Avatar kills man.... apparently.

[Z of the Na'vi]

well, there are a lot of avatards out there, apparently.

Although now there's one less.

Excuse me?

This is one person. Do not generalize everybody just because they enjoyed the movie.

That has to be the dumbest insult I have ever heard anyway.

I'm going to leave it at that.

Ah.. I enjoy your pun haha

Seriously, am I the first person to come up with that, at least on the escapist?

That. Is. Awesome.

Eeessh... how'd that happen?

Read my earlier posts before insulting me, although seeing as you won't, my previous statement was:

Well, actually I came up with that on the spot, I've no idea if other people use it.

And have you seen [link]http://www.avatar-forums.com/general-avatar-forum/43-ways-cope-depression-dream-pandora-being-intangible.html[/link], because those were the type of people I was referring to.

Now read it, and don't jump to conclusions.

I find the amount of people advocating the use of the word "avatard" in this thread to be astounding.

I thought this was a place a person could express their interests without being persecuted for it.

Just another reason to despise the state humanity is in I guess.

 

[manythings]

was the release of avatar some galvanising event? I watched it and enjoyed it but not with any kind of attached fervour that everyone else seems to have in the "like/dislike" camps. Shame about the old guy but I suppose there are worse ways to go.

Over excitement?

I was bored throughout that whole goddamn movie.

Same.

no. just... no. that is a crime against humanity.

 

[Iampringles]

Poor guy. I guess it's just one of those things that could have happened anyway.

And why so much hate? I know it wasn't exactly groundbreaking cinema (aside from the visuals, arguably), but it was a good solid film that was enjoyable throughout.

He must have been like the guy from the Staples commercial. The one that is amazed by the price of every single item in the store. Life must have been very sad for that dude, the good news for him is that, um, yeah I don't know what the good news is for this guy. Maybe his coffin had a Avatar mural painted on it.

did it to make the song better

99 avatards all around
99 avatards...
you give one a stroke
you laugh at the clown
98 avatards all around

I also saw this.

Wait wait. There is a stupid name for the people who enjoyed the film?
Seriously?

What ever happened to:
"Hey I saw Avatar!"
"Oh yeah? I did too. I didn't like it very much."
"Really? I enjoyed it! I thought it was a fun movie!"
"Neat. Wanna go grab some ice cream?"
"Sure!"

End Scene!

Geez, people. Get over yourselves.
You like it or you don't, but let other people enjoy, or not, the film in peace.
Sheesh.

Seriously, its almost as bad a person I knew who thought anyone who didn't believe that everyone should have a gun should be deported

 

[Furioso]

Well certainly there are people who take things to the extreme when something 'new' comes out (Referring to the stunning 3D effects).
Especially when it comes to escaping their 'mundane' lives. Just Look at MMOs and drug addictions.

Although I wonder why they'd want to visit Pandora, when everything there seems designed to kill you.
You can't even breathe on the planet.
People are weird.

Anyways, your original post just seemed like a dig at people who liked the movie (I enjoyed it).
That's really what I was addressing.

Nope, I've no problem with people who simply liked it, but people who liked it that much deserve to be called avatards.

Well I loved the movie and i'm sure there are plenty of movies you love that I absolutely hate, opinions are opinions, time to grow up

 

[G1eet]

I liked it. It's not as good as Up. But NOTHING is as good as Up. NOTHING.

I'm with you there. It was a great movie in it's own right, but Avatar has nothing on Up. No amount of deforestation is going to tug at the heartstrings as the first 15 minutes of Up.

True story right here. No other movie had as much effect on me emotionally than Up.

Not even Mary and Max.

You guys just like to shit on fun don't you? Yes, the story was lame. But there is no way you can deny the movie LOOKED stunning. Jaw-droppingly awesome.

I thought maybe the guy heard Avatar won best picture at the Golden Globes and it gave him a heart attack.

It almost gave me one, that's for sure.

You'd better head to a patent office.

High blood pressure, watching a 3D, exciting movie?

SMART MOVE THERE.

this though its a shame he died. maybe hell live on pandora now?

Wow a lot of Avatar hate going on. Personally I liked it and although I respect others opinions I can't understand all the hate... seems to me like one of those popular to hate movies now and I just cannot get my head around why. As said some people might hate it and some may love it thats your opinion but seriously it's garnered a lot of hate for what is a brilliant film almost as if Avatar was the new Twilight of internet discussions.

I'll agree that it's nothing ground breaking but I was entertained. The movie had a decent if not exactly original story, mind blowing spec-effects and some good action sequences. I do get this sense that some people aren't saying they hate it out of their opinions and are mostly saying it because it's popular to say. Kind of like what happened to Halo... a game that while not ground breaking was pretty solid and surprisingly memorable. However people throw hate at this game as if it was Big Rigs.
