I didn't feel as sad as I wanted to feel
This is my primary reaction to Brokeback Mountain, which I saw tonight with the Julie Wonka. It'd been built up too much, I guess, and while the final scene was touching, I didn't cry even though throughout the entire movie I was waiting for the tears to well up.
I wanted to cry. It feels so good to get a cathartic cry at the movies. But my expectations were too high this time.
That makes me sad.

The woman sitting behind us when we went said the same thing. I remember long ago my sister and I going to see The Yearling, which is a really really sad movie, but not crying, for two reasons: One, my father insisted we take handkerchiefs, because he was sure we would cry; and B, the kid behind us kept saying stupid things.
Just wait for the next round of PMS, when you cry over the McDonald's commercials. Oh wait, that's me.
