvation is to see it again. Thus the record breaking 1 Billion mark.

....this is just sad.

What's more absurd is that a site called geekologie that's chock full of nerds is bashing a group of people that are a little too into their chosen other-worldly obsession. Kind of absurd.... geeks have this tendency to come of all blasse, pithy and intellectually witty when really for the most part this subset of society is best marked by having a sort of mild mental condition that leads to a side effect of having a greater ability to suspend disbelief.... something like aspergers I believe. Anyway the point is.... fucking hypocrites...

@51 You're my hero. That's pretty much what I was going to type, except I used a shitty Matrix comparison.

@54 I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling or serious. If the former: congrats, I suppose. I got a chuckle out of your post. If the latter: I got a good chuckle out of your post... but for a different reason.

Also... aspies, lol.

The movie was crap, and so are you, Deal with it.

Hi Guy's,
I think this if you see this movie and don't feel a little depressed about how you can't ever in your lifetime see anything this cool or experience anything like it then you have completely killed off your inner child. Now I'm not all mopey about, but I can relate.

@35 : If you can't even go on a geek blog without preaching for that long you've got a way bigger problem than these idiots.
Guess what tree huggers, There's no hope for the environment (tar sands) we will end up killing ourselves and there's no way we can stop it now. I suggest living a normal non granola life for the short period of time you have.
As for the article itself, people are only depressed about crap like this because they have lived pampered lives. Do you think some kid in a third world nation would be upset after watching this movie? No, they'd be happy to get some damn food. You guys are seriously spoiled if you get bitchy and depressed about not getting to live in magic land.

@57 I think you're missing the point. A good movie *should* solicit some sort of emotion. The problem is when a person clings to that emotion and allows it to affect their state of mind to the point of "being depressed," when pretty much nothing in the movie was real or original. It's an overreaction and, as 51 pointed out, is part of the same popular culture that demands the goods and services that lead to the destruction of natural environments.

Case in point: the people in that thread (and I understand not everyone in that thread is talking about how depressed they are,) likely drove a car to the movie, and drove a car back, and then turned on the lights in their room to then turn on their computer and run the computer long enough to at least make that post. Most energy in the U.S. is made from coal, if I'm not mistaken, which is not clean... to put it lightly. I'd also wager a guess that those people's cars run on gas or diesel. And that means even these people's "new awakening," is merely a superficial... you know what, I'll just refer you back to #51 at this point.

I felt the exact same way after I watched Homeward Bound. Now I have to kiss a shrine to those little animals before bed every night, or I'll have nightmares about them never making it past the porcupine. God damn that porcupine... I'm still in therapy, but I'm getting better every day.

Stop mocking people who confuse 3D blue kittehs with real life and become depressed because they then realise that it was just a film - this is normal behaviour.

Isn't it?

@ 57 Yeah im sure anyone who saw that movie were a little bit unhappy they couldn't be there themselves but still, these people are either A) Mentally unstable or B) Posers.

This just proves what I've known all along - people are fucking shite.

Kebabyuchenko xxx

@39
Did you ever notice that the Corinthians never wrote back.
Nobody liked them clowns from Corinth anywho.

We gotta come up a name for these people, just like the rest of the fans who take movies and shows way too serious..
I sugest "Ava-Tards"..lmao!

I was depressed after The Matrix because I couldn't run up walls. = )

Suicide can be funny. Especially if you do it right.

omg lyke avatar was lyke so good. i wysh jake sully could come and rescue me with his skinny girlish legs. lolz. SSSULLLLLYYYYY SAVE ME FROM YOUR HUMAN PEOPLEZ

Why don't these people just get the damn game? Then they can run around Pandora all they want.

Avatar fans unite : Why oh you are ee gee a why.

Like we didn't have enough retarded furries as it is. Thanks a lot, Cameron. Go jump off a fucking cliff.

Haha what a bunch of dorks.

Actually I was a little depressed when I "woke up" from the movie too, but not because I couldn't hump a 10 foot smurf hottie with size ZZ-Ginormous breasts (probably the best reason to date a 10' smurf babe) while riding a dragon. But because of the freedom they all had and I realized I have so many god damn real life responsibilities. I felt so damn suffocated!

But hey, that's part of being...... AN ADULT...... deal with it instead of running away to fantasy land...

Depressed?
Got a questionable grip on reality?
Join our forums, stop washing and become a hippie!

My god, have these people not discovered magical mushrooms? Instant Avatar reality. Disclaimer: Don't do drugs.

