For instance, the new paradigm of the sensitive man aside, breaking down during "The English Patient" is more likely to do you harm than good

You know, I have cried at movies - when Spock died in THE WRATH OF KHAN for instance - but THE ENGLISH PATIENT? C'mon! The most over-rated flick of the last twenty years!

As for the rest, yes, legs and tush! And if she can handle a Sig with authority and is more conservative politically than me, so much the better.

The last movie I remember crying in was when they had to put old Yeller down. I mighta cried in Steel Magnolias if I hadn't been sawing logs. ;o)

"- but THE ENGLISH PATIENT? C'mon! The most over-rated flick of the last twenty years!"

Ex-cuse me for my lack of "sensitivity", but I generally try to avoid movies about various sick people or people with extreme medical conditions that make "inspiring" recoveries and overcome great odds, etc. I'm a wuss when it comes to sick people.

I also don't like and won't go to see movies about boxing, or most sports unless they're funny. And forget prison movies unless they're about wild women with clevage and popping blouse buttons or Linda Blair, unfairly imprisoned and barebreasted in a bathtub in the slammer. That's "socially redeeming" to me.

You, sir, are a great man. (And I saying that full well knowing I ain't getting your Bud.)

Yeah, a real man can cry over Platoon or Glory.

That IS allowed.

Crying over Fried Green Tomatoes or Steel Magnolias? You get your man pass revoked.
