‘Avatar’ Excitement
Okay, I haven’t seen “Avatar“, so I can’t place too much judgment on it. I’ve heard, however, from acquaintances that have seen the movie, that the new science-fiction flick is a must-see. I mean, what can get better than James Cameron and a sweet tough of 3-D? They say it brings a sense of excitement so intense it’s enough to kill… literally.
Avatar’ Death
A man in Taiwan reportedly died from a stroke that was likely caused by over-excitement after watching Avatar. Over-excitement! Can you believe that? I remember when “The Passion of the Christ” first hit the big screens in 2004 and a woman in the theater dropped down to her knees in the walkway, wailing and screaming on top of her lungs. But falling over dead after watching Avatar is a little bit more on the extreme side.
Then again, the Taiwanese man probably shouldn’t have seen the movie in the first place, especially in 3-D. According to the AFP, the man is said to have had a history of high blood pressure. He was taken to the hospital where a scan revealed that his brain was hemorrhaging. An emergency doctor said that “It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms.” Poor guy.