Como son estas personas de retrasados :O

My man and I had a huge laugh about this thread last night.

We went to see this movie with our kids (my son and his son) It was too long and bored the snot out of the children.

As I mentioned before I loved the special effects but it was a rerun of a manytimes told story.... over and over and over..... please flog yourself for being a bad american and stealing land from indians........ NOW!

D did a review on another forum he blongs to and the conclusion that EVERYONE who responded to the review was, awesome effects, to long and tree hugging whiney crap, which is very fitting. D felt strongly that he should have worn his iPod through the movie and it would have been much more enjoyable.

Give me a break! It's a f$#%@^% movie for crying out loud! All of you on that forum seriously need to get a life.

Everyone of us do this all the time. We escape our present reality into anything such as movies, books, or games. Why? Because it's fun to pretend. We've been doing it since we were born.

So James Cameron comes out with a pretty awesome movie that seems more real and people would like to pretend a little more intensely than they had before and then they come down. Yes, it's not real, but if it's better than their reality and they cannot cope with that knowledge then I feel sorry for them.

I'd much rather be Jason Bourne than myself, but since I can't, I guess I'll have to live with who I am... plus I'll just go play L4D2 and kill me some mo'fukn zombies.

Narnia reference that is the story of my childhood FTW.

does anyone else get a bit of this "depression" after watching the lion king?

WTF?! Ugh I didn't think James Cameron could pull off another titanic. Here we go.

Those people must have pathetic lives to want to live with blue kitties in wonderland.

#64, AvaTards?! That's amazing. I'd kiss you, but only if you're a blue computer kitteh cuz I saw Avatard and fell in luuuuuv. *vomints in mouth*.

#44, You're saying I lost my inner child be not getting emotional about a 3 1/2 star movie that was hyped as the second coming? Sorry, All I saw was a good concept mixed with not-quite-there-yet technology and a by-the-book script an average 12 yr old could guess. I've not lost my inner child. Maybe I did. Maybe I lost it while using my adult body and adult mind to do fun shit in the.....wait for it......REAL WORLD!!!!!!

There shold be a forum like this for Sailor Moon. The day I realized Sailor Moon wasnt real I stopped beleiving in god.

You may not be making fun of depression, but I will! For f**k sake! IT'S A MOVIE!!! NOT REAL. I love how our imaginations get the best of us. Ugh. Next Andrew Lyyod Webber will remake Cats and call it Blue Cats. Okay I admit really bad joke. All I am saying is get the fuck over it. Also why did she go back if the film made her depressed?

If your only source of comfort is posting on this thread then please kill yourself. There is no hope for you.

@ 47 (Rich) That's solid advice, Rich. Actually, it was formatted differently, with paragraphs and all, but when I posted it in this thing, the indentations all went away.

and,
@ 63 ~ I think you meant to address #35 about the Corinthians.

Here's post 39, ~ Reformatted ~

Hey 85, you can't just make indentations using spaces, you have to separate the paragraphs with a blank line

like this.

or this.

Is this your first time using a forum? Probably fresh off the boat from Pandora.

Ok what i have to say is the movie was great, it does make our lives seems "non-awesome".
But FYI Middle Earth >>>>>>> Pandora.
Just picture yourself living in a much much more dangerous rainforest. I would face a horde or orcs over their big-ass bugs, imagine the mosquitoes, etc.
Sure catpeople are awesome, but imagine living without some bugoff.

I was depressed while watching this piece of shit tech demo. Only felt better after leaving before it ended.

What makes me sad is that these people are depressed NOT because society is selfish, but because THEY are selfish.

My advice: Move out of LA.

Walker told me I have AIDS

Pandora is the future here, all you need is technology!

I think people are so depressed because there is a crisis of loneliness in our age and anxieties about losing earth, not just environmentally but wholly as a planet in balance with myriad varieties of life. I'm old enough now to see how much faster things are moving and how little time new generations are being given to enjoy their families, their lives, their consciousness in general. It's all about getting that job and keeping it, about papers and annual reviews, and I think this movie, with its celebration of freedom and of the right of any one human being to face danger for the price of a life fully lived is something that is striking at our core, reminding us of what life on earth must have been like, maybe with less starry glitter and feel good philosophy, but all the same, something similar to this: free, dangerous, and exciting.

you guys are fucking retarded. depression from a movie? ITS A EFFING MOVIE... why dont you guys "wake up" and do something useful with your lives...maybe youll feel good about your self and this world if you get your ass off the movie theater seat and do something productive. get a job, plant a tree, help the homeless. or just kill yourselves because your so retarded.

or just take some acid. then youll be in a magical fantasy land. then drown yourself in the bathtub

I was banned from that forum all for uttering the phrase "just keep telling yourself it's just a show."

Oh Tom, oh Crow, where are you? Those giant smurfs need you.

Pssht the wardrobe only works if it's made from wood from Narnia. Duh. :-D

1,000 Palms to 1 Face.

THE FORUM IS DOWN FOR 45 MINUTES??

HOW CAN I COPE NOW!!

I'M NOT SURE I WHAT TO DO!!

I was the "Person Offering Advice." For all of you who laugh at us on the Avatar forum, I would like to tell you that the reason you laugh, is because you don't have a heart. You are the ones who will marry and have children because that is the "thing to do" and then you will turn right back around and cheat on your spouse, and dodge your child support. You are the same ones who will eat at McDonald's you entire life, and die of a heart attack at 50. You are the same ones who will screw over your own brother for $50,000. You are the ones who will leave an unwanted kitten to die by the side of the road. You are the ones who don't care that the Amazon rainforest which provides up to 40% of the oxygen on the planet, is being whittled down to nothing, as we speak, by greedy corporations. You are the ones who are destroying yourselves, your relationships and your entire planet, through your carelessness, apathy, callousness, and ruthlessness. "Avatar" is JUST A MOVIE for you. Because you have already sold your soul. So when you come across something that you see touches someone's heart deeply, the only thing you know how to do is laugh.

Hahaha Im the 101 Commenter hahaha. Anyways, i think Avatar

looks like a stupid movie.

Laugh out fucking loud @ 100.

That was the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life other than all the things in your little Avatar forum. You are the ones that will never have a grip on real life. You are the ones that will still be living in your mom's basement at age 40. That movie was beyond stupid. The only reason I made it all the way through that movie was because I was high. And just because I find You guys to be incredibly stupid and make fun of You doesn't mean I'm one of those people who would do any of the things You stated in your comment. You're fucking retarded. Or "Avatarded", I should say.

Please get a life.

well, this makes my day, another person saying avatar suxx when they haven't even seen the movie, again i laugh, go outside and take a nice big wiff of pandora air, DON"T GET STUCK UP IN YOUR BEDROOM!

ok #100 "neytiri" <how original....

your talking about feeding into corporations? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING BY PAYING TO SEE THIS MOVIE MULTIPLE TIMES YOU DUMB FUCK. and i agree with garden, you will be the ones who never get a grip on fucking reality, you will never get married because no one will want your retarded ass... this is a good thing because then you wont reproduce, we need less nut jobs in the world... you will never have money to spend because you cant leave your fucking fantasy world to get a job.... and you dumb fuck i have probably done way more in my life to help the earth than you.... u know what makes me feel good? helping real people, raising money for battered women and children, volunteering at homeless shelters, singing to the elderly at a nursing home, helping remove buckthorn from forest preserves, etc... all things i have done. you say those of us who dont get "depressed" because there is no such world as pandora have no heart? this is obviously not true. you just want something to cry about because your life is so boring and pathetic you have nothing else to find attachment to. try making some friends that arent cyber buddies dumbass. and if your that depressed get on some fucking paxil and do something with your life. peace moron

i came across this a while ago but now i feel like posting.

i saw the movie three times and had that brief period of euphoria, depression, longing or whatever we want to call it. Ive had it before (princess mononoke, reading books) it wasnt new. The feeling is real though, and its tacked to a dissatisfaction with reality. the HEALTHY thing to do is to bar yourself contact and revolutionize yourself in ways that will bring happiness to you. Not to shut yourself in your room playing the avatar soundtrack and post on a forum, feeding your obsession.

Theres a reason why I took down my avatar background, my poster, and stopped thinking about it. Its a slippery slope. Just look at all those fat japanese losers who "go 2d" thinking that its the only way to find happiness when all they need to do is have realistic expectations: the world isnt going to drop a prepubescent horny schoolgirl on your lap who's trained to be your wife. You will never be on pandora.
Wake up.

Or you could just drop acid, watch the movie 5 times in a sensory deprivation tank and then commit suicide. no one will miss you

I wanted to live there with hoompa loompas :( I'm so depressed , I already let drugs...but I do not know where they are

This sites called geekologie ur callin those emo kids depressed and sad when your on a site like this ohh the irony

Play the game Avatar!

what a bunch of stupid people, its just a stupid movie, will never see it or any other stupid movie, i live in the real world and partake in real activities, i hunt and fish and enjoy the real world, all i can say is for all you avatar geeks , find a strong rope and a strong tree and go to avatar or whereever beyond the real world, people like you stupid avatar geeks make me see red , hope i never meet one of you idiots cause i would avatar all over your head

How funny it is that most of the retards who said "get a life", "its just a fcking movie", and stuff, actually dont have a life. Thats why most of you spend time in forums like these, mocking about the "sadness" of other people, cause you wouldnt be able to do it in the outside world...

