Avatar gave me a headache

I cannot freaking sleep and it's 6:20 in the morning and it's finals season. My eyes are still in Cameron 3D mode. The only way I get rid of the headaches is by closing my eyes and pretending that I am still watching Avatar. Seriously, my eyes do not seem to be working as a cohesive unit anymore. My brain is Avatarded right now, full on headache and all I want to do with my life is save Mother Nature.

I spent the first hour of the movie trying to figure out how to watch it, and it took another hour after that to finally get comfortable watching the movie.

You can look around online at other sites, and you'll see are others whose minds melt away while trying to grasp the 3d perspective. They determine that the cause of the eye straining stems from viewers trying to focus on blurred objects on the screen. If this were true 3d, your eyes would be able to move the blurred objects into focus. With Cameron's 3d, these blurred objects stay blurred and your mind doesn't fully comprehend why you can't focus in on that damned object.

Why are those objects blurred to begin with, you ask? Cameron's killing two birds with one stone. It's obviously much cheaper to produce blurred images and backgrounds, and blurred objects are a common director tool used to emphasize the importance of a scene.
