"When I cry during a movie or my “floodgates open”, it’s usually not a good thing. I don’t think i’ve actually cried out of joy. When I cry during a movie, it leaves me in a funk. La Strada and Tokyo Story, as much as I love them, are two that just didn’t progress my day in any positive way. I watched my pet die in the palm of my friggin hand immediately after seeing Tokyo Story (he was a mouse, but a damn fine friend). Maybe it was Cinema Paradiso that had a positive injection, but when the credits rolled there I sat once again, alone in the dark."
