Oh that would be cool if you could make it over here. I'm going to be pretty busy too, but i'm sure I can find time somewhere.

Well - UK is definitely in reasonable distance for me. Nice idea.

Great idea... I'd definitely be interested in that!
We should start a new thread for it, not clutter up this one.

Exactly what I've always thought. The alternative is just too unlikely.

Just watched AVATAR again after a few weeks without watching it.

Wow, it's so great. I still can't believe that a movie touches my deepest feelings and thoughts so much, even after more than four months. And that a character (Neytiri), who isn't even real touches me so much.

I realize that my longing for a place like Pandora is still as big as it was after I've watched Avatar for the first time. Isn't that weird?

UHHHHH NOOOO it isn't weird. I'd say one of the most powerful viewings for me was my 7th. It also happened to be the last time I watched Avatar in the theatre in 3D. My parents were seeing it for the first time and we had the place to ourselves. I went through cold sweats, trembled, cried, and completely lost myself in the experience... It was very powerful for me.

Agreed. Sure the first viewing is king of all my viewings, but each one after that I cry harder and my emotions get bigger with each view... because each view is sacred to me

Does anyone else still get that little "sting" of pain/longing whenever they see anything related to Avatar? An ad for Avatar just came on while I was browsing Comcast On Demand and I got one. Sometimes it gets so bad that I want to watch Avatar, but it hurts too much. Anyone else relate?

But I totally know what you're talking about I feel it too. Oel ngati kameie

@omaticaya: Did you watch it on DVD or is it still in a theatre near you?

I am somehow afraid of watching it on my TV at home, so I have not gotten the DVD. I somehow fear, that it will loose something watching it in small size and that it will diminish my memory of it. I mean - seeing hometree on a big screen in 3D just cannot compare to watching it on TV where it appears to be only a few inches large and 2D, can it? So maybe I'll check if there are reruns in cinemas and wait for that.
I still have the soundtrack running in my car though, just have to take care that song #14 (with the lyrics) does not come on while I am driving as I will always cry when I hear it. The lyrics to me have such a strong meaning regarding the longing for a place like Pandora, that I cannot and do not want to hold back. Actually, the day I will not cry over that will probably the day I loose something wonderful and important - as this longing and the emotional connection is very much real and very important and it is not only one that is attached to the movie anymore in me but to our very real own world.

I very much feel the same way- I have it on DVD and BlueRay but I haven't watched it yet because I don't want to ruin the experience. In fact, my girlfriend and I just drove to watch it again in 3D at a theater that's about an hour and a bit from both of our places, and I hope we can return there once more before it's taken out of theaters.

Getting off topic now- I really found that watching Avatar after not viewing it for almost 3 weeks (Due to exams) brought back post-Avatar-glow pretty strong. Not quite PAD, but that's part of it too. Hard to describe.

I've never spent hundreds of dollars on seeing a single movie over and over. I'm glad all of you are here to understand and talk to
