Why in the hell do women voluntarily watch movies they know going to make them cry? I just don't understand it. My wife actually seeks out these kinds of movies. I believe there is brain damage involved.

What I never got is that they can burst into instantaneous tears. Bam, they start the geysers in a nanosecond.

Well my wife doesn't do that, but she will go out of her way to watch a movie that will make her cry. The sadder the better is her mantra. It's senseless.

The reason I said "women" instead of "my wife" is because it's not just my wife. Her and her friends seek these movies out. They talk about them afterward, with tears!

Brain damage has nothing to do with it. If it did, I would be watching those kinds of movies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
can you name some of the movies?
The latest was Step Mom with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon dies of cancer at the end and my wife bawled like a baby. LOL! What's so bad is that she seen the movie before and KNEW that it was going to make her cry, yet she watched it anyway. She thinks that it's important to watch movies like this so that you always appreciate what you have and never take anything for granted.

Don't be a dope. Women are as they are. They are as they are so that they will rescue, and nurture and keep the young and small things that need rescuing and nurturing and feeding. Go clean your guns and worry about something else. That's what I do when I can't figure something out.
There is no long form.
well, that's a good reason. ;)
A Boy and His Dog Mad Max2: The Road Warrior Trinity Is Still My Name Goodfella's The Godfather Silence of the Lambs A Clockwork Orange Scarface The Exorcist
those made you cry? ;)
Yes... parts made me laugh so hard I started getting tears in my eyes.
When someone dies in a horrible way, but it's funny, now that's a guy movie! Women will never understand.

Maybe she thought she wouldn't die the second time she watched it. LOL!
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Women like the emotional release that these movies provide them. Some women like it more than others. My wife doesn't like that kind of movie very often, but sometimes, very rarely, she will cry at a movie.
God put the poontang on the dumb one. Otherwise men would have no use for them. ;)

Go clean your guns and worry about something else. That's what I do when I can't figure something out. Exactly. Men and Women, Viva La Differance', are complements not identities. Often they do the same things but different ways. However, the focus is different, as is the orientation. Men think in terms of providing and defending, and women in terms of children and nest. Boys play with trucks, and girls with "dollies". Just don't expect me to watch "Fried Green Tomatoes" and not make rude comments.
Women are as they are. They are as they are so that they will rescue, and nurture and keep the young and small things that need rescuing and nurturing and feeding.

yesterday was her first shooting experience and she loved it. especially the shotgun. as for baiting, she hooked my son. she's an absolute doll and they seem to be perfect for each other. i'm very happy for them. ;P

Coolness. A shotgun is a good weapon for a woman. Even if you don't hit'em it'll scare the hell out of em'. Point granted on the hook. ;-)

Do you mean to say that you've never watched WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS? The 1974 original starred Beverly Garland as the sweet farm wife and mother, and when she was sliding around on the soapy floor after the dogs ran through the house I thought to myself, "Ol' Walt Disney shore knows how to do subliminal soft porn!" The 2003 remake starred Dave Matthews and I was surprised that it had the same absurd plot detail where the boy would chop down every tree that had a coon in it, instead of knocking the critter out with a .22 rifle of course. Disney couldn't show THAT but, can you imagine chopping down a twelve inch diameter tree with a hatchet AND returning at daybreak with three or four coons in the bag? That was just plain silly, but with that little suspension of disbelief it's a real tear jerker for boys, just like the 1957 classic, Old Yeller. Yeah, sometimes after a hard day of hunting, 4 wheeling, log rolling and gator wrestling, me and the boys just like to rent the movie LOVE STORY and have a real good cry.
#23. To: HOUNDDAWG, F.A. Hayek Fan, christine (#22)
My idea of a good "tear jerker" is "The Cowboys" or "Rooster Cogburn", but then I'm jes' a po' country boy at heart. ;-) You did have to mention Old Yeller didn't you? Now, I've got a very unmanly tear running down. I loved that movie as a kid. Still do for that matter. Reminds me of my own boyhood friend, Rags, growing up. He was the bestest dog that ever lived.

It's that darn double X chromosome........ However, despite this signigicant matter, my favorite movies are mob flicks. I especially loved Once Upon A Time in America. James Woods ends up in the trash truck all compacted. De Niro kicks butt!! Mostly "action" flicks bore me to tears. Why do men want to watch them and make me cry? I don't know why men find them so enthralling. Most are just too cheesy to even bother with watching. So, tell my why men voluntarily watch crap like Rambo, Independence Day and Die Hard..........uuuhhhhgggg. : ) Where's the plot?

Good vs evil is a great plot. Timeless. Independence Day was horrible though, imo. It was so bad it was funny. The president as a fighter pilot? Yeah. I don't know who it was that played him, but I can act better than he can. .

Many of the great action flicks have wonderful plots. Take Soldier, Kirt Russel movie, for instance. They tried to make a better soldier by taking away his humanity. It was only by finding his humanity again that he became a better soldier. The soldiers that follow blind orders were the weak ones. Do I hear Promise keepers anyone? Then there is Demolition Man. PC gone awry. Really funny movie. Die Hard, rugged individualism not only is stronger but will win in the end. Independence Day, besides being a cheer leader for Americanism, it also had a individualist theme. As for Rambo, well it fits today more than ever. The police tried to deny him the freedoms he fought for. They drew "first blood". He took em down.

I really thought the interaction between Jeff Goldblum's character and Judd Hirsch's character made the movie.

lol.....that one was a dud. I enjoyed the Matrix, more sci-fi than action, despite Keanu Reeves impaired acting abilities. It's amazing that the movie could hold up despite that massive flaw, but it did. Die Hard, Independence Day and Rambo do no justice to good vs evil plot. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Dark Knight are far superior in working with this plot, IMHO. : )
