Ok, I keep seeing this Bridge to Terabithia title coming up. Is it really a good movie that I'm missing out on?
Yes, watch it, illegally download it, TiVo it, buy it on XBL ( I chose the last )
It's such a cute, and sweet, and dreadfully ****ing depressing movie.
but it's not at the same time.
It's, weird. I love it, I would never admit it to guy friends, but it's my favorite movie.
(swear, it has nothing to do with AnnaSophia Robb being the most adorable girl in the ****ing universe)
If you like movies that will have an effect on you, watch it.
but take into mind, it's a kids movie.
Still, made a 21 year old firefighter cry.
and I don't cry! lol
I can't think of any other movies that really hit me hard...
Actually, I lied.
Secondly: I wish more people thought like your or at least appreciated the seriousness of bringing a child in to the world. I'm kind of an odd ball that grew up really fast... I lived my 20s throughout my 12 - 18 age... 18 I joined the Military because I realized how off beat I was and thought some structure could do me well.. Not to mention I've pretty much imagined being a soldier my entire life (****ing subliminal messages)....
That being said.. even when I was young (16).. I knew I wanted to have children at somewhat of a young age... I wanted to be able to appreciate and play with them before being hindered by old age. No, I haven't always been the best off in many different areas especially finances... However, I've always felt I've had a lot to teach and could better someone else's life much better than my own. I was blessed with two miracle kids(patients; I'll refrain from details, long story) and almost feel it's my destiny to raise these two boys.
This is probably the most personal and serious post I've put on these forums or the internet period or perhaps shared online period.
I can tell your a real human being though as your correct... With enough understanding though; Or if you even take a moment to really imagine and put yourself in someone elses shoes. You can relate to anyone. Their is a reason people talk about sympathy pains especially regarding pregnant women and their spouses.
We can all relate... some people just don't care to.
John Lennon, (Perhaps not the exact quote); "Give peace a chance, If everyone sat in their bed for one day and just smoked a joint, their would be true peace" It may not be the exact quote and I honestly didn't bother to google it, though usually I do.. the message is there.
Excuse the derailment:
Opening the door to your soul when someone knocks can be a terrifying endeavor, but; it can lead to such wondrous treasures when you find those that are accepting. Thank you for sharing sir.
On topic:
Noticed someone mention Ladder 49. Seeing that title reminded me of Backdraft (I was cheering inside, against hope when Kurt Russell was hanging on to his fellow firefighter, "You go...We go!"). Another good movie that I was reminded of (was on cable last night) that is a really good, yet touching film is Hardball. It stars Keanu Reeves as a degenerate gambler that coaches an inner city youth baseball team. I actually got more than I bargained for with that movie.

Backdraft was an amazing movie, but definitely not cry-worthy :P
I've heard of Hardball, and I swear I've seen it once, I just can't place it..

Not the whole movie, just the part I referenced. Like I stated in an earlier post, sometimes it's not the culmination of an entire plot, sometimes it's the moment (see the I am Legend scene I referenced). Scenes can sometimes be relevant all on their own because of how we relate to them. Backdraft, for example, had me relating to the idea of someone you hold dear, who has fallen away from you only to re-emerge, but; before you can connect on a meaningful level, that person is taken from you (meaning the two brothers).
I'm a Pisces...what can I say? I'm a slave to dreaming and emotion!
Yeah, wasn't meaning the whole movie, sorry about that lol. Oh, and here's a a trailer for Hardball. Like I said, it's one of Reeves lesser known movies but the story is good. Tear-filled moment is towards the end (obviously lol):
The only thing I dislike about that trailer is the fact they tried to make it out to be a campy comedy. There's definitely humor, but the tone overall is a lot more serious.

I don't think I've seen it afterall..
It's like a baseball-urban-youth version of the Mighty Ducks.
