🧐 Courage check, me hearties:
What's the last movie / TV show you cried at?
Gonna be Godzilla Minus One for me. Sobbed like a weirdo at that freaking parachute.
What's it for you?
@MLClark "What's the last movie / TV show you cried at?"
Funny you ask. I was sobbing on the sofa yesterday watching an episode of the original BSG, "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II." They find Kobol (which suspiciously looks like Egypt).
Just as I did 45 years ago, I sobbed because <redacted> got killed, leaving <redacted> and <redacted>.
<redcated> was killed a different way in the pilot movie, but it was edited out.
BSG 1.0 was unique for its time in that it allowed men to cry.
@MLClark The DVD had unused footage. One was generic filming of Muffit the robot daggit, which was actually Evie the chimp inside a dog suit.
At the end of the scene, Muffit waddles away, leaving a pile of screws, bolts, and washers. Someone off-screen says, "The daggit s*** on the carpet!" Lots of laughs in the background.
Ron Moore said there was no way he was going to put a daggit in BSG 2.0.
@WordsmithFL
Kirk got pretty weepy when Spock might have been lost to the caves in "The Devil in the Dark"! There was a *lot* more effusive male emotion in other eras. Then things got weirdly stifled for a decade or three.
