Somewhere James Cameron is having a huge case of the giggles.

His upcoming movie, Avatar (not to be confused with the imminent fanboy destroyer from M. Night Shyamalan, The Last Airbender), was running a special tie-in by offering free tickets to an Imax showing of a fifteen minute sneak peek.  All you had to do was sign up online and you got a free ticket to the event, dubbed Avatar Day.

People signed up. In DROVES.  So much so, in fact, that they crashed the servers.

But all hope is not lost, folks–despite the positively monstrous outpouring of support for this one, there are still tickets available once they get the site operational again.  If you live somewhere near an Imax (sadly, I do not; the nearest one to me is about a hundred miles out) theatre, you can sign up at www.avatarmovie.com, and get yourself a free pass.  They’re working on rebuilding the site, so keep checking back to get your shot at that golden ticket.
