April 21, 1998 -- YES!! I finished one of my labs!!!

But what I really want to talk about is movies. I LOVED Lost In Space. It was really cool. I also loved City of Angels but I was SO upset at the end of the movie. I started crying about halfway through the movie, didn't stop until the credits were almost over, got out to my car and was halfway home before I started crying again. That was the single most depressing movie I have ever seen. The reason why cannot be mentioned without ruining the movie for everyone out there. So, for those who don't care or won't be seeing the movie, the reason is at the very very bottom of this page, along with my little rant about how upset I was about this sad thing. That ranks in the three most depressing movies ever, I think.

  • City of Angels
  • My Life
  • Dying Young

Dumbo is no longer one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. City of Angels has bumped it. Grave of the Fireflies has been moved down to number 4. Untamed Heart would have to be number 5. I suppose if I thought about it I could list a dozen or so.

Dumbo?

Yes, Dumbo. Every time I see that scene where Dumbo's mother is in the big cage and she's rocking him with her trunk singing "Baby Mine", I weep openly. It's just so sad. Grave of the Fireflies is an anime movie about WWII from the Japanese side. Two Japanese children are orphaned during the air raids (their mother dies of burns in a makeshift war hospital) and the 13 year-old boy has to raise his 4 year-old sister alone after they leave their bitchy, selfish aunt's house. The little girl ends up starving because they can't get enough food. Her brother dies later on for the same reason, and sorrow. I weep openly for that one too.

Depressing movies are no fun. They make me very very sad. City of Angels was an unbelievable beautiful movie. It was filled with some of the brightest colors I have ever seen. Then it did something very very sad and I started crying a lot. I bought the soundtrack before I saw the movie because I heard two AWESOME songs in the preview, "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette and "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls, andI had to have it. Then I saw the movie, and both songs were played after the very sad thing happened.

I almost burst into tears just listening to the soundtrack. I LOVED those two songs. I had no idea they'd make them so sad in the movie!!! They just sounded beautiful...not really sad. NOW they sound sad.

I could cry for days over this.

If you go past here you'll see the reason! Make sure you don't mind me ruining the ending before you do that! I don't want to be blamed for ruining someone's movie experience. If you go past this point, it's your own damned fault the movie's ending has been ruined for you.

































They killed her! Dr. Maggie Rice, Meg Ryan's character? They killed her! Not one day after Seth (Nicolas Cage's character) fell from heaven and became human, she got run over by a truck and died in his arms!! I could cry forever! It was so beautiful that they were together, they could have ended the movie RIGHT THERE! Right after they woke up the next morning they could have lived happily ever after! But no, they kill her! And that wasn't even the end of it. They showed Nicolas Cage sitting around weeping and sad music played while he walked past all kinds of places they had been together and talked to all their friends. WAAAAAAHHHH!!!! I mean, I guess it made the movie that more powerful, but seriously? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
