I actually got a little distracted by you had a sword this whole time and didn't use it? But P-C (I think) earlier in the thread cleared up for me why the sword was a weapon of last resort.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I had the same distraction but now I understand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How am I not going to cry all the way through this [link] ?

ita, I think that's an ugly-crying movie, much like this was for me, which I watched because it was expiring from Netflix Instant and I was not emotionally prepared.

Jesus Christ, there's no ending that fixes that.

Nope! Some movies are just going to leave you in a wet puddle of misery and rage.

Because books.
But there are also pure feel-good movies! The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is my new favorite in that category.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love the term ugly-crying movie. For me, that was Wit. Seriously, it was almost unbearable.

Oh, man, Wit was rough.
