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.

#17. To: F.A. Hayek Fan, All, I'd rather be shootin' (#8)
Yesterday in CenTex hill country...Melissa in pink (a friend of my son's) and Brooke (my son's girlfriend who I think may be the one ;)
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.

Your son has good taste. But can she hit the bullseye and bait her own hook?

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.
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.

I never saw the movie. Let me see if I got it right. It's about a cat that everyone loves, right? (heh heh)
I never saw the movie. DON'T SEE IT!!
St. Ausgustine on the State: "It was a criminal band that achieved legitimacy not by renouncing aggression, but rather by attaining impunity."
I never saw the movie. Let me see if I got it right. It's about a cat that everyone loves, right? (heh heh) Yeah, something like that. In the same way that Dr. Strangelove extols the virtues of the Military Industrial Complex and the sanity of our "leadership".

My mom's first date was to see that movie. Another tear jerker is Where the Red Fern Grows.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." 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?
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
Die Hard is GREAT. And funny! Girls stay out of the boys' clubhouse!
St. Ausgustine on the State: "It was a criminal band that achieved legitimacy not by renouncing aggression, but rather by attaining impunity."
Just play Die Hard and the girls will stay away. : )

The "Charlies Angels" pose on the bottom? They should have hired you three. .
Click for Privacy and Preparedness files Live free or 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. .
Click for Privacy and Preparedness files Live free or I would never watch that kind of thing and I'm sure I'm not alone. Now, please tell me the answer to something I've wondered about all my life: why do women scream?
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.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." The world saved by a Jew and a Negro. Yeah. right. Both are busy trying to destroy it.
St. Ausgustine on the State: "It was a criminal band that achieved legitimacy not by renouncing aggression, but rather by attaining impunity."
Mrs.L likes all the Die Hard movies, Witness, and anything with massive destruction, airplane hijacking, cruise ships sinking - that sort of stuff.
I really thought the interaction between Jeff Goldblum's character and Judd Hirsch's character made the movie.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." 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. : )

If that is what you got out of the movie then you missed it.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." True. I never thought of it in those terms, but you're right. I just thought the acting sucked.

both of those were good What about Fifth element?
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them.

Did she like Snakes on a Plane?

A quote from the movie: "I'm not Jewish." "Nobody's perfect."
St. Ausgustine on the State: "It was a criminal band that achieved legitimacy not by renouncing aggression, but rather by attaining impunity."
I don't know. I've never even heard of them, but that means nothing. This afternoon she was watching Stephen King's Misery on the tube...that bitch was one sick, sick, puppy.
There are evolutionary benefits to screaming. In primal times, a woman's scream would bring the hunter/warrior men back into the camp to defend the tribal dwellings. It's a biological rally cry. Screams can be both sexual and social and monkeys continue to scream for both reasons. Now, please tell me why men do not intuitively understand the primal nature of a woman's scream? : )

Oh, that's the one with Kathy Bates......she kicked butt on acting in that one.

Humor. I thought it was funny.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." That is why Star Wars is such a classic, even now. Not sure about the other ones, because I haven't seen them. I'm not real big on going to the movies. But you're probably right. Rambo was more of a gut-level reluctant revenge tale that men like, Die Hard was almost as silly as Ind. Day. Don't people know that real high explosives don't produce great big fireballs, and that magazines need to be changed once in a while? I like the mob movies, especially with Joe Pesci (sp?). He plays a great psychopath in both Casino and Goodfellas and I enjoy his ultimate demise in both. He even looks like Tony Spilotro, the real mobster portrayed in Casino. Those roles were perfect casting. .

Trying to enjoy a sandwich during the fight scene where she got beaned with the typewriter, shot the dude in the shoulder, and then they were rolling around on the floor with him trying to gouge out her eyes...great goodness, I had to leave the room so I didn't lose my lunch.
I was barely out of diapers when it came out. LOL!

What? Are you saying that there's no such thing as an endless magazine? : ) I like Pesci too. He's a great gangster. Did you see 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag? That's one of those dark humor flicks and Joe was excellent. I recommend that one if you haven't seen it, I think you would like it. Did you ever see Once Upon a Time in America? It's really long......four hours, but it's great. I loved GoodFellas too, Pesci, De Niro and Ray Liotta were fantastic. Some say, that was the best mob movie ever, but it's a tough call when OUTiA is in the mix and the Godfather. Al Paccino was great in that. I never tire of watching a good mob movie.

They have special weapons in the movies that allow them to load on Sundays and shoot all week.

It's a guy thing. Every real man wants, in his own mind and spirit, be able to do his duty, to stand in the face of overwhelming odds in defense of all that is good and right, and prevail. It is not even the accolades it's like the line in the old Western where the quiet Cowboy single handedly captures the Cattle Rustlers, wards off an Indian attack, collars the crooked Sheriff, and then shoots down four fingers of "Red Eye" without gasping. Then when confronted with being told by the pretty Cattle Baron heiress how wonderful he is, who has fallen madly in love with him, then wrings the brim of his hat, looks down and kicks the dust with the toe of his boot, looks up and bashfully and uncomfortably says: "Aw, shucks ma'am, twarn't nuthin'." It's the same in reverse on "Chick Flicks". Why on earth would someone want to set through 2 boring schmaltzy hours of "Fried Green Tomatoes" or "Love Story". Yecccccccch!!!!!!!!
