X-E’s ’08 Summer Megaparty: Dr. Pepper.

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

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.

When Goose died in Top Gun, I died a little inside.

Man, I can’t believe only one person mentioned Old Yeller. I’m not a crier, but my mother allowed me to watch that like a week after we’d put our dog down when I was like 8 and I think I nearly drowned myself with the crying.

Also incredibly sad:
-Homicide: The Movie — The last act is incredibly well-written and sad. Between the Bayless-Pembleton scene on the roof, the bar scene it’s interspersed with, and the final squad room scene, I still get chills and a bit weepy.

-The Pedigree ad voiced-over by David Duchovny – Also known as “I don’t know how I got here, but I’m a good dog and I just want to go home.” I could give a damn about what people do to other people, but nothing depresses me more than when they turn in a dog to an SPCA for no real reason. Pedigree did a nice follow-up to this one though, with the dog getting adopted.

-When the Levees Broke, a documentary in four acts by Spike Lee – I think I cried through all four hours of this. I still live in disbelief that we, as a nation, allowed what went on New Orleans after Katrina to happen. I’m even more appalled that we’re almost three years after that, and parts of the city don’t have power.

One I haven’t seen listed:

The episode of Nip/Tuck where they go to the abortion clinic on Christmas Eve. Oh my fucking god, it makes me want to kill myself, i turn into a mess during that episode.

When Phil Hartman left SNL, sitting on a darkend stage singing goodbye goodbye goodbye and cradlng Chris Farley. What really did it for me was that he was clearly crying.

Torgo34,

What part of WV are you from? I’m originally from St. Albans, 20 mine west of Charleston. I went to Marshall from 2003-2005.

I guess I was the only devastated child when Ted Dibiasi(The Million Dollar Man) purchased Sweet Sapphire for a WWF duffle bag of fake money and a cheap fur coat….Poor Dusty Rhodes…..first that, then your son turned out to be a freakazoid!
