Curses! Tagged Again!
Once again, I have been tagged by Space Nakji. As such, I have to list some stuff that makes me cry. Fortunately, I am hobo enough to be able to express myself on an emotional level.
TV shows that have made me cry:
Good lord, TV? I haven't watched TV since Happy Days was on. Ok, that's a lie, but I really don't watch all that much TV these days. Here's all I can think of:
General Hospital: When Tony finds out that he has to get a brain transplant for the seventh time. I cried because the a) the writers should have the ancient Viking Blood Eagle ritual performed on them because they keep using the same stupid plot device over and over again, and b) why the fuck am I watching this in the first place?
Matlock: Remember when Grizzly Adams killed Sheriff Andy with a coonskin cap while Opie stood over Aunt Bea's slowly cooling, bullet-riddled body? That was pretty rough.
The A-Team: Mr. T. Such a tragic figure.
Charles in Charge: Not exactly crying. More sort of blood squirting out of my eye sockets.
The Groovy Ghoulies: Makes me cry because it's not available on DVD.
Ok, that's all I feel like doing with TV Shows.
Movies:
Braveheart: When his wife gets killed. I was SURE he was going to be able to save her! Sob city.
Wings of Desire: When the angel makes his sacrifice.
Dead Man: I teared up a little when william blake was drifting off in the canoe
Titanic: Yeah, I admit it.
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Chow Yun Fat on the mountain at the end.
The Fisher King: "I love new york in june, how about you?" robin williams actually made me cry. the sense of loss in this film is just really, really well done. SO GOOD.
It's a Wonderful Life: Duh.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: The end (don't want to ruin it)
Amadeus: Mozart's funeral just kills me every time. This is actually one of my favorite movies.
Glory: The final scene. The music and cinematography is just right.
Comics:
Um...I cried with happiness when I got The Tick #1 comic (he's nigh invulnerable, his Crime Finder is a ViewMaster, and he threatens to suck blood...through a straw! Also, his battle cry is SPOON. How cool is that?), and I cried with sadness when I could not locate my Alf #1 comic. But I found it again, so it's ok. Thanks for asking.

I was going to add "Glory" to my list, too, but I decided to stop at ten. I wasn't so crazy about Wings of Desire, but I DID cry at Wings of the Dove...
Also, you might be the first person I know of who also remembers the Groovy Ghoulies. I always feel like some kind of pop culture freak when I try to explain that one to people.
What else? Eternal Sunshine is coming out in Korea next month, so I'll finally see the ending.
Finally... Titanic?! Are you serious?!
I wasn't so crazy about Wings of Desire
are you sure you're thinking of Wings of Desire and not the crappy remake with Nicholas Cage? Coz that one blew goats.

a) well, if it was gonna be anyone, it would be me, right? ;)
b) you are a pop culture freak. absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Finally... Titanic?! Are you serious?!
Yup.
[faux belligerent]Wanna make something of it?[/faux belligerent]
I cried that Leonardo didn't drown earlier...
Sorry about the ET thing, I was just joking of course... Everything is fine.
The Tick is the greatest comic superhero of all time...
That is all
San Nakji, you are my new best friend. If ever we meet, I will buy you a soda. Perhaps a Mr. Pibb. Or perhaps there's some weird New Zealand beverage you'd prefer? :)
The Tick is INDEED the best superhero ever. I'm actually considering doing an entire Tick post, complete with fascinating information about the Mystic Order of Arachnid Vigilance (of which I am, of course, a member - I have the official straw and everything), and even enticing tidbits about what Ben Edlund (creator of The Tick) has been up to lately.
I think a Tick post is a great idea. I look forward to it.
I have no idea what Mr Pibb is, but I am game for anything... or so they say..
San Nakji, you are my new best friend.
Hey!! I bought you pork! Lots of tasty, tasty pork...
Ack! I totally forgot that the Pork Card trumps all. My apologies, San Nakji - Space Nakji is still my bestest friend. :)
Tee hee...
Dammit! She is always trumping me. First the Seoul Brother thing and now this! I am developing nemesis type feelings towards a certain squid from the ether...
Hey San Nakji,
Mr. Pibb is a Dr. Pepper-like drink. To me, it actually tastes a bit better than Dr. Pepper. Our movie theatre sells it instead. I like it!
AND...Gasoline Hobo, GREAT movies!! I had totally forgotten about Amadeus. That is a WONDERFUL movie! Very well done...and yes, the funeral scene just kills me every time.
I need to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Hmmm...maybe I'll go rent it.
May I link you on my blog? I always like to ask before doing so.
Take care! Great blog here!
san nakji: no hard feelings! it's just that pork is kinda important to me. i'm sure you understand... ;)
oricon ailin: of course you can link to me! thanks!
