Something tells me if this guy didn't see Avatar he would've died in the next argument he had anyway. He was probably a walking time bomb.

Really. 11 days later, come on.

MAN DIES 48 YEARS AFTER WATCHING MOVIE "BAMBI"

Friends and family are certain the man suffered life long emotional trauma from witnessing the death of Bambi's mother in the Walt Disney classic watched in 1961 when he was in Kindergarten, causing his death. That, coupled with the fact he was shot 6 times by an off - duty officer while holding up a liquor store, greatly contributed to the man's ultimate demise. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO SEE THIS MOVIE.

I totally agree!!

yep, I agree, too.

saw one of those things that messes up equilibrium and it is not fun. I was dizzy the rest of the day. they should warn people.

I think that I am one of those who would end up very dizzy and off balance (more than usual? )
after seeing this type of movie....surely wouldn't be able to drive the car home afterwards.
I better stick to movies like Bambi and suffer the emotional consequences instead.

Well you don't want to go see it with my family:
I will always remember when my mom and I took my little brother and sister to the movie "Bambi" - they were crying hysterically (I was about 15 at the time) I remember how extreme their reaction was in comparison with the other kids in the audience. All the kids were crying, but in a normal way.
We had to take them out of the movie theatre because they were so loud and worked up.
They cried during the whole drive home.
I just don't think its a good movie for pre-schoolers

I don't know about Avatar, but I know if I saw Hugh Jackman in 3d I'd stroke out, nah, only if I saw him in person .........seriously though, now that I've read all the posts, I'll wait for the DVD version without 3d.....lol

I got very dizzy and nauseated from watching an IMax movie several years ago. First and last time I ever experienced anything like that!

 

[Kathy McCain]

Did you say Hugh Jackman?? Maybe I'll have a look anyway.

I know this is odd seeing me post, considering that I just posted a new thread about my mother-in-law possibly dying tonight--yes it still hurts and I'm still sad, but I also saw Avatar Sunday with my nephew. The odd thing is that I'm 48 and loved the 3-d effects. In fact I was extremely impressed since they use polarization technology rather than different colored lenses, so the colors looked normal for both of my eyes. My nephew, on the other hand, despite the fact he's 19 and plays lots of first-person shooter games on his X-Box 360, got all cross-eyed and a bit disoriented with a slight headache. He said his vision was a bit distorted for a short time, but was back to normal in about 15 minutes. The only effect I felt was I got rather sleepy for an hour after I drove home and closed my eyes for a bit, then, without actually falling asleep, felt a lot better and resumed normal activities for the evening. I was woken up early that morning so that could have been the reason for the sleepiness, too.

I think if the Transformers movies were 3d I would have been overwhelmed, but the upcoming Shrek III 3-D movie should be just fine--the previews shown looked quite bearable and didn't tax my senses at all. My own heart rate stays between 70 and 80 resting, and I don't believe it went up at all while I was watching "Avatar." I thought the movie was great, except for the foul language the Hollywood for some obscure reason thinks people want to hear in this and lots of other movies all of the time. The foul language alone is the only reason why I won't take my kids to see "Avatar." Get a clue, Hollywood! Drop the "colorful" language and you'll make a lot more money!

My mom (nearly 83) told me last night that my dad (just turned 81) wants to see "Avatar." He's intrigued by the CG effects. She's not thrilled about going, but she'll go because he wants to.
