So Good, I Cried

*insert soft melody*

 I had a customer the other night that was looking for a particular title. Since she was in the book department I assumed she wanted the book. She was looking for the DVD though. No big, I can look both up. I've had no desire to this particular movie because it's sad. I don't do sad. My customer says "It was so good, I cried."

*insert abrupt end of music co-insiding with a record scratch*

 Er, "so good, I cried?" That sounds like an oxymoron to me. I don't like to cry so how can anyone ever say something is good and that they cried.

"Oh! She said, but it has a happily ever after." I'm a little leary of this movie/book. Ok, all girls need to cry sometimes, just to get it out," she says. "The next time you need to cry and just get it all out, rent this movie."

Er. I don't forsee that anytime soon, but sure. If the time comes that I need a reason to cry (rolling my eyes here) I'm going to rent this movie.

So what's your take on "So good, I cried"? Do you like those chick-flick movies that make you weep tears of sorrow and joy? Do you like a good cry? Does it not leave you with a pounding headache like it does me?

Loove to cry happy tears!
Akward enough, I even like the sad ones, as long as it is because of a book or movie.

Crying doesn't always equal sadness. We saw "Letters to God" last week and I cried myself silly (and I'm man enough to admit it!). But I wouldn't call it a sad story at all, but rather very emotional and exceptionally uplifting. Not sure about the PS I Love You; although I think I probably saw that one I haven't the foggiest what it was about. Anyways, I dislike tragedies but don't mind emotional, uplifting, tear-jerkers now and then.

Britt, I suppose you're right. Book tears are better than "my life is crap" tears.

Just me, I tend to get headaches when I full out cry.

Uncle Joe, that's a great excuse.
