It was only a matter of time before Avatar killed somebody, and it’s finally happened. Which is exactly why I haven’t gone to see it. Well, that and I’ve been banned from all the local theaters for public indecency excessive awesomeness and killer style.
According to AFP, the 42-year-old cinemagoer, surnamed Kuo, had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a stroke while watching the film in in the northern city of Hsinchu (Taiwan).
Emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih told AFP: “It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms.”The China Times reported that the incident represented “the first death linked to watching James Cameron’s science-fiction epic”.
Interesting, China, but if it was actually Avatar that killed him then how do you explain THIS GUNSHOT WOUND?! Dum dum dum!
He must have been drawn into the whole 3d spectroscopic system thingy that one of the bullets hit him. There’s no other explanation.
