Rudy and Basketball Diaries, totally understandable and probably what I would have mentioned instead of Step Mom.
oh come on..... throw me a bone will ya..... anyone who has come from a broken home and had to deal with your parents boning other random people, if Stepmom don't rip your heart out of our ass, I don't know what else to tell ya haha You know I'm just messin with ya dude. I'm not a huge fan of Step Mom, but I did cry when I saw it and the subject matter was definitely emotional. But you know I can't just leave it when you start a post with "That's the gayest thing I've ever heard" and end it with Step Mom. Touché |

The comic is amazing and made me breakdown into wracking sobs.
Watching the movie Stepmom and sobbing......OK, I'm with you there. Crying at a Julia Roberts movie? This is atleast as gay as crying over a comic book. Hey man, if you don't at least get choked up at the end of StepMom, I'll have to agree with the theory of you being cooooold bloooooooooooodeeeeed (in my best Rick James voice) You cold as ice Charlie Murphy! DarknessES! Ok, so you give shit to GC for crying during what I imagine are emotional parts of a SERIES that happens to be about zombies, and then you let it be known that you cried during Step Mom? I am dying over here. This thread just made my morning. Gotta correct you......he didnt cry during the an episode on tv. He cried while holding a comic book with pictures of people. Cartoons. StepMom and Rudy. Get me every time. Oh and one scene in Basketball Diaries. Until you give it a chance, your words mean NOTHING to me. I'll never cry at a Julia Roberts movie. I've never seen Rudy, but I'm willing to watch it just to prove that I WON'T cry. |

I've never seen Rudy, but I'm willing to watch it just to prove that I WON'T cry. Never seen Stepmom. I have seen Rudy multiple times and although it's a very entertaining and inspiring film (Sean Astin is one of the great under appreciated actors of our generation) , I never quite felt compelled to cry. My history with scenes that make me cry in films is weird..some movies just lose me and the sentiment doesn't work but there are others where I find myself surprisingly moved. Two of the most noteworthy in the latter category are the scene where the kid has to put down Old Yeller in the film of the same name and the scene where Forrest is standing by Jenny's grave in Forrest Gump . It's the first time the film acknowledges as a fact that she eventually succumbed to her disease. That one always stands out for me in particular because it's one of the few times I was crying not for the character who had died, but for the character mourning her. I just felt so bad for this guy who had basically lived an entire life (for better and for worse) at the whim of chance and who-after all of his travels and years of pining away for her- had to watch the great love of his life wither and die only a short time after he learns that he had a child with her. Oddly, I also get kind of worked up when Evil ed dies in the original Fright Night. the whimpers of pain he issues during his death throes are so pathetic that its hard not to have at least some sympathy for the kid. I never cried during the Walking Dead..but it's an extraordinarily powerful and moving show in regards to the dramatic context and, if there is a show centered around a supernatural premise that I could see causing me to a least get emotional, that'd be the one. Final thought: This entire discussion brings into sharp relief a memory of what to this day is my all time favorite GMG post on Horrorwatch, left a few years back on an occasion when, inexplicably and without any provocation I am aware of, he apparently got high and decided to use the forum to acknowledge that he had come to tolerate the existence of gay people and was essentially okay with them making whatever personal lifestyle choice they desired . The standout remark (which had me doubled over with laughter at the time and still puts a grin on my grill to this day whenever something reminds me of it ) of the entire post was his concluding sentence, which I will never, ever forget: "Rock on, you fruity bastards." Holy crap, was that funny. |

Holy crap, was that funny. For the record, I DO cry during movies: I cried when Yoda died. I cried when Artax succumbed to the Swamps of Sadness in The Neverending Story. What Dreams May Come made me cry THREE time when I saw it, but not long after that I got saved and now see the movie as crap. I cry whenever King Kong loses to the airplanes. I cry every time I watch Requiem For A Dream (which is once a year and I'm overdue for a viewing). I cried the first time I saw Honey, I Shrunk the Kids when the ant died. I think that's it. Toy Story 3 apparently has a scene that's GUARANTEED to make grown men cry. I've seen it (the whole movie in bits and pieces, but I've seen the entire movie), and haven't cried yet. |

that is too funny, man....... I remember that. That post was actually inspired by the scene in The 40 year old Virgin where Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd go back and forth "You know how I know you're gay?" I thought it was a funny concept for a thread to go back and forth but the PC atmosphere of the site left me high and dry. Quite literally haha good times. The thing is, us Bostonians have always had the stereotype of being really racist, sexiest, etc...pretty much the opposite of politically correct. But at the end of the day, I think it just speaks to the certain sense of humor the majority of males in this region have.....you may hear some pretty offensive stuff in my circles banter, but I can honestly say I've never witnessed any form of discriminatory actions towards any group of people. So in short.....I enjoy playing the part...... |

Does that mean you liked it.....or hated it? Literally can't post anything less informative. So shocked and awe you can't type anything more, yet you were able to log online and post on horrorwatch? I saw a commersial for this. My buddy and I looked at each other, eyes skwinted, "What the fuck is a mid-season finale?" I'm assuming they're taking a break for a few weeks before starting the latter episodes of the season, but really...... that's what you're going to call it? Fuckin' retarded. |

I'm pretty sure it means he liked it. I've seen similar comments posted around the web, all of which had a distinctly positive connotation . Apparently, for a last episode to air episode airing before a hiatus, this one was exceptionally awesome. I agree about the phrase "mid season finale". Just call it the last show before hiatus . If the season isn't over, then it isn't a finale, now is it? Illiteracy is a big enough issue in this country. Can we stop butchering the English language by diluting the actual definition of certain words so as to render them meaningless in the name of corporate market research? Finale= derivative of FINAL. End. Over. Done with. If the show is coming back with new material during an allotted time frame designated as part of the same season , then this episode didn't "end" anything. |

Last year The Walking Dead was a good show. I probably overated it because I've been so desperate for a horror television show...
...That being said, this year it's not a good show, it's a GREAT show. Holy hell Walking Dead has really become must see tv. It's just so damn good.
And yes the finale was amazing. Ends on a cliffhanger, can't wait till Feb.

