is that some masturbation innuendo i don't get?
People tend to get depress easily over idiotic things... Avatar is not real, a music group splits, some people don't like Twilight, Halo sold more copies than witcher etc.
Maybe it is a good thing... nation of wussies is better than nation of hardcore bloodthirsty men.

and forget about real problems (for eample starvation,AIDS,etc.)

I gathered that it was more ex-Marines working private sector. Think "Blackwater" or the like.
At the beginning of the movie he mentioned he was on VA Benefits and had gotten out of the Marines (Well as much as a Marine can ever leave).

Perhaps.

I thought, when I read the title that Avatar has helping to snap people out of their greedy, petty, materialistic lives, by showing them the amazing beauty of nature and living in balance with our planet.
But no, people just wanted more time on the ride.

Well, that's an oxymoron, since there were no people to paint themselves pre-homosapiens. Unless you believe in the aquatic ape theory.
Google THAT.

come on, extreme cases aside, don't you tell me you don't feel a bit down (people, who have never been trough real depression, tend to call it depression) when something you like ends. I know I was kinda sad when I was watching last episodes of my favorite TV series, or when I have finished a game I really liked

I certainly felt sad at the end of Firefly, TSCC and the 4400... and they all have someone in common...
Still, after a film? especially a film like that! I thought it had a happy ending (not seen it though)...
Interesting vaguely related guardian article here...
Got interesting for me when it mentions what Columbus and so on did to the Americas... I knew it was bad, but it's actually quite shocking when you read the more graphic examples of barbaric European colonialism.
And here's one that's actually related to the original post... there seem to be people who want to start an actual Navi tribe... part of me wants to see this attempted. Especially if they all have to dye themselves blue.

Now I'm home i've found the article I mentioned earlier:

It must have been a very slow news day for CNN....

Maybe depressed for having paid to see this giant piece of turd. I dont even agreed with the usa invasion of iraq and i didnt like this movie. Just play the movie tie-in game of this.

Hell, I wanted more time on the ride. The "ride" was the only thing I thought this movie had going for it, and it was actually almost... nice. Of course I feel silly for paying too much to see it in 3D... that same amount would have paid for the gas to go hiking somewhere awesome.
But then there's the ground out there... I don't know about you, but my mossy forest doesn't light up when I step on it!

I'm sorry but if if you think Avatar is proof that James Cameron should retire then you are so disillusioned that it's comical. Now you could not like the movie, that's fine.. But to not see how this movie could win the hearts of so many people ( a record breaking amount of people in fact ) and why it is a visual masterpiece then i think you are just trying to hard to go against the majority for the sake of trying to sound cool.

What depresses me the most are all those people who don't understand why I don't care about that movie. I have to justify why I am not like "the majority" of people. Good for you if you liked the movie. That doesn't bother me at all, I just don't care and I am not going to harass you.

Was the 3d work that amazing? It didnt seem that great with that money sunk into it. They looked more like budget cartoon work..

Ive seen it twice and i plan to buy the Blu-Ray edition when it comes out. I feel the movie was fun and inventive. And when watched in 3D the movie itself changes into something so surreal that it cannot be described.
