Another one that I saw recently that got me all emotional: Life of Pi. I will never watch it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374163 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:36:33 +0000 hellobeeboston 1374163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: LOL - hilarious... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374142 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:28:55 +0000 JoJoGirl 1374142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: OMG. THANK YOU. I really felt insane. Poor guy was so sad!!! He just wanted to go home to his window. Totally. I'd feel the same way about daycare except there aren't 7 other fun kids at home, so I'm pretty sure LO feels that way when she's home with me after LEAVING daycare ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374113 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:19:05 +0000 hellobeeboston 1374113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: omg - I am just seeing this thread. We turned this on last night and were talking about this movie and relating it to how our son could feel at daycare! Does he draw a circle window on the wall and mourn for his home?!? Wahhh.</p> <p>We had to turn it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374054 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:59:36 +0000 meganmp 1374054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Oh my god, YES.</p> <p>For me, it's all of the P&amp;G ads during the Olympics. I can't handle it.</p> <p>Side note- I read something somewhere that instead of sending criminals to jail, they should stick them in a room and make them watch the Sarah McLaughlin Sad Puppy commercials for an entire day. They'd never commit a crime again. Made me giggle, because DH knows whenever those commercials come on because I start yelling and frantically searching for the remote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374037 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:54:32 +0000 Mrs. Train 1374037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: oh my god I teared up just reading your description of that comercial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374032 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:51:10 +0000 LovelyPlum 1374032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: yeah... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1374001 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:45:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 1374001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: @LovelyPlum: Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373984 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:41:46 +0000 rachiecakes 1373984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I never get to see movies anymore but last weekend I went out with a single/no kids friend to see Wolf of Wall Street.<br /> There's a scene that involves a child in danger and I lost my s- right there, sobbing, tears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373887 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:20:21 +0000 LovelyPlum 1373887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a crazy person who has a hard time separating TV from reality, so anytime there is a sad commercial on, I have to leave the room. I also almost always refuse to watch TV shows or movies that my husband hasn't seen yet, so he can tell me if I will get upset or not. </p> <p>I have issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373884 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:19:13 +0000 JoJoGirl 1373884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: LOL @ "And then I bawl".

I mean, I started crying just telling my dad about it! Why does Cheerios need to make me cry in order for me to buy their product? Not ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373801 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:49:57 +0000 lilyann 1373801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Right when you typed "Cheerio's commercial" I knew exactly which one you were talking about and I started to tear up! Such a bittersweet commercial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373799 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:47:57 +0000 littlebug 1373799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: @JoJoGirl: @lilyann: That commercial is awful. But the one that wrecks me every time is the Cheerio's commercial where the mom is telling the little boy that her mom used to give her Cheerios and then the little boy says, "So when we're eating Cheerios, it's like we're having breakfast with Gramma" and then Mom sighs and says yes. And then I bawl. </p> <p>I am just an emotional person by nature, and being pregnant and then having a baby has just made me a hundred times moreso. I cry at total nonsense. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I'm CERTAIN it's happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373796 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:46:31 +0000 Mrs. Train 1373796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am overly emotional about everything.

I am WAY more emotional now that I'm a mom. The craziest things upset me because I totally picture Xander in the situations or me in the situations and I just can't handle it!!! Anything sad involving children or parents and I'm a wreck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373766 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:37:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 1373766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Well advertisers do it on purpose! Emotional reaction first -&gt; product so you associate the two. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373762 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:36:09 +0000 Bookish 1373762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: @JoJoGirl: oh thank god I'm not the only one. I literally yelled at my TV yesterday about what horrible people the advertisers were for making me feel that bad! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373749 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:33:06 +0000 JoJoGirl 1373749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Okay thank you.

She watched it a week later and said she realized why I was so upset. But it really is a bit overly emotional on my part, I admit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373741 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:29:04 +0000 cmomma17 1373741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I thought that movie was so sad :( DH loves it and will watch it more than once but I refuse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373737 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:27:44 +0000 lilyann 1373737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: That commercial KILLS me :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373736 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:27:00 +0000 JoJoGirl 1373736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Hahahh I've seen that commercial a half dozen times. Totally get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373731 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:26:06 +0000 Bookish 1373731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. I haven't seen that movie, but last night we were watching TV and a new Subaru commercial came on, and essentially it's shows a completely wrecked car and everyone marveling about how they lived. But I *lost it*. Like, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. GAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/totally-irrational-emotional-reaction-to-a-movie#post-1373721 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 13:22:45 +0000 JoJoGirl 1373721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I'm not even pregnant!!!</p> <p>This is insanely ridiculous. I was watching "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" last night (the new one) and there's a scene where James Franco comes to get Caesar out of the sanctuary and can't... so Caesar draws a picture on the wall of his window at home and puts his face up against it to pretend he's there.</p> <p>I WAS SAD FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT!!!!!!</p> <p>I think I'm just projecting LO onto this stupid movie and imagining her being separated from us and feeling that sad. Gah. WTF?</p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one with a total emotional overreaction to a movie that makes no sense! </p>
