One more reason I will never have children...

[jianantonic]

Z and I just watched Toy Story 3 on Netflix.  That movie fucked me up.  Big time.  It was hard for me to watch from the start because the perspective of the toys is so sad.  I know, I know, it's an animated kids' film, but fuck.  I was so stressed and sad for them the whole time.  Writing about this makes me feel really silly.  But I can't fucking stop crying about this movie.  Even though the ending was "happy," there's still a really momentous and sad goodbye at the end and it just devastates me.

I could never take a child to a movie like this -- they'd be having a great time and Mommy would be crying her eyes out and too hysterical to drive home.  

I had a very similar reaction to the movie Drop Dead Fred (I know how ridiculous admitting this makes me look) when I was 10.  

My meds have really helped reduce my super emotional reactions to lighthearted fictional movies, but Prozac was no match for this one.

Ahhh I've seen that movie twice and I broke down and cried so much both times. Such a great movie though.

I heard it and Up were both tearjerkers, and I refuse to watch them.

I like my movies to not induce emotional fits. Not to mention I already have enough problems personifying inanimate objects.

I cried like that for Up.
