If so, we're in the sap club together. Plus I cried at Nemo.

Of the above, I'd say that Jesse's story in "Toy Story 2" got me the most.

I did, however, cry at "Cars" about the money I spent on it.

Well maybe I did too I just don't remember doing it. I will admit to being an emotional person so I probably did and just can't remember it.

Pixar has never made me cry, but that doesn't mean I haven't been moved.

A list of no particular relevance:

The last time I cried at a movie: Summer 1982
The last time I cried at a TV show: February 28, 1983
The last time I cried, sincerely: October 1987
The last time I cried, on purpose, as a form of manipulation: May 1993
The last time my lacrimal glands proved they do function: Yesterday when walking into a strong wind made my eyes water.

The last TV show I misted up over was a 1980 episode of The Rockford Files.

M*A*S*H* finale, Alex? What were you, like 12? What happened? Where's that sentimental 12 year old? WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

Alex · 06-05-2009, 11:33 AM

In February 1983 I would have been 8.

And it wasn't so much the content of the show as that it was a huge event in my house (my step dad was a huge MASH fan so I'd watched it a lot).

I don't know what hardened my soul. It just happened, kind of like one day I just stopped brawling (up until the seventh grade I was probably in a fist fight every other day then it just stopped cold).

Late onset aspergers probably.

That's pretty impressive, Alex. When compared with my list:

The last time I cried at a movie: last Friday at Up
The last time I cried at a TV show: the recent Office season finale
The list time I cried, sincerely: I actually still have tears on my face right this moment, thank you Amanda Palmer for that.
The last time I cried, on purpose, as a form of manipulation: last Friday on a phone call with Budget Rental, though in my defense, I really was upset.

Up was a really good movie, in general. The animation was spectacular (Pixar always one-ups itself with each movie on that point). And I can't wait to see it on Blu-ray in 2D... 3D seems to make things murky and dark color-wise, which I don't like. It simply does not add anything to the film.

Up was not the life-changing experience for me that some are making it out to be. I thought the first half of the film was wonderful (especially the scenes with Ellie), and I got teary-eyed at the end of that sequence. The balloon take-off and landing (as well as the scene of him sitting in his home next to the falls) were great. The interior of the blimp was wonderful, as was the sequence where Carl tries to get onto the blimp in mid-air.

However, the story totally fell apart in the end. The villain and his whole plotline were completely stupid. The dog (or dogs, as it were) was a one-trick pony. I thought the adventure would be, well, more of an adventure once they got to Venezuela. It just fell flat as to what they were trying to accomplish.

So I think I would give it an 8 out of 10. Good, but not Pixar's best (my favorite is still The Incredibles)
