but as I age I'm starting to find it's harder and harder...I find myself breaking down more often...and I try really hard sometimes to hold that tear back but then it comes..slowly out the corner of my eye...and when that happens and I'm on a date I just keep a straight face...and continue looking straight ahead I don't try to wipe the tear away...I'm determined to never let a woman see me cry at the movies but it is starting to happen to me more often...sometimes it bothers me because I know it's just a movie but I don't know why I get so emo at times...

Movies I've cried to:

Blue Valentine

Rocky 1-3

Armageddon

Marley and Me

The Hunger Games

Wall E

DJango Unchained

42

Wreck It Ralph

Gran Torino

Up In The Air

Never Let Me Go

The Pursuit of Happiness

The Movie O.

Tyler's Perry's For Colored Girls

The Truman Show.

A Walk To Remember

Message In A Bottle

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

The Green Mile

Crash

Million Dollar Baby

Steel Magnolias

Pay It Forward

Do The Right Thing (when they killed Radio Raheem)

Kobe Doin Work

A Walk To Remember


& yet it'd been done a 1000 times, you knew where it was going and yet it still took you there.

And the father was brilliantly conceived, expertly written, and nailed to the wall by the actor. It is their relationship (the boy & father) where the film lights, right on thru her death and the young man's return to town. You're never quite sure the father is vested in this kid, but, it's what his daughter wanted. And that was enough.

Good stuff, Kool.

Rocky 1-3



You must include {IV}, Kool. Not the whole thing,,,,,,only to the point where Creed is killed. After that it is hogwash, but, I forgive Stallone that trespass. He sets the character of Creed free in old fashioned Hollywood protocol, laced structurally by Stallone himself, his convictions & adherence to the timeline twixt 1-3. Now he didn't need a script girl, or, a continuity lackey to remind him where he'd been going in there. Stallone knew. He'd put all that on bond & on celluloid so he knew whence he came.

So, before he kills Creed he has him cite not his manager (Burton) nor his dearest enemy (Stallone) nor bloodline. No, it is his mentor, his conscience, his recognized equal/his wife. As Creed stands for the last time, leans back into that corner buckle, struggling to catch his final breaths he finds her. She his risen from where he'd stationed her. The tears are not yet in torrents. They'll be time for that, boundless years in fact. The tears just well, near the crest. He ever so gently nods, then turns to meet his fate.

You know who that is? Sylvester Stallone.

Yes, silv, & in the sequel: "Analyze That"---the ending scene in NYC with Jelly, Paul and Crystal as Paul, for the last time invokes "Westside Story" and this time it's not feigned insanity, but, an American boiler plate: "A Time for Us." A searing piece that encompasses so much of what the [American dream] mean't not to us, their children, but, to our fathers, the men. We are shown Paul here---finally. We'd forgotten, but, the director, he had not. Paul is at 6 years old, where earlier in the film we just hear it on the soundtrack: (shadows in the past)--(in a haunting moment for Paul) as he tells Crystal about the time his father took him upstate New York to his uncle's farm, dressed him in full cowboy regalia and led him around the property on a pony.

This time, this time we see it.

Harold Ramis...he is dead.

Movies I've cried to:
The Green Mile

This movie is insufferable to be honest. "Paul" and his guards are pompous and trite. And "Paul" changes nary a squint. He's just as pompous as a death house captain as he is as a 120+ year old rest home resident, lording it over the poor old woman who doesn't possess immortality as Paul does. How insensitive. Go to Hell.

The inmates in Mile are just as kind and wholesome as the fellows in Shawshank. It's BS. In Redemption their cold, aloof and murderous until Andy needs them to soften and then they're docile, warm and adorable, on cue. In Mile they're on death row, but, everybody is grudgingly contrite and dismissive of their murderous ways. They want to start their lives NOW. I'll just bet they do. Everything is "Percy Wetmore's" fault.

I don't like being manipulated like that, in either film, but, especially in Mile. Even God's angel is petty and selective with his indignation as he dispenses the cornbread in a torturous process.

I could go on, but, these two movies aren't worth it.

How bout when you matched dicks with Dirk in the urinal, Roguey? Close your eyes and I'll take you back...............

.........(The Waiter) brought him out of his latest stupor as Scarlett had replaced him at Hopkin's ear the two, from what he could garner were sharing shop talk.

"Another, sir?"

"Yes, just a single. Where is the restroom, please?"

"If you'll follow me, sir. It's on my way."

"Excuse me, Scarlett, Sir Hopkins." They gave a matched quick nod with a fast reassuring smile from Scarlett then went back to their conversation.

The ice turned yellow as he relieved himself. A lemon snow cone crossed his mind as he raised his gaze and caught his reflection in the mirrors. 'Don't let you mouth hang open. Don't forget. I won't. I promise.'

The restroom door opened and in walked his Champion. He stationed himself two units to the left, caught Rogue's eyes in the reflections and nodded sharply.


Chapter Eight.

Rogue finished before Dirk, shook the dew off the lily pad, returned his mamba to his Fruits, zipped, turned, and took root at the one of a long line of stainless steel sinks. In mirror image Nowitski followed in--two units down to Rogue's right.

Their running water preceded Rogue, maybe 5 seconds, no more than 6.

"Thank you." His voice emboldened by Fireball|||justified by clarity of deed.

"No, thank you." The accent pronounced. A beat had not been missed. No.

"I waited so long."

"I'm sorry it took that long."

"It's all right. It's okay now."

"Yes."

"You couldn't miss."

"I could not miss."

"How did that feel?"

"You tell me." Their eyes finally met in the mirrors.

"Unimaginable."

"Yes."

Nowitski chose the infrared dryer to his right. Rogue the fine white linen towel to his left.

The vibration had returned and she was not present to still it. Rogue pressed his eyes closed and steadied himself. The infrared dryer fell silent and Rogue opened his eyes.

His Champion was gone.
