It's OK that you are extroverted.  I think Irene is a little that way and you use a pic of her as your avatar. Besides, we need to have at least a few extroverts on here for good measure.

[jesskayding]

Yeah... You know I've revived threads that were long forgotten about & am trying to make Live chat worth Tims labor. And I feel I've contributed to people being more personable on the forum, yes?

[Carol the Dabbler]

You certainly know how to shake things up! 

 

[jesskayding]

I do don't I? You're so onto me Carol. I've seemed to depress people with the talk of killing off a main character. I personally find the whole idea to be fun. Like writing a part in the script that would shock the tar out of viewers & make them gasp or cry or nearly go into a panic attack.

 

I myself like to be made to cry, to experience sadness while watching a drama. I think its good for the soul.

I wrote a 50K word novel last year where I had my male main character caught by a fanatical anti-religion antagonist group and some of their members dragged him, by his feet, out of the back seat of the SUV at the beach and hit his head against the side of the car frame without any remorse or care.  Then they tied him to a stake in a tidal pool & forgot about him until after the tide had reached where they were at the beach several yards away and further from the shore line than he was.  Technically he should have died then, but I wasn't ready to kill him off so of course he escapes inexplicably (aat lest from the antagonist view point as the reader knows how it happens) and swims to the dockyard because he escapes early in the tide rising as the antagonists are well into their revelry & not paying attention to their "honored guest" they wanted to take out.

Me too, but I strongly suspect it takes a lot less to make me cry than you. And I hate major character deaths. (In general. There are some exceptions).

 

I also really, really hate sad endings. It doesn't all have to be perfect and hearts and flowers at the end of a story, but it has to be some kind of okay. It can be melancholy okay. Just as long as it's okay. That's what I turn to fiction for! If I want unpredictable, senseless, unfair unhappiness, there's real life, which I'm stuck with anyway.

 

I don't read or watch films to be shocked. I'm not a thrill seeker, in reality or in fiction. I'm a pretty sensitive, thin skinned, wired, neurotic person, I really don't need additional cause for excitement, I need to be calmed down. The upside of this is that I am never bored.

 

There's extrovert versus introvert for you!

Hey, are you describing you, or me? Cuz that sure sounds like me! Except for the crying part, I almost never cry, for some reason. Used to. But yeah, I have to keep things on an even keel or I'm a mess.

Well don't watch Brave Heart and stay far far away from the movie Arlington Road.

[jesskayding]

Y'all must have been a mess when Mufassa died in the Lion King. His death was necessary to mature Simba. I say Molly, Anderson & Donavon's death would be a huge benefit to the show. Give more time & background on characters like John & Mrs. Hudson instead of dealing with the unnecessary distractions provided by those characters.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

I was OK with the Lion King...not so much Bambi (but I was young) & it took ages with Frodo leaving Middle Earth.  It didn't help that his smile looked almost sinister as his friends were in shock & crying.

[Arcadia]

I didn't like Braveheart, but not for the reasons you might think. That's the movie where I thought Mel Gibson had finally started to take his own PR a little too seriously, I pretty much stopped going to his films after that. Arlington Road didn't make much of an impression, I seem to remember it had a rather ridiculous ending? Good cast, though.

[jesskayding]

Most hated the ending because it wasn't typical. I loved it because the good guys don't always win.

[Arcadia]

Ohhhh, poor Bambi, I think I was about 6 when I first saw it... :cry: :cry:

[jesskayding]

Didn't Bambi live? It was his mamma that died right?

[T.o.b.y]

Yup, Bambi's mom was shot.

 

I never cried much over Disney films, actually. When I was little, I thought they were creepy. Now I do see the charm in some of the older ones, and I appreciate the music, but they don't really touch me on any deeper level.

 

As for Mufasa's death, yeah, that was sad, but I don't care for Simba at all (obnoxious brat), so... Actually, in The Lion King, my favorite is Scar.

I was near that age too. Maybe a little older.  Fell asleep for a little bit then woke up as Bambi's mom dies & the forest starts on fire.  Not exactly a good thing to do to a child.

Well, he's the only interesting one. And he's funny, and has a British accent.

 

There is something that bothers me about Disney films, but I can't quite put my finger on it. All I know is that when it comes to animated movies for kids featuring talking animals, I'd much rather watch a Ghibli production. I'm not much into Japanimation in general, but their films are often very good.

 

Now, I wonder what part of my MB type explains all that...

Disney cartoons for the most part don't have a mother (Toy Story was the first with a mom that I can think of where the mom didn't die) and Jeremy Irons was the voice for Scar so of course we have a great British accent by a guy who knows how to play baddies.

I sometimes enjoy sad parts in a movie, but it depends very much on why / how it's sad. I really hate it when something bad happens for no apparent (dramatic) reason other than to be sad. For me, it has to fit into the story, and lead to some sort of satisfying resolution (not necessarily happy happy, but good in some sense).

 

Disney cartoons for the most part don't have a mother (Toy Story was the first with a mom that I can think of where the mom didn't die) ....

Something like Conan Doyle stories in that regard?

 

I mean, did you ever notice how many of the original Holmes stories feature widowed fathers and stepfathers?

What I have read so far, there are quite a few.  With Walt Disney, apparently, it was his way of dealing with the death of his mom because of an unforeseen, unexpected accident at the home he bought for his parents.

[T.o.b.y]

No, I never did notice. Funny. I guess I just expect a lot of men in Victorian novels to be widowed or married for the second or third time, because back then, death during childbirth was quite common.
