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.

Wonder how many with 'a history of hypertension' have died after watching porn

"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.

Crikes! I won't see it then, might be dangerous!


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

Remerbers me a case of a person that died when watching episode 3 of Star Wars. Died from a heart attack, pour soul... Not kidding, but who dies in the cinema with that movie?
