I only read Beast Wars and knew exactly what you were going to say. A lot of Dinobot's lines were either references or quotes from Shakespeare works, the line you mentioned is a reference to Hamlet I think. I think it's even more dramatic in that he saved essentially an early species of proto-humans, which Optimus then confirms as he says he saved the lives of those who live there and those to come, modern humans. Anyway, your avatar reminded me of a pretty good one that got me when I first watched it, Watership Down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMvGUCTpCIY That's a link to the ending, so spoilers obviously. But really the whole film was rife with great writing and amazing quotables, the rabbit's folklore and theology was beautiful. quote:My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today. Don't even get me started on Plague Dogs.

This ruined my life today at work. I had to go weep in the bathroom. A soldier's suicide note. It isn't my favorite anything. It is horrible.

I learned a couple years ago that one of the guys I went to SWTG with had died. Ive had lots of friends die but for some reason this guys death really got to me. http://projects.militarytimes.com/valor/army-spc-marc-p-decoteau/4490611 Every time I think about my time at Ft. Bragg I think about this super dorky, very sperg'tastic guy, who was a great human being. But, hes dead now.

The worst part about the Watership Down movie was the lack of Strawberry. In the book he joins Hazel and crew because his doe is killed in a snare. Season 2 of BeastWars was pretty rough. One of the few parts in Season 1 that got me was the floating island and we can't forget Tigatron's words: May I be forgiven for what I must do. And yes, Dinobot's last words "The rest is silence" is from Hamlet.

I know it's an old thread but... This post from Rashaverak on the EMS Stories thread in GBS is absolutely soulcrushing. Some other goon asked him if it was easier to emotionally deal responding to some horrible scene when the victim was dead: Rashaverak posted:I'm not quite sure what you mean - easier emotionally? Not much bothers me anymore, and the stuff that does isn't trauma, it's sexually abused children... and now that I work in a pediatric hospital I'm even becoming enured to that. People always want stories of blood, guts, and gore - but that's the mundane, boring reality of EMS.

Recently, I've gotten up to Episode 25 in Welcome to Nightvale. I was just listening along, and he got to the point at the end, in the parkinglot. For some reason, the mixture of the profound and mundane just sent me squalling. It was just such a beautiful moment, actually truly poignant, on this silly little comedy podcast. This is just recently, though. I'm just a softie, and it made me think of my own fiance and I, those wonderful days, the moment when two people finally really connect... haha, sorry, I got lost there a moment.

Sorry for reviving this old thread but I wanted to share this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mtZhEiH2Zg The ending to Homeward Bound. Just remembered it this morning when I was showing my son Youtube videos. "Hey I used to watch this movie when I was little, let's watch a clip." A minute later I'm bawling.

If we're gonna revive this thread, I'm gonna post a song song that tears me up because my father listened to it almost non-stop after his mother died: Crack the Sky - "Long Nights" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRAjc-tgUu0 It's not exactly about losing your mother, but maybe because we are kind of an emotionally repressed family, but the image of my father, sitting in his Dodge Caravan at night, listening to this song and contemplating the crushing loneliness of his widowed father makes me cry anytime I hear it.

This video loving wrecked me; no parent should have to watch a child die before them. The fact that this girl's mother was able to keep herself together enough to write and perform a song for her on her deathbed... I can't really put into words what I'm feeling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVjmihgZp1U

Sex Hobbit posted:"The Ship Song" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds has had me ugly crying for a couple days now. It's pretty cheerful by Nick Cave standards, the message at least. Go hog wild when arguing, clean the slate and then make up.

This is probably a repost - the article was published in February this year - but Tom Junod's profile of Mister Rogers in Esquire magazine is just a great read. It's a long article - grab a coffee. Then count up the number of times you welled up. http://www.esquire.com/features/can-you-say-hero-esq1198 (I'm British. I've never seen Mister Rogers on TV. And it still got me.)

It's a long article - grab a coffee. Then count up the number of times you welled up. Yeah, I've never seen an episode of Mister Rogers either, but it's really easy to see how he became such an icon. That Nixon hearing that probably everyone has seen by now is really touching and incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP3Q Hakkesshu has a new favorite as of 11:19 on Jun 12, 2014 |
