Poll: Crying at movies? Acceptable?

[Nerf Ninja]

I was a real hard nut in my youth, never cried at anything not even close family members funerals. Then I had something of a breakdown in my mid twenties. (Attempted suicide and all the fun that entails) It tripped some kind of switch in me as these days I regularly well up at anything that has even a slight hint of being emotional. It can get bloody annoying when I'm with other people as I'm trying so hard not to cry it makes me ill, but when I'm alone I regularly have to mop my face.

I remember the first time it happened to me. I was watching "The Defiant Ones" on tv and It came to an emotional scene between Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis I had to very quickly run to the toilet, I was in there for a good half an hour crying for a lifetime.

To be honest as much as it annoys me I'm a little happier with the person I am now that I can cry.

Still haven't been able to watch "The Defiant Ones" since though.

I cried during old yeller when i was young. Not sinse then, and I don't really care what you do in the privacy of your own home, but crying in a theatre is fucking obnoxious.

if you're AT THE MOVIES, then you should try to hold it in, or at least not sob or wail
if you're at home then you're fine either way.

I don't really mind it so much, hearing other people having such an emotional reaction to the film adds to the experience I think. I don't think people should be forced to keep their feelings to themselves or be forbidden from conveying any kind emotional reaction. I mean you wouldn't complain about people laughing at a funny scene would you? And surely thats going to be far louder and distracting than someone ahving a cry. Plus these are largely involuntary reactions, people can't really help it most of the time.
