It was pretty funny, but I can't remember where i read it.

It was from a Dan Savage "Savage Love" column -- try going to http://avclub.com/content/home and looking in the archives.

Yes, but Pretty with a capital "P".

"FIIIIfty percent off. "

You prefer "Where an educated consumer is our best customer," or perhaps, "Ya gonna like the way ya look. I guaranTEE it." ?

Jesus. I was clearly too concerned with the fancy French thingy, and didn't pay enough attention to the language in which I am allegedly fluent. Lesson learned.

Spread collar (images from the website of sebby's favorite retailer, just to be amusing):



As opposed to the dreaded point, favored by middle school guidance counselors throughout all of the land:

Neither of those is a spread. Go to thomaspink.com and select the type called "cutaway collar."

I wouldn't wear a spread collar without a suit. Its strictly a suit item.

I was self conscious about the ass thing, so I positioned myself to avoid its consideration.

My hair? The mullet, of course.*

* Actually, it is in dire need of a haircut. I should have gotten that done while I was in the City. Eh...

For me, the end Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) Every. Single. Time. Even though I know that the Beast isn't really dead, and that he'll be getting up in just a moment, and turning into a guy who isn't nearly as attractive as the Beast, it gets to me.

Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. From when Anikin attacks the Jedi temple and kills all the Jedi, but especially when each of the individual jedi get ambushed by the Storm Troopers. Subsequent viewings don't make this easier on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm pathetic.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5, "The Gift" Right when it's clear that Buffy's going to kill herself. I'm bawling like a baby. And I don't even like Buffy that much.

Robin Hood (Disney version) I'm not as bad as my sister on this particular scene, but I do get misty every time the mean ol' sheriff takes the little rabbit's birthday present. His little lip quiver when he tells Robin Hood about it gets to me every time.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The last memory and the knowledge that it's the last memory.

I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind first.

Oh, so many.

Platoon: Elias, left behind by the helicopter, running after it while getting shot.

The English Patient: Ralph Fiennes fulfilling his promise to come back for Kristin Scott Thomas in the cave he put her in after the plane crash, knowing she's dead by now.

House of Sand and Fog: Ben Kingsley, upon hearing his son's death and realizing ownership of a house and everything else is diddly squat, running down the street shouting "All I Want Is My Son; All I Want Is My Son".

Jungle Fever: Wesley Snipes and wife finally back together, crying and laughing as they make love, with their kids listening in.

Jacob's Ladder: His inability to let go and his torment by that intrusive voice that keeps popping into his head, taunting him.

eta: all but Snipes involve military men. I definitely have a fetish there. NTTAWWT

I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind first.

The room gets a little dusty:

(1) during the last 15 minutes of The Shawshank Redemption, when Red is on his way to meet Andy.*

(2) When Forest is at Jenny's grave in Forest Gump.**

(3) when William Wallace gets disemboweled in Braveheart.

*I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

**I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both.

I don't watch a lot of movies, and the ones I watch, I almost never watch repeatedly. However, I cry very easily (I've been known to cry during particularly touching reality tv episodes, though I do my best to make it appear that my eyes are just watering on their own in some non-emotional something-in-my-eye sort of way).

Long way of saying that my list is quite short, but here goes:

Philadelphia - opera scenes
When A Man Loves A Woman (I know) - I don't have a specific scene in mind, but I used to have this on VHS and it consistently made me cry
Bambi - I'm sure you can guess
Other movies - pretty much anytime someone dies and/or is separated from their true love; perhaps this is why I watch mainly comedies (I'm pretty sure I have cried during South Park: The Movie before, but I'm having trouble recalling which part)

The forrest chase scenes in Sleeping Beauty still freak the shit out of me, but they don't make me cry.


ETA - I can't believe I forgot Traffic - shooting outside the courthouse

Uh, bullshit. Unless your fiancee is male, you've been dragged thru NM.

Wait a minute... man or woman, you're lying.
