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.

I had to go to town today to see about getting someone with a medical degree to write my prescriptions for me, and I decided to skip dinner in favor of taking in this phenomenon, since hordes of sentient beings are flocking to it and some reacting this way. I figured it was better to know what the big fuss was about. Sure enough, I found it as crappy as I thought I would... just beating the living crap out of you with sound effects and MTV-speed menace. But I must say that I'm tickled everyone is going to see it because the message could not be any plainer.

We are the bad guys.

This is what we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan and Somalia and Yemen and ...

This is what we are about.

This is what we have been about for a very long time, and what we will continue to be about until we are stopped.

We will not stop until we are forced.

And, worse, people will not wake up until they are forced.

Most of them, not even then.

You love those big blue people like you loved William Wallace in Braveheart and Maximus in Gladiator. They're true humans. You're not. Doug, down in the comments, here, has the right idea.

For any who saw any of these three movies—Braveheart, Gladiator or Avatar—did you notice ANY of the people who fought the filthy plutocrats succumbing to depression?

YOU'RE GOING TO END UP LIKE THIS....

Sometimes I wonder if it's even good for you to be watching this stuff that gives you some feeling of catharsis for your paralyzing sense of shame over your pusillanimity. Maybe, if you didn't get to go to the movies to experience the emotional hits of victory over the murderating fucks of the world, you'd actually STOP them.
