It was warm, so I rode my bike to work. The way home is downhill, and I hit the lights perfectly, so I got going so fast, that tears just started streaming down my face as I flew past 2 cars. [Cry]

It's so beautiful

Tonight I saw Wit for the very first time. (The HBO movie with Emma Thompson...)

I'm glad I was alone. I don't think I've ever been so undone by a film (or much else for that matter) in my life.

Bikes are way cooler than cars.

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

I just watched the first two Allyria episodes in the Angel series. I teared up. Yeah, that's right. I cried for a show about vampires. You got a problem with that?

Posted by cheiros do ender (Member # 8849) on :

Angel has almost nothing to do with vampires, and neither does/did? Buffy, though it did when it started.

Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :

Beren, I cried at those as well. Also for the Angel series finale.

But then, I cried at the end of Leon (The Professional), and I sobbed hysterically at the episode "The Inner Light" on ST:TNG.

I cried at Donnie Darko, too. Does that make me strange?

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

Is "Inner Light" the episode where Picard lived a lifetime on an alien planet? I didn't cry at that episode, but it is one of my favorite trek episodes of all time! [Smile]

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Oh it IS my favorite of all time [Big Grin]

I was angry at the end of The Professional. Grrr.
Serenity [Cry]

I love the song Mad World, in the same way I love rainy days.

I don't want to relate my pre-firefly opinion of angel and buffy...

Posted by calaban (Member # 2516) on :

Oh yeah. Narnia, I know the story so well and still...

Angry? Why? And did you see the chopped up version or the full one?

That's the one.

starLisa,

Sad angry in the lost potential.

Posted by starLisa (Member # 8384) on :

Hmm... I agree with you, calaban. But for me, it was also mixed with grief at the fact that his little timeloop couldn't last and happiness at his having been given it in the first place.

It's very similar to that Trek ep I mentioned. And the movie "The Family Man", and an episode of The 4400. All of them had me completely wrecked, because all of them created something happy and then made it "never happened".

I'm so glad so many people are discovering Wit recently. For a long time I felt like the only one who knew about it.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

I loved the movie Wit. It really hit close to home since I used to work with cancer patients and my grandmother was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I cried and would cry for the next few days whenever I thought about it.

Apart from the whole Angel being a vampire thing.

Beren, I sobbed through the end of Angel. And the last episode.

*gack*

I was a mess.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Katie, I'm glad you're flixing it, I was going to recommend it to you.

Brinestone, as soon as she said the line with the 'semicolon' and 'explanation point' I TOTALLY knew it was your old Galactic Cactus sig. [Smile]

What a beautiful movie though. Val, I am the same way today. I've been in a teary, recovering state for quite a while and I was in awe/a wreck for several hours last night. I worship at the altar of Emma Thompson, she was so amazing.

Who didn't?

But then I get ribbed quite a bit because I cry at movies. Well generally any visually emotional scene will bring me to tears.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I cry at good insurance adds. [Blushing]

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

"Beren, I sobbed through the end of Angel. And the last episode."

The last episode was awesome. Although I wish there were additional seasons, I really loved how the AI crew went out in style.

"I kinda want to slay the dragon."

Don't we all. [Smile]

I cry at the fact that i have family; i am alone, with no one's heart to call my own...

Keh, joking, does make me a lil sad though.

Posted by oolung (Member # 8995) on :

I notice that as I get older, I get to cry more and more, and at really strange moments.

The best one I remember was when I brought to tears watching an old version of "Little Women" and there was the moment when Beth comes to thank the old gentleman for the piano and brings him a pair of slippers.

How odd is that? [Big Grin]

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

I usually cry to get my way.

Posted by oolung (Member # 8995) on :

Is it any good while watching movies? [Big Grin]

Mel Gibson doesn't die in the Braveheart? [Wink]

I hope nobody took me seriously. I mean, tears streamed from my face, but it was because of high wind factor. I thought I was being funny! [Razz]
