Lazarus 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Must admit that the end of 'field of dreams' when costner meets his dad and asks him if he wants to play catch is the one for me. Basically reminds me of my parents divorce and the times that me and me dad didnt spend together. 178855[/snapback] Reading that has set me off 178859[/snapback] I hate thinking about my mam and dad's divorce like. My dad never wanted them to get divorced and I remember going into the kitchen after they'd had a screaming row once and seeing my dad sitting there by himself looking down at the kitchen table just fiddling with a ringpull in his hands. I felt absolutely gutted for him cos I knew he must have been thinking "This is it. No more marriage. No more living with my kids". I just got something out the fridge and left the room and I've felt a bit guilty about not saying something ever since. 178868[/snapback] Have you spoke about it since? I'm sure he'd understand anyway. You were a bairn (presumably) and what do you say in a situation like that anyway? 178878[/snapback] Anyway! How come Gemmill gets all the sympathy? Iz it cos I iz not a ginge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't cry, i get angry. Noticed I've became a little more soft hearted since the bairns were born. The scene in crash where the spic kid's daughter is in his arms when that asylum seeking shop owner shoots had me shitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Never cry at films really, although my mother always used to mention to new girlfriends that when I was 6 I cried at Lassie when she got stuck in a burning cabin becuase my dad was making jokes about 'hot dogs' and whathaveyou. Never cried at the match exdept on one occasion, the first game without my dad and the lads came out on the pitch. Felt the lump in my throat, the lads around me all put there arms on my shoulders in a sort of 'we know this is hard kidda' sort of way and that was it...I was away.

BlueStar 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Never cried at a film till I was 24 or 25, since then...loads. 178800[/snapback] Another sufferer of Inappropriate male crying syndrome. Its fucking ridiculous some of the things that set you off as you get older 178804[/snapback] I suffer from innapropriate male laughing syndrome.

I see you've revealed nothing so far in this thread for fear of ridicule. 179627[/snapback] Are you joking, man? Roy Keane personally comes around and squeaks us to death if he hears we've shown any emotions other than hate and anger. I'd say I think the English are soft (stiff upper lip quivering tbh), but then I think most blokes today are a bit fucked like that, nothing wrong with crying, but not for an "emotional porn" flick as some have mentioned on here! The last time I was close at a movie was The Pianist, the scene where he gets saved from the train and his family is pulling away, the same bit in the book got me. I actually tried to draw it out reading the book but couldn't, it's been that long I think I'm broken. The stupid thing is I'll be ridiculed on here for not being soft as shite. I've nothing to cry about, and I'm not going to bother until I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly would have said the Irish were the more weepy types (you lot write poems and appreciate the countryside and stuff). Maybe that's why they made you move to France??

And their behavior around women is cringeworthy. French men are basically mothered teenagers, they don't grow up. I have to say if you want to talk stereotypes the old Irish one is that blokes never cry, similar to the English one, but the reality today is a long way from that. Ironically, for someone who is Ireland's harshest critics I seem to have ended up as a fucking old fashioned stereotype, never saw it coming, not terribly amused by it.
