When I watched ET when I was a kid, I was definitely sad and empathized, even felt a bond to the characters, but I never felt like blowing my brains out.

I know how they feel. I only saw the 5 minute preview and THAT was enough to make me want to commit suicide.
I can only imagine the trauma I'd feel had I spent money on it.

If watching shitty movies increases teen angst and depression why hasn't the twilight saga been banned?

what the fuck you lookin at?
Come to think of it, I was a little down after seeing that flick. It does have something to do with the so called "perfect world" where the movie takes place. For me it was knowing I'll never be able to fly on those dragon lookin things that looks like SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!
that looks like SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!

because they are too busy crying to actually kill themselves.
Ah, Johnny! <3 :rofl2:

On my note now those people need to understand the difference between reality in this world and the world they make up in their minds.
When has the world ever been a decent place?? Obviously these people are unstable if they are allowing a film to dictate a physical state of mind and well being.
I mean, it's one thing to be sad about a sad ending or whatever. I know when I read a really good book I hate for it to end because I became fond of the characters. That doesn't mean I am going to go to the bridge down the street and jump off in the name of the novel...
Jeez! People need to get a grip in life!

^^ What he said.
you mean those who survive :1orglaugh.
It's fucked up. Even suicide can become trendy to certain people. Shame how some don't value their life more than to just end it like that.
Having had a rather crappy childhood, science fiction and fantasy books really helped me cope and gave me hope for the future. Now that I have grown and fully realize that none of those things will happen in my lifetime (spaceflight, colonizing other planets) it does kind of bring me down.
Spending ten hours a day at a desk making money for some guy I hate who treats me like crap just to pay off bills and a mortgage is a bitter pill. That's if you're 'lucky' enough to have a job.
If I had known that as a kid... that would have really sucked.

I don't know who said it, but there's a quote about how young people are dreamers, and old people being too bitter from the past, so the ones in between are the only ones who are truly wise. Not that it has anything to do with Avatar, but I think it's pretty accurate (despite still being a dreamer.)

Man unemployment sucks. Why I am going back to college but your right man everyone has dreams, Not everyone can make it a reality. You just gotta find the compromise and be content with it.
I'm not chasing kids off my lawn yet but I guess it won't be long.
There is an in between phase!
I went from dreamer (a really really short period when I was very young) to being better, jaded, and disillusioned almost instantly. Those bitter people pretty much have the most realistic view of the world. There’s a reason a lot of people get that way eventually. There is only so much life can continually kick you down before you see if for what it is.
The world is not a good place, and as much as I would like to live a life where I wasn't bitter, I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn't.
You know, this is exactly right. Whilst watching the movie I was over come with depression and suicidal thoughts. So much so that throughout large portions of the movie itself I found myself fantasising about the various different options and scenarios I had open to me in which I could kill myself and take as many of the innocent bastards surrounding me (who all seemed to be enjoying the movie) with me.
Of course it wasn't because of any of the reasons listed ^above^ it was because there was still 2 hours and 15 minutes to go....... :crash:
