Everyone cried.
Not me. I was all cried out from the Amanda fighting scene. But I knew I should cry, which was something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See, I didn't even pick up on that much. Someone broke my cry-o-meter. t /lame justification I think I only cry when it's dead people and/or a musically manipulative movie. For example, I cried for a solid hour at the end of Titantic.

Oh. The crying gods are just so appalled, they're not letting you cry in the right spots any longer.

I started at the beginning.
"They are all gonna die!" What can I say, I sometimes am like my mom and anticipate and project emotions.
Then I just got progressively more irritated and barely finished the movie. I was dry eyed and unmoved by that point.

They're also messing with my ability to spell, but that's a separate vendetta.
I dunno what it is, but if I know it's going to be sad beforehand then you could grate onions under my nose and I wouldn't shed a tear. Catch me by surprise with mauldin craptastic anything and I'm gone.
Edit: see that, how I mis-spelled maudlin? Exhibit A for my persecution complex.

I didn't cry for Xander's speech, though I was moved in a non-weepy sort of way.
I always cry during Joy Luck Club and the ending of It's a Wonderful Life. Beyond that it's kinda random.

Wait, Leigh, you're saying Titanic caught you by surprise?

"They are all gonna die!"
That's what got me. That and the locking the lower-class passengers below deck. I just found that bit so amazingly horrifying, with the children and everything. In my defense, Titanic came out in 1998, didn't it? So I was only 13 and uneducated in the art of resisting anything, let alone the crying vibes that movie put out.
Edited to add:

Heh. In a manner of speaking. I thought I'd hate it, because even at thirteen I had enough wisdom to know that teenage heart-throbs (which was all I knew Leo as) make crap films. Plus, you know they're going to sink the damn boat, how sad could it be?
