Fine. I'm just a wuss.
Bambi's mother
I cried when Stingray died.
:''''''(
They were all having a street party and he just sat down on a chair and DIED. It was almost as bad as when Edgar died in 24.
that was after
falling from a roof and being told he couldnt have kids as a consequence.
spigging hufter
That's how Alf Robers died in Coronation Street
True fact.
actually I did cry when Edgar died
in 24 :(
I
haven't seen ET in ages. What channel is it on?
Not ET
not crying as such
but i tend to well up at the stupidest things, often things that arent emotional.
yeah obviously
simba's dad.
Wow the Lion King is basically hamlet isn't it?
I've only just realised this. I am a doofus.
oh phil
http://tinyurl.com/4o94hm
Brokeback Mountain
does it every time.
Wilson
the volleyball.
^
I was gutted.
almost cried when
the boy from ai died
when the bishops died in neighbours
Gosh.
I thought AI was universally dismissed as toilet.
By the end of it, I was so bored, I just wanted it to end.
it was
still fucking sad.
But it was so far.
It started off set in a fairly believeable future with the robot boy. Then we had evil humans slaughtering robots in circuses and enjoying it lol, robotic prostitutes... Then we find out New York is destroyed but the old man's still there then it freezes and then he goes to look for the fairytale person then ALIENS abduct him.
Its like some fairly funny person was just coming up with more and more pathetic ideas as the film went on.
"HEY! HOW ABOUT HE GETS CAPTURED BY ALIENS!?"
I mean, its like having aliens in Robocop or something. Just totally did not work.
They aren't aliens, you fool!
They are in fact really advanced robots from the future. Sheesh, I thought it was obvious.
I mean
since when did aliens have screens in their faces and swirly electrical circuitry running through their bodies? You've got all the hallmarks of your common futuristic super-robot right there.
Oh sorry!
I forgot all forms of extraterrestrial life look like Predator or Alien or ET.
I'm sure they had magic powers. Didn't they make him fly or something.
God its such a gay film.
You're forgetting Alf.
How come aliens are allowed to have magical powers but incredibly advanced robots aren't? If anything it'd make sense for robots to have the ability to make other robots fly. Anyway, it's a moot point because they never made him fly. You've been watching too many flying robot boy movies.
:D
I have enjoyed this exchange very much! Thanks sir!
i did
when fred elliot died :D
Yes
The older I get, the less control I have over my emotions :(
Not when someone died
But I cried when Kenan's family moved to alabama leaving Kel behind. But I was bout 6 not 20 which makes it okay.
Oh also when the guy in green mile died
HE WAS JESUS
I hate that film.
Awww. Aren't these criminals sweet? Evil guards! etc.
I think you missed the point.
In the Wire
when Kima gets shot and Jimmy is in the hospital and starts blubbering like a big girl, that really set me off.
Oh yes!
I cried when buffy had to kill angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
I cried in Skins a few times (I know)
I pretty much choke up in every sad film.
Im a big girl!
my friend has banned
any playing of the episode in which Buffy's mum dies whilst he's about.
He gets mocked for this of course.
I can't actually say who it is
Cause I'll get told off for being a spoiler
It's alright
We know Dumbledore dies
WHAAAAAAAAAT?!
just kidding, harry potter's shit
you're just jelice
it was this right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYEBzoXmNZc
no
I cry when anyone in a TV show or film dies
Even if I hate the film/show/person. I wish I could not cry for people I don't so much like.
did you cry
when hitler commited suicide in downfall?
Way to
ruin the film for everyone.
technically
im ruining history.
history is told by the victors
Not really...
Hitler's death is disputed. The film could've ended a number of ways, or even not included his death.
everyone knows
that hitler escape to new swabia via argentina, and when he got there he entered the hollow earth and met his inner space alien allies. time flows different there, and the furher works even now to construct his mightly fleet of UFOs with which to retake the reich.
How much for the script?
Can I play
the part of the alien ally who warms Hitler to jazz?
Are you Biff Tannen?
NEED
MORE JIGGAWATTS
Is it in slow motion with sad music?
Guessing not. But if someone made a Hitler death like that I'd probably still cry, it's kinda involuntary....
So anyhow I cry at nearly every film/tv death ever. Better?
Well,
it cuts to a montage of his happier days - skipping through Vienesse fields and laughing with his friends. And that's sort of interspliced with footage of his face slowly passing as he slips away into a permanent sleep.
i had some tears in my eyes
when i watched brokeback mountain the day after heath ledger died. i was sobbing at the screen at the irony
Yes
My Girl, it was just too much when he was in the coffin.
Grave of the Firelies - saddest film ever.
Dancer In The Dark.
An old housemate of mine used to cry at Neighbours most days, she was a bit emotional.
grave of the fireflies...
Oh god! i kept expecting something nice to happen in the film, but it was just horribly sad the whole way through. queue lots of crying.
^ This
Jeff
from Byker Grove
I cried
at the end of Jean De Florette and Dancer in the dark. That is all, i'm usually stony and devoid from empathy.
yes, all the time
and to the really obvious ones as well, like brokeback mountain and titanic.
true story.
i'm sure i have at least once
but i can't remember. anyway, it's rare. i think books actually get to me better.
i balled my eyes out...
when buffy died at the end of season 5.
literally. possibly. sobbed. more than i should of. my brother came home about half an hour after i finished watching it and thought someone *real* had actually died by the state i was in.
embarassed.
oh right
you know the episode where she kills angel and stuff
i had that on tape. i cried to it several times.
yeah...
that was season 2 i think. that was sad :(
i pretty much just cried at every sad buffy moment. i was a little bit too emotionally involved at one point. :/
i stopped watching it
around the time i went to college so haven't been into it for years now. but i did have quite the crush on angel.
yeah it finished before i went to uni..
it wasn't worth watching after season 5...
Angel..... mmm. yeah that whole dark brooding thing :)
I have the most pathetic example
When Ash released his Butterfree in the Pokemon TV show.
It's not a death, but it was hugely upsetting.
Macaulay Culkin in *MY GIRL*
He can't see without his glasses
:'(
Geoff in Byker Grove
you could see it coming...
*grove-trivia: apparently the building where byker grove is filmed is haunted.*
haunted by Geoff?
Dancer In The Dark had me HOWLING with tears
Nearly
when Nana died in Royle Family. Only nearly though.
When Cait Sith 'sacrifices' himself in that temple
even though he's a terrible character and later proves to be a spy. Bloody sensitivities...
^ I hate myself sometimes
band of brothers
i wept like a girl in the last episode
you're not a girl???!?!
They never said they wern't a girl silly.
The concentration camp one
(I think it was the penultimate episode) was very moving...
todd in sudenly susan
Kerry Mangle
yep
When Nate died in Six Feet Under
When Ben died in Scrubs
The ending of Ghost Dog: I sob like a baby.
Not cried (far too manly)
but I got a bit choked when :
Toshiro Mifune dies in Seven Samurai
Bobby dies in Sopranos
i NEARLY cried
when charlie almost died (or technichally was dead for a few minutes) in the first Lost season. but i didn't really.
i cried in ALIAS
when sydney woke up after 3 years, to discover vaughn had married someone else .... :( *sob*
noone died.
(but vaughn thought she had). etc ..
