Vet. claims Avatar portrays marines as psycho...

Well the left wing are up in arms because Avatar is racist apparently.

They are saying it perpetuates the white mesiah saving the natives from themselves idea.

I personally think there are so many people who have nothing better to do than get offended and read too much into things.

The churches' criticism of Harry Potter being always on my mind...

Maybe not everything being said by just somebody, vet or church, should always been taken seriously enough as to dedicate media time to it.

Some things and claims and statements are just this: too stupid as if they deserve to be taken note of and spending time with. that'S true for the Harry Potter criticism, and it seems to me it is true for Avatar, too.

Aye, that's true enough, the media these days seems to serve as a bandwagon for any nutjob with an agenda or an axe to grind to spout off a load of rubbish. Makes wading through the spam to find the steak all the more annoying.

Again, sometimes I think this kind of thing is brought forth solely to create buzz about the movie.

Now Avatar is causing depression and suicidal thoughts:

"One can say my depression was twofold: I was depressed because I really wanted to live in Pandora, which seemed like such a perfect place, but I was also depressed and disgusted with the sight of our world, what we have done to Earth. I so much wanted to escape reality," Hill said.

He "so much wanted to escape reality"???

Sounds like he already has.
