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.

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.

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?

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
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.

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?

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!
