Am I crazy?

[Jay]

So am I crazy?

My wife won’t shut up about what a loser I am because I post comments on an Avatar blog. She just keeps saying what a f*#king loser I am, (not in the joking way either).

I know that this is out of character for me. It really is. I go to the movies maybe twice a year. I don’t give 2 hoots or poop about sci-fi or fantasy movies. I really couldn’t care less.

But now this movie has sucked me into some sort of damn black hole, and I’m not sure why this movie makes me feel the way I do. Am I looking waaaayyyyy to deep into this? Am I crazy? Are we all just a bunch of nut jobs???!!!

Or does she just not see what I see? Is it that she just doesn’t get me?

How could she??? I don’t even get me anymore!!!

It’s just a movie! WTF????????????

I feel like s*#t right now.

Maybe shes just not as sensitive as you. I dont think your crazy, if you were then millions of other people would be crazy too ><

[RAMM]

Think of where your wife is coming from, she sees you spending a lot of your time one these forums which in her mind is unproductive. If you reallyfeel strongly about this let her know its one of your hobbies. lol maybe just ease up on this for a few days and spend that time with her. oo and ur not crazy homie

You can't teach her to see,

she has to see for herself,

I realize your in a tough spot, but she doesn't need to be nagging on you like this, whats the grounds for it? I mean Eywa forbid we accept another human being who has been touched by something

Don't blame the movie, I mean yes the movie did make you feel this way, but don't blame the movie for your wife, Its not just a movie, its a message and you know it, if she can't see that in a positive light then shes less of a person then you and needs to get over herself

its all good mate, don't you even worrie about it. you are living the same dream we all do and, same hopes that this could be real and maybe it is, you are going thru the same emtions same feeling like cameron when he saw his dream about Pandora and now you can't get it out of your head coz this is the life you and everyone here wants to live, in need of that amazing experience. just remember that this move has a very deep message and a very deep meaning for all of us.

im with you man and we all are.

I went with my wife to see the movie. She liked it, but is not really into it like me. I talked about the movie a lot, but sensed that she was not into it so I don't mention it.

I have been spending a long time of these forums. This may be a problem in other circumstances, but I am on holiday so it doesn't affect my job and she works nights which means she is not around during the day.

Besides she would not fault me anyway. I don't interfere when she chats to friends, including males, on facebook and she doesn't interfere in what I do.

In the end it is no worse than say playing a video game. I could be doing a lot worse, like gambling all our money on the internet or having an affair and I think she realises that.

Sometimes people get a passion for something. There is nothing wrong with that really, but sometimes people who don't share your passion don't understand (while of course their activities are normal). But it is necessary to limit your passion to appropriate times, regardless what it is.

My main problem with my wife is that she doesn't want me to see it again. She suggested I buy a video game instead although that costs a lot more money. So I may have to go alone when she is not around and just not tell her. I have no problem with that. After all I am a grown man spending my own money on something that is in no way dubious. So be it.

Honestly, today is the first day this movie has actually made me felt badly. I’ve been home most of the week because my daughter has no school. It’s not like I’m skipping work to blog about a movie.

We went to the movie last night for my birthday. In Tampa we have a Cobb Theater Cinebistro, so it’s a movie theater + bar/ lounge/ restaurant. We blew $32 just to get in, $53 on a grilled chicken sandwich and meatballs, and $20 on two pitchers of beer that I didn’t even drink, (I went for the vodka & tonic).

I actually had a terrible time. She just kept bitching through the whole movie, didn’t pay attention to any of it and kept making fun of me for how much I like it.

I agree with Jake. There are many other people who much more into Avatar's world, culture etc. like I, but in my case it doesn't effect in my personal life very much.

[Jay]

I don't care that she didn't like it. I wasn't expecting her not too. But she got real mean. Like I said, I know that this is out of character for me, (lets just say I never been accused of being the most thoughtful/ sensitive guy in the world and we’ll keep it at that), but damn.

[neytirifanboy]

In that case, there is no point on talking about it with her. Just don't mention it to her and talk about it on forums or with other friends who are interested when you can.

And definately don't take her to see it again. If she dislikes it so much, I am surprised she went a second time. In the end, it is not pleasant when someone makes fun you when you are watching a program you like, regardless whether it is at home or in the cinema.