I think they call it a mid-season finale so people don't freak out that it's not coming back until the middle of February.
Earp, I gotta disagree a little bit. I love the show, but I've felt as a whole this season has been weaker than the first. I loved last night's episode because stuff actually happened and shit got resolved. I'm not loving the whole farm house aspect, because the first season was so tense in that zombies could come at any time and fuck shit up. Now they're on a really private area where they would know in advance if walkers were coming. It just takes a little of the thrill out of it for me. That's not to say there haven't been awesome episodes this season, really awesome scenes, etc. Also, I feel like the dialogue has been pretty shoddy in parts, and people have started to turn into stereotypes a little.
I'm making it sound like I don't like the show, I swear it's not true! When I'm watching an episode, I am 110% involved and into it, it's just after I reflect I'm not quite as pumped as last year. But that might have all changed with the last 5 minutes last night. Couldn't have said it better myself, GC.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Mid-season finale because November is a sweeps month. The season resumes in Febreuary...also a sweeps month. The ending was completely unexpected. Sophia has been around in the comic and is, in fact, still alive and well. Seeing her zombified was a total shock for those of us who know the comic. |

I looked for an update on this series in the forums and decided that this was the latest thread. Again, just to remind everybody NO SPOILERS FROM THE COMIC ON THINGS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET OR COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN LATER!!!! I'm not referring to anything you've said GC, I just feel that it bears repeating since I've seen many a person's dreams get crushed by all the douches over on IMDB intentionally (or unintentionally) throwing spoilers out there. Having said that, anything from the latest episode back is fair game. If you aren't caught up, I would stop reading. Now, let's begin...
What's people's take on all the shit that's been going down? The standoff in the bar in the "Nebraska" episode was some of the most tense/awesome shit I've seen in years. Unbelievable. Of course now I'm bummed. First they hit me with Dale getting offed, then they bury me with Shane getting killed. I believe there was a collective gasp around the world when that happened. I have to tell you, there may be a little side story on Shane maybe getting scratched by a zombie in an earlier episode and slowly going insane. I'm just guessing, but he was really struggling with sanity. We might not get much time to mourn Shane and Dale though, as next week looks like some serious downsizing. What do you all think?

I have never had such a love/hate relationship with a show. I love it, but I get so mad when I'm watching it. A coworker and I talk about it every Monday, and we feel like the only people who were firmly in the Shane camp. I know in the comics he died very early on, and I've experienced that crushing feeling when I read that he was going to die before the end of the season. I didn't want to know that and I wasn't looking for spoilers, so I was pissed and just kept hoping it wasn't true. Shane definitely had issues with his sanity, but he also constantly made better decisions than Rick. I think Dave Navarro was on Talking Dead, and he said something that I thought was the perfect. He said that Shane was doing what had to be done, and was really helping the group a lot more than Rick. He just went about it in the worst way, always being very confrontational when obviously the group doesn't react that well with it. If he hadn't opened the barn, they would still be out there trying to find Sophia. He could have found a better way to do it, but it needed to be done.
Rick drives me crazy a lot of the time, but he does have his moments. But when Shane told him that he really needed to talk to his son, and Rick says he needs to take care of Randall first? The same Randall that he's been keeping prisoner because he doesn't have the balls to kill him? I flipped. Shane was right on, I thought it was a great scene.
Payne, that's a good theory and makes some sense. If that was the case, do you think Shane knew he was infected and kind of wanted Rick to kill him? My theory is that something went airborne a bit after this all started, and now everyone is somewhat infected so when they die, no matter what the reason (save for massive head trauma), they'll come back as zombies. I don't think this could've always been the case, because we saw all those dead people in their cars at the beginning of the season. The only way around that would be that they all sat in their cars with the windows rolled up because they were surrounded, and slowly boiled their brains. There were no visible head wounds on any of those people.
My biggest problem with the show is Lori (and Carl to a lesser extent). She egged on the rift between Shane and Rick, telling Rick he was crazy and dangerous, then telling Shane that she was sorry and that he was a hero. I feel like her actions towards Shane would make a lot of people start to go crazy. Then a few episodes back, when she begged Rick not to go for Herschel, then with nothing changing all of a sudden decides to go herself? What the FUCK was that? How did she possibly think she would help? She guilts Rick for not considering abandoning her and Carl, and then she also leaves Carl? I knew it was going to end badly, but I never expected her to flip her car within the first two minutes of leaving the farm. I seriously LOLed at that. I still don't understand how she even managed to flip her car.
Shane and Darryl are by far my favorite characters of the show so far, and if they get rid of Darryl I don't think I can keep watching. When there is action it's great, when there's true conflict it's great, but there's just so much in between that drives me crazy.
