I loved it, too, and I think the end of the movie made the beginning okay for me, eventually.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Because books.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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???")

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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.

NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. My feels cannot take it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If I want to cry and cry, I can just live my life.
This, entirely. I don't need my emotions yanked out; I can barely keep them down. Catharsis, schmarthis.
I'm about to take a hiatus from social media. All media, in fact. I feel like my mind is getting pulled all over the place, and I need to shut off the noise of the world for a week or so and just be alone with me (and my cats). No computer, no tv, no news, no phones, I'm living in silence (well, with music) for a week.
