MANLY TEARS

[Blue Musician]

Toy Story 3.

Many manly tears were cried that day.

Even a sob or two.

I second this. It made me depressed for a couple of weeks. It was the end of my childhood essentially.

I tend to cry when I've had too much to drink. I'll start yammering about things that are bothering me and the tears just start to fall.

Although not a man I did get very weepy at Wall-E, Up! and pretty much any film where an animal gets hurt/gives it's life - Turner & Hooch has me every freaking time.

I saw Wall-E in the theatre, and I had fuckin' waterworks going when he finally got the girl at the end.

For me, "Later Buddy" in Gurren Lagaan, Wolf's Rain's Ending, Several scenes in FMA, AND the ending of FFX.

Any good acoustic cover of Call Of Magic, the Elder Scrolls theme. Something about it is just so profoundly sad, yet it retains this epic quality.

Also; winter and booze. Always manly tears. Only manly tears.

The Titanic was the last movie that seriously made me cry. I started when the captain walked back into the bridge. Hate on me all you want, I enjoyed that movie. I didnt even cry for the Notebook. How can one old ***** with alzheimers = the tragedy of 1200 people drowing in icy water because the designers/operators of boat were arrogant, elitist, snobs?

Murdoch was the one who doomed the ship by ordering the engines stopped and reversed.

And you can't really blame Thomas Andrews. He was always thinking of improvements for the ship, designed it as best he knew how, and didn't even attempt to save himself during the sinking. Not like that bastard Ismay...

This scene always gets me, favorite scene from LOTR by far, and perhaps any film.

I appreciate the history lesson. As my statement was not all that well thought out, I have no proplem dropping "designers". Perhaps, replacing them with "builders". As part of the problem, as I understand it, was that she was held together by rivets made with substandard steal/iron. The builders were not so much arrogant as they were cheap.

Not substandard, per se, since the steel had slag in it, and a certain mixture of slag can increase the strength. The problem was the fact that the slag in their rivets was improperly mixed, thus causing it to become more brittle and making it easier to pop the heads off (which would have happened anyway, given the force of impact).
