In light of that movie, I'm not adding these movies to the poll.

The Virgin Suicides,
The Dead Girl,
Stop-Loss,
The Hurt Locker,

or any other films that people point out as being overly depressing. I don't think I can handle two movies like that in a row.

In re: Boys Don't Cry:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I related to a lot of it. The plot was fairly close to the actual events as they happened. Also the legalities weren't too far off (Capias or "Bench" Arrest Warrant issued for not appearing at trial, etc). It also pretty accurately depicted how many people viewed transsexuals circa the 1990s. Unfortunate, naturally, but accurate.

Hillary Swank did a pretty good job overall. Transsexualism has numerous odd parts to it and she portrayed some of them pretty well overall: the cover/living a lie, the aversion to... [ahem] your own body and sometimes intimate relations, the oddness of explaining the situation to a romantic partner, the desire not to be called or considered by your birth sex which sometimes isn't expressed reasonably (because it can't be in society, though some would say "couldn't be" as in past tense I disagree).

Downer ending, as an understatement. I held out about 6% hope which slowly dwindled the more we saw... until the end there. Meh . I am jaded; this is exhibit A, as stated in chat.

I sorta had to be detached through it.

I am all for a happier movie next time. Good company, that's the main thing. Thank you for having me.
