Though we assumed since *Avatar *](Avatar (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)had dropped out of first place at the box office that our obsession with the film would take a backseat to more important things like … referencing Benicio Del Toro’s dog boy role in Big Top Pee Wee … but it appears the Mock Avatar Movement is still alive and kicking, at least for a few more days. First up there’s this somewhat amusing short mockumentary about a group of people who practice *Avatar *role-playing in the woods of Wisconsin. Called LARP (Live Avatar Role Playing), the most impressive part of the video is their fantastic achievement in make-up and wardrobe. While it definitely could’ve been funnier, I did like the ditsy girl and the hippie dude trying to explain why they enjoy Avatar role playing, and I applaud their attempt to re-create the Tree of Souls with lots of toilet paper. Check it out after the jump.
In related news, one Flickruser decided it would be fun to Avatar-ize a bunch of celebrity photos. With everyone from Ben Stiller to Michael Bay, each image attempts to show us what this person would look like if they were a Na’vi on Pandora. Special topical props goes out to this user for Avatar-izing that image of Kevin Smith on a plane after he was removed from an earlier flight for being too overweight. Check out some of our favorite images by clicking through the below gallery.
