Well, blork and Martine flitted off to the City by the Bay and left us Monkeys wondering when and if the April edition would be. They are now safely returned, the Monkey is in, and all’s right with the world.
This month’s Monkey is confessions of movie-induced crying.
Well, with the (possible) exception of Airplane, just about every movie I’ve ever seen has reduced me to tears. This is not an indication of the type of movie I see, rather, it’s a pretty telling indication of my inability to control the waterworks. Depending on hormone levels, just about anything can make me weepy.
Love Story? Cried.
Star Wars? Cried.
Adam Bede? Cried.
‘Candle in the Wind’? Cried.
The toilet paper commercial with the puppy who keeps bonking his head? Cried.
I have no shame, really.
Of course, generally speaking we’re talking about a tear or two, all very dignified, at least ’til I get to the nose-blowing. But the one movie that reduced me to a blubbering mess – loud sobbing, quivering, total basket-case – was….
Terms of Endearment.
There.
I said it.
Now leave me alone.
Sniff.
The toilet paper commercial with the puppy who keeps bonking his head?!?
Wow… I’m impressed!
The dogfood commercial that starts with the puppy and little girl at the bottom of the stairs and ends with the old dog (climbing the stairs with some effort) and young woman at the top always makes me cry. Poor old Casey, sniff, sniff! Of course, I’m also mad at the stupid woman for not carrying her poor old dog up the stairs.
Wow. You people are weird!

You’re probably a secret puppy-kicker 😉
I’m asking myself: How can it be that I’ve never ran through your site before? It’s a great one!
Great post! I’m looking forward for more.
