We're supposed to believe you actually read all those, are we? 300 & HOV I can believe b/c they're comics, but the rest. . .

 

Motherfucker, I will show you my fucking bookshelf and then curb-stomp you on the lip of it. While my book-to-movie ratio is skewed, i'm a fucking book nut as well and experience a heavenly sort of joy every time I get to go to Borders and browse.

I corrected it for you. Seriously though, all attempts at smarmy humor aside, if you're that voracious of a reader you should do a book review thread in the Art & Lit forum. That place could seriously use some invigorating.

 

 

"hurr hurr baytor needs books with pictures cause they dont hurt his brains like folks not wearing theys overalls ona sunday"

 

 

You really do get homesick sometimes, dontcha?

Jean-Claude Van Damme's monologue in JCVD, the man pours his heart out more or less breaking the fourth wall, I can honestly believe that if he were facing death those would be his exact words. It shocked me how powerful a moment he made this and when he cries it feels genuine and heartbreaking. My brain cannot process a Van Damme that acts.

JCVD?

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130988/

 

It's a comedy/drama, Van Damme plays himself, surprisingly he's a rather good actor. He gets held up at a bank robbery and blamed for the events inside after losing his daughter in a custody battle. There's one part where he breaks away from the entire movie and delivers a monologue about the bad things he's done over the years that comes across as very sincere and sad.

here's my tv (aka whedon fan girl) tearjerker moments:

 

when

buffy's mom died

buffy has her daydreams that her mom is ok and then returns to the reality of her mom still being dead and also later when anya goes on her "i don't understand" rant

; when

buffy died the second time

in buffy; when

fred died

in angel; and when

wash died

in serenity. joss whedon is such a bastard.

The Green Mile for sure. Especially when the young prison guard is bawling his eyes out too (but to be honest I cried when all the prisoners died except for Wharton) Until reading that series/seeing the movie I didn't know Stephen King was so politcal. Pretty cool.

 

Matewan--the end kills me--very bittersweet.

 

I'm pretty sure I cried the first 50 times I saw Braveheart--but after like 400+ viewings and a moderate dislike of Mel Gibson, it doesn't get me the way it used to.

 

SO MANY scenes from The Wire. The main characters that got me going: Bubbles, Duquan, Namond, Frank Sobotka, Bodie, Wallace, D'Angelo--shit even that last scene between Avon and Stringer when they were talking about being little kids together.

 

Once Were Warriors--ROUGH movie about a Maori family in New Zealand

 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

 

Dances With Wolves

 

Reds

 

I can probably go on all night. They say I'm kind of "emotional."

Have I mentioned The Notebook?

 

I just finished watching it for the umpteenth time and it makes me bawl as much as the firs time.

When old Noah is sitting on the bed just crying watching old Ally yell because she doesn't remember him...I swear that you can feel his pain so deeply. I will say this, when I go, I hope to be able to go the same way as they did...in Benny's arms!

Yeah man, that dog ep...

 

I don't mist up much because I don't feel your strange human feelings but what gets me as close as possible(and I'm yet to take the Dear Zachary challenge) are robot movies. AI, at the end where

he sits staring at the Blue Fairy for a millenium or something

breaks my goddamned blood-pumping thingie every time. Also, I Robot. I forget where because I haven't seen that movie in forever. Gonna address that.

On an episode of Orange County Choppers...the crew decided to go and ride their motorcycles to go see a severely handicapped young man who loved loved loved motorcycles and OCC. The boy worked like in a sheltered workshop type of place and it about made his life when he saw all the guys and their motor cycles. He was so happy and his parents were crying and even though he was wheel chair bound he was bouncing and waving his arms. They signed stuff for him and let him check out the bikes gave hugs and shook hands...and the fact that they took time out to do that for this young man who lives such a limited life still makes me cry for love of them all. It was agreat episode.

This is a clip from one of my very favorite movies. At minuite 6:45 to about the 8:00 minute mark Pop Gustafson is tucking in his ganddaughter...he tells her the most wacked version of the 3 bears and then sings her to sleep...I cry EVERY time. My first granparent passed when I was 9 and my last when I was 23...they were very much a part of my life...and Pop Gustafson reminds me of both my grandfathers so much... ^_^

All Dogs Go to Heaven

 

The touching, dream-like scene in which the spirit of roguish, criminal German shepherd Charlie B. Barkin (voice of Burt Reynolds), preparing to go to his death (he had been condemned to Hell unless he performed good deeds to earn a place in Heaven), apologized to sleepy young orphan girl Anne-Marie (Judith Barsi): "I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry"; he was being called away by his name "Chaaaaarley" since he was soon to proceed to his fate, but he asked for a few more moments to offer his heartfelt goodbyes to her; he hopped up onto her bed as she awakened, telling her that he going on "a little trip" and asking her to take care of his best friend dachshund Itchy (voice of Dom DeLuise) while he was gone; she told him as she hugged and kissed him: "Oh Charlie, I'll miss you"; he became choked up: "Yeah, well, uh, I'll-I'll miss you too, Squeaker"; she then asked: "Charlie, will I ever see you again?", he replied: "Sure, sure you will, kid. You know goodbyes aren't forever"; she told him: "Then goodbye Charlie. I love you" - with his reply: "Yeah, I love you too" - and then he was called away into heavenly clouds rather than to Hell by a bright blue light - he had earned a place in Heaven because of his self-sacrificial heroic actions (he had saved Anne-Marie's life at the expense of his own: "You gave your life for her") as the angelic Heavenly Whippet Annabelle (voice of gospel singer Melba Moore) beckoned him once again: "Charlie, come home..."
