You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

I'd like that T-shirt, ita! Pretty penguins.

The beginning of Up destroyed me the first time around. I can watch it now, and I still cry, but it's not the horrified grief of the first time.

I cried and cried through the beginning of Up but I loved it. Then again, I haven't watched it again, and all the Up related parts of the Pixar exhibit I went to made me really sad.

I loved it, too, and I think the end of the movie made the beginning okay for me, eventually.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Actually, I think the scene in Up that totally destroyed me was the one in the middle, with the photo album. And I get the point of the scene, which was that life with Carl *was* an adventure for Ellie (and I made an oblique reference to that in my wedding vows), but...it still gutted me. *That* was the scene where Tim had to pause the DVD because I was crying so hard.

Although the first scene gets the stinkeye from me, too. Goddamn Pixar.

Y'all. I don't want to be crying at my desk and have to explain that the invisible people in the computer were talking about an animated movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And conversations like this are why I don't want to see Up! If I want to cry and cry, I can just live my life.

No, seriously, I was all sniffly just typing my last post. Fortunately the dog is used to me crying for what seems to him like no reason (or no GOOD reason*).

*(The only good reasons in his estimation are: "What?!? We're out of peanut butter?!?" [I agree with that one.] and "What do you mean, the V-E-T???")

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I saw UP the say my mom died. And I loved it, especially the beginning. Not sure if it was a way to deal with my grief or what.

I haven't seen Up, and reading you talking about it is making me tear up. And I still don't know what made me watch that Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama, as I never watched Futurama. But thinking about that makes me cry and cry and cry too.

Yeah. I actually turned off Frankenweenie halfway through last night because it was a little too much for me right then.
