Where the Wild Things Are film clip

Wait, there really are people crying at the fucking trailer? I'm honest when I say I probably would cry during the actual movie but the trailer? It's a good trailer (mostly due to music choice, I think) but come on. Nordling has been prone to interwebs hyperbole in the past, please tell me that is the case again.

Huh. 10 out of 10 according to Devin.

The reviews that have been coming in are pretty great. But maybe I'm just too cynical, but crying at a trailer is for 10 year old girls watching sparkly vampires.

No, I'm absolutely cool with crying at a movie. Nothing wrong with that. I wept openly at UP, just because my grandmother had just died and I had spent some time with her husband (my step-granddad, I guess) after the funeral, and he just seemed kinda lost in spite of having handled everything as far as the cremation, memorial, etc. It's sad to see someone lose the only other person that they felt like they had, even if caring for them can become a little burdensome at times. So I guess what my "teetering-on-saying-too-much" anecdote is shooting for is that there's nothing wrong with introspection and having an emotional reaction DURING A MOVIE WITH A COMPLETE NARRATIVE.

But when someone goes out of their way to state that the waterworks kick off EVERY TIME THEY SEE A TRAILER, I'm just smiling and nodding while reaching for the phone to call the cops so that they can come put this person in a straitjacket and on a strict regimen of Thorazine. Hyperbole or not, if you're having a full-blown emotional reaction to a film trailer every time it crawls across the screen, Pavlov's clapping and yelling "FUCK YEAH!" somewhere in the afterlife.

Yep. I've cried during movies and I agree with you there.

I also agree with you here. Those people need a good punch in the dick.

I only cry during the commercial because I grew up with the book.

[B_Metal]

In total agreement(with Jake). The trailer's do their job in that they make me want to see the flick. Nothing near waterworks though.

[nerdious dorkus]

I only cry when the movie is better than the book.

[Abraham Smashington]

I only cry at books because I can't read. Thanks alot Nerdious.

[nerdious dorkus]

But what about picture books? Rob, are you picture illiterate? Oh wait... I forgot you were colorblind. Sorry...

[Abraham Smashington]

[B_Metal]

I don't want yer cries!!

[Shit Dickface]

The Wild Rumpus just isn't as exciting in Braille, Nerdious.

[nerdious dorkus]

Didn't know some of you were also blind...