If these people gets sad, and depressed about this movie, its just because they have realized (in most cases, i think) that our world is going from worst to worst. i.e: overpopulation is becoming a really serious shit. With the current standards, water compsumtion and fields needed to feed a ever growing population will harrase most of the ecosystems in less time than you think. That means that there will be so much less "paradisiac landscapes" and stuff... Most of you would say "hey, but we have protected areas and shit", but you only know a side of the story. Most of third world countries are beggining to put aside the enviormental policies in order to progress in industrial development, to aspire in having a place in such a competitive world, where only a 20% of global population consumes over a 85% of current avaible natural resourses, but thats for another talk.

What i want to say, is just that these people, who get sad with the movie, sees an alternative world in wich life isnt rulled by social and cultural behaviors based on economic policies. Where every day differs from the last one, and not tired to a impersonal way of life (lets face it, our culture invites people to mock and laugh on the those who cant help themselves, and inspires a highly individualist way of life). Where nature is at the reach of their hand. You may say "nature is outside, just look at the window", well, most of people live in high density cities, if the see outside, they'll just see lots of cars, buildings and that kind of thing.

Im not saying that they are right, cause they dream too much, and do nothing to try to live that dream, and change whatever bothers to them. But try to be a little more comprehensive, and see the shit with other people eyes.

@Neytiri. I think u just exposed urself

HEY Want to use my friends words without permission? Thats great. If you don't at least quote, then don't steal thief.

I think it was Aldous Huxley who pointed out the absurd of condemning reality based on ideals, when ideals are nothing but a model of reality in which we abstract out the unpleasant parts. When we see a beautiful woman, we don't see the feces crawling around her digestive system, but they are there, and they have to be there for the woman to live. The idealist sits down and cries because his ideal woman, untainted by feces, doesn't exist.

Avatar is almost cynical in it's portrayal of an enhanced version of our reality. First, without the enterprising spirit shown by the villains in the movie, there wouldn't be a movie to start with: Avatar is a tremendously expensive and technologically dependent endeavour, only possible through a major corporation. The Navi rely on connectivity for much of they do, only Cameron magically turned it natural for them, not realying in the complex computer networking that actually brings it to reality in the real world. The Navi are all healthy and perfect, while in reality aboriginals look healthy and perfect because they kill their imperfect babies. It took the evil white men's urban culture and anti-nature religion to drop infanticide.

The Navi live in perfect harmony with nature, only that nature itself has never been in perfect harmony, and if it had, complex life forms like humans and, yes, you guessed right, the Navi, couldn't have evolved.

Pandora does exist. It is a product of our hyper technological society. You can be in Pandora through a Playstation 3. But it can only exist there, because it's just a IMPERFECT portrait of our reality. Avatar is just a silly fantasy, in which you get the kicks of being ALMOST killed by giant flying lizards, but never have to cope with what happens when such a creature actually takes a bite off a Navi's face and leave it to limp blindly and gurgling through the rest of it's long life (or perhaps they sacrifice their wounded too? Or they have a perfect NATURAL means of regenerating any loss of limb?)

You guys must be the ones that kick little puppies, laughs when someone gets abused and gets off by patronizing other people.
It is called having a "lack of empathy", and is a sign of psychopaths and sociopaths.
It is thanks to those qualities we today have war and persecution in the world and I do not blame anyone who tries to escape that!

The Avatar film is suppose to have 63 frames going per second that's almost twice as much as the normal 35 and has never been done before!

Movies used to have messages hidden in between frames like in horror movies: be scared, be more scared, be terrified! It goes by so fast you don't see it but your subconscious mind picks it up so you DO get scared.

This might have a connection to to the poor, stupid suiciders. I saw the movie too but I was to focused trying to figure out WHY the plants were shiny. I mean are they trying to attract tastey blue smurfy cats to eat or something? When I realized they were shiny just for the sake of being shiny the movie got stupid for me.

A man named Noam Choamsky who studies subliminal messages said he won't even see the movie till it comes out on DVD so he can watch it frame by frame.Look up a movie about hidden messages called Programing The Nation.
