Cripes its stunning as to what length they will go to hype this movie !

A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure has died of a stroke likely triggered by over-excitement from watching the blockbuster Avatar in 3D, a doctor says.

"likely"?
Some real "quality" "reporting" there, eh?

Dare we say a Titanic amount of hype?

Typical James Cameron strategy. Make a generally mediocre film, but expend record-breaking amounts of the studios cash in the process.

Result? A movie that cannot be allowed to fail because it would bankrupt the studio and severely damage the U.S. movie industry if it did. You bet there's a lot of hype.

As to the poor b**tard who suffered the stroke, well, it could have been anything.

Seriously though, considering the amount of hype, I won't pay expensive money to see it:smug:
