No content tonight, as I must get a shitload of paperwork done to avoid being shot to death tomorrow morning. Instead, a survey, and one sure to depress you: Talk about the saddest TV/movie moments you've ever seen.

Chestnuts roasted by 







In “Cocoon,” when Bernie’s wife Rose dies, and Bernie carries her in the middle of the night to the pool to try to rejuvinate her…but the pool’s waters don’t work anymore. Oh god, as a child in the 80s I used to watch Cocoon over and over and cry my eyes out in that scene. Also the scene where the alien is dying was really moving.
The scene in Fried Green Tomatoes when you think Jessica Tandy has died was really emotional for me. And the scene where she is telling about her mentally handicapped son: “And then he closed his eyes, and went to sleep and…didn’t wake up.” She looked so radiant when she delivers that line. Very moving…I seem to get very emotional with films about older people.
