Joe and I both cry at that part every time we watch.
Eta: Joe would like to add that he does *not* cry during that part. It's allergies.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Joe lies. Joe lies when he cries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of crying, or not crying, I'm trying to compile a list of my favourite couples of the oughties, and so far I have:
- Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien
- Zoe and Wash (okay, cheating, because TV first, but still)
- Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist
Canonically, I can't think of any happy ever after couples I like. Uncanonically I totally throw Holmes and Watson up on that list, for instance, but I'm trying to play conventionally.
Can I really be that tragic? Anyone remember me liking a couple that both live through the end credits, preferably together?

Man. That one was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Well, I think maybe Zoe and Wash are favorites despite the dying, not because of?

They're kinda cheating because I liked them going in. But at least the narrative never pointed to them being doomed. It's a debate as to whether Twist/Del Mar or Li Mu Bai/Yu Shu Lien can be separated from their tragic ends.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I really dug Spock/Uhura from the NuTrek after I got over the initial "...wah?" reaction. Can't quite recall if you liked them as well, ita.
Erm. WALL-E and Eve?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can have Spock/Uhura on my list too, yes. That makes me feel better.
I am not large with the WALL-E love like most of y'all. I thought they were cute. I thought the movie was slow to get going. But I didn't find them overwhelmingly compelling.
It is quite possible that I need tragedy to really fall for a pairing. This is likely due to a singular lack of the loving in my own life, so I have no positive patterns.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm tempted to vote for everything involving Colin Firth.
