I once had a guy stop and ask me to cough again.

I think the best ending would have been right after Gaff's line:
"It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?"
Then cut to black with the driving theme music.
That would be a properly Blade Runner happy ending. Gaff, who had been the threat to Rachel (he obviously knew she was at Deckard's place because of…

I'm in my mid-20s and my mom and I both saw this movie together, which is a big deal because she NEVER. GOES. TO. MOVIES. When this scene came on, we realized at the exact same time that we did not grab enough napkins with our popcorn to stop the tears. Soooo many cries.

Wait, how is Merida the sole heir? She has three younger brothers. She's just the eldest. Am I just confused about how succession worked in feudal societies?

I always thought the ending of Contact was believable and happy. Ellie was vindicated in her discovery, and it ends with a beautifully quiet moment. Her wonder and since of awe about the universe is restored (as well as mine).

I dunno, the box full of kittens finally teaching John Doe the error of his ways and the meaning of friendship always seemed like a cop-out to me. I mean, all the tension that was built up throughout the movie just doesn't come to a head.

GalaxyQuest's ending seemed perfectly earned and believable within the context of its universe. The bad guy is vaporized, they show up for the con, and get their show un-cancelled. That last parts strains credibility a little, though, as I have a hard time believing Hollywood would really revive the series without…

Avatar: The Last Airbender. Definitive hero's journey, and damn was it earned

A few months after the death of a baby my husband and I very much wanted, I found out that a friend had had an abortion. She was terrified to tell me because she thought that I would hate her for killing her child (her words) when I couldn't have mine. Her sister used me as an example of why abortion is evil. I was…

Here is a homework assignment:

And one more...

Had to bring that one up, did you. A real tear-jerker scene.

Roy Batty. And if you don't think he was the hero of Blade Runner, then you weren't paying attention.

Clearly it is Drizzt Do'Urden and he'll tell you why in one of his many many essays.

Name: HAL 9000, from 2001

Need I say more?

Bah. Toy Story 3's impending death scene was nothing compared to Toy Story 2's "When She Loved Me."

We got a dog when I was 10, the shelter had a 24-hour hold policy, so after we picked out "Tinker" we went home and came back the following day. When we arrived an older couple was being told the dog was already adopted, it turned out they had fallen in love with him too just after we finished our paperwork, and…

And throw away years of spinster training? Never!

Just wait until they start menstruating all over the church floor. Then the no underwear rule will magically disappear.
