Emotions? What magic be this?

[AbstractJuggler]

So, after a reasonably long delay, I decided to watch Toy Story 3. Now, I'm not one to be emotional or cry at films and the such like, but there was just something about it that brought me close to doing so (I did grow up with those films, so it wasn't as if it was a grown man in tears over CG toys). After having sufficiently manned up by punching fire and eating dumbbells, I got to thinking about how something like that could have made me that emotional. So I pose this question to you, fellow Escapees; Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Wait, no... What I mean is; Have any of you become so unexpectedly worked up about something before? No feelings in particular, just if anything made you mad, sad, excited, etc. that you didn't expect to.

I just watched the new Harry Potter movie yesterday. I liked it but it made me feel a little sad.

Hotel Rwanda had me legitimately horrified. And I knew what was coming.

Keeping with the issues in Africa theme, a latter part in The Last King of Scotland had me squirming in disgust.

Listening to Passacglia & Fugue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F51uHpH3yQk] (BWV 582) made me angry and then happy. Which is weird because the piece while serious, does not have any direct emotional inflection.
Definitely not famous enough even though it's just as dark and growly as Toccata & Fugue.

Kanye West's diamond teeth. He's hardly the first musician to spend loads of money on something flashy and stupid; there's a whole subculture of rich people buying expensive pointless bullshit. When I hear about something like that, I usually just sigh and move on.

But something about those gaudy monstrosities fills me with hate. I... I just... I hate them! So damn much!

Oh, and I mentioned this in another thread a short time ago, but I shed a couple of tears during Bridge to Terabithia. If you're stupid enough to have seen it, you should know the part.

That is a terrible movie, that does not deserve that level of emotional response, and I am ashamed of giving it such a display.

The new Harry Potter kind of got to me, as did Toy Story 3, and anything about the West Memphis Three really pisses me off.

It seems entirely random, and I know I'm not the only one to do this, but I'm the only one I know who gets it so severely. When a really good story, series, etc. ends, I tend to get really sad about it. To the point that the fufillment of seeing a good ending to a good story is slightly overridden because of how sad I am I won't be able to learn of the characters anymore.

Like I said, it seems random where and when this happens. I've gotten sad over some series ending that I only kinda liked, and not sad at all over some that I absolutely adored ending.

Whenever I see a woman cry it makes me really sad, so I've started to make fun of them a while back to cope with this.

It happens to all of us man. Certain things hit us. music especially gets me. Rainbow Eyes by Rainbow with Dio singing. That song has made me shed many a manly tears. and No More Mr. Nice Guy by Alice Cooper, that song makes me feel like i'm king of the world. For some reason the Muppets really get me worked up, (only real men like the Muppets) cause they bring me back to my days as a little kid.

the end of david tennant in doctor who. It was so weird, but knowing the doctor even if it was just one human it was something he and he alone needed to do. A new man, a new story, same good ol' doctor, right tardis.
