I always cry when the shuttles launch in Armageddon. It's such a stupid rear end moment but it's so forcibly trying to touch you it somehow works on me. Which is good tbh, I struggle crying and take out feelings in worse ways so least nowadays I can just pop in that movie and get the juice flowing.  Edit: What an amazing page snipe.

I always get the same feeling at the end when the kid is running around with a space shuttle toy after they save the earth but mostly because it was such a dope moment of "astronauts are so loving cool and we have forgotten that"

Mel Mudkiper posted:Totally. I mean, I am not gonna cry at Avengers but hell I am also not gonna cry at Schindler's List for pompous art nerd reasons and in both cases I can't really judge someone who has a different reaction i won't cry at that. i might cry at the end of GoT season and i got a little misty eyed at parts of the last episode since it was basicaly the GOT equivalent of the Citadel dlc in mass effect 3. I can't really judge people get emotional at since i cried reading the velvatine rabbit.

I’d also enjoy seeing it early, before they figure out what dumb stuff isn’t working and start tweaking. Making the staff be in character all the time seems needlessly cruel when they were hired with the understanding that they’d be selling hot dogs from a booth. I read that they have an in-universe term for “bathroom” that they’re going to make everyone use, which seems like a recipe for disaster more than perhaps anything else I could imagine.

But yeah I got into WWE in 2006, stopped around 09 and got back in 10 and never stopped since. Definitely don't have Stockholm Syndrome like some people like to say of WWE fans which I think is honestly kind of gross. I just like what I like. Oh yeah no if you enjoy it watch it. I def get annoyed at the dudes who complain about WWE but still watch every week, I was diehard from 04-12 and realized that i just didn't enjoy it anymore and didn't see the point in hate watching it

Some Japanese sicko with a farm just wanted an excuse to kill dozens of cats and dogs and everybody just went nuts for it. The cut footage is probably just him machine-gunning the pugs who lived and drowning the rest of the cats.

I remember finding out about it years before it become a popular piece of trivia because in high school I was trying to figure out how they did that shot of the dog being chased by a bear without the dog getting mauled and we looked for the "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie" marker at the end and discovered it didn't have one lol

I've just had to accept that I'll never understand the attachment to marvel movies so hearing that someone cried five times at one is like hearing that someone broke down crying at the sight of a lamp. It's not really my business to try to understand why, and I should just leave them to their weird thing.

Multiple people cried when they debuted the Twilight Princess trailer. Like, being moved to tears by a story is one thing, but this was over a goddamn trailer. And all it showed was Link riding a horse.

That’s pretty much my main attachment to them. They’ve been a staple of my film going habits for years. And it’s only recently that it’s starting to wear a bit thin. I don’t know about the people who were already adults when these things started. But I imagine the people crying are those in the 20’s right now.

They're not high art but Marvel movies are generally fine blockbuster nonsense and while they're from an evil corporation they at least have the decency to do the focus testing first and not re-cut every movie into a terrifying Frankenstein of conflicting visions and tones. Like Ant Man 2 was fairly mediocre but it's far and away a better movie than anything from say the Transformer's franchise. Damning with faint praise and all but I'm thankful for Marvel raising the bar at least a little and sometimes they make really fun stuff like Guardians and Ragnarock.

Also I imagine a big part of why people broke down crying has to do with the soundtrack. You look at that Star Wars Minus Williams video the Auralnauts did a few years back and that lays out with saying a single word how much music can manipulate emotion. With music it's a joyous and triumphant celebration of success over an evil enemy. Without music it's just two dudes and a sasquatch wordlessly walking down a hallway and awkwardly smiling as Carrie Fisher gives them a medal for doing nothing. Anyway, what brings folks to get sad or mad or happy at any medium of their viewing choice is their own business and people who want to mock or disect basic human emotional responses to things are weirder than those experiencing the emotions in the frist place. And that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.

I will say this: movies are an artform based entirely on emotional manipulation, and music is the most direct and effective way, but also i will absolutely laugh at you if you start bawling because spiderman punched the bad guy harder than in the last movie and says "those who sacrificed themselves, are the real marvel super heroes (tm)"

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah. Chris Ray Gun is a chud. There is no good faith argument to be had here, he's just as rear end in a top hat. Chris Ray Gun is kinda like when conservative-leaning channels make bad parodies of something funnier, being that he copies so much of what iDubbbz does (to the point of burping for effect). He's not high on the offensive list compared to someone like TheQuartering in terms of acts but he's just...well, kinda poo poo really. Has that thing where they always say "LOOK I'M COMING FROM A LEFT POSITION OK? I'M NOT RIGHT WING!" even though all their videos seem to end up basically siding with the right-leaning position. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGXZ4VrIlOY Now, as far as the actual content of the video goes I couldn't give a crap because I've not watched it (I mean, it's not an Armored Skeptic video that's going to rile up anyone but dunking on flat earthers isn't hard) but the video is sponsored by Dollar Shave Club. Those guys sponsor loads of folk and I understand getting the name out there and that (hell, I've even seen them on regular TV over here so I presume they're doing ok) but I don't understand - why would a shaving company put advertisements on a video by someone who largely uses a cartoon avatar? Wouldn't you want them to be displaying their nicely trimmed and thoroughly buttered beard or whatever throughout the whole thing instead of just in the ad? I don't get it
