Well, I was thinking about slipping a copy of "The Thing" in there. The newer version. Some humorous relief might be in order there. After all, it's a basically movie about a dog, right?
Yeah, that's a really sad ending to that movie. One that really hit me when I was younger was "Awakenings" with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro. I don't even remember what it was that got me, but it was the first movie ever to jerk my tears, so to speak.
