8. I had forgotten that
I had that as a sig line for the longest time. God, what is it with people, some people play games like Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, etc, and they become war hawks, no sense to me, none, seeing that poor bastard stuck in the tree in frontline god.

20. Band of Brothers was beautiful
God that scene in the church, and Carwood is talking about all the guys who have come and gone, war is such a tragic thing, it enables us to meet people who are closer to us than family often yet we never know if we will see them the next day, it is just tragic.

15. i bet you cry when you read my post
{Scar throws his brother backwards. Mufasa free-falls, back first. The camera follows Mufasa down from under him, then from above him, showing the stampede raging below.}

Mufasa: Aaaaaaahh!

{Camera suddenly focuses in on Simba, who is watching his father hit the ground. No sound effects of the hit. No view of it either. Mufasa and Simba's screams mingle.}

Simba: Nooooooo!

{The herd passes. Everything is clouded by dust. Simba
bounds to the canyon floor. Mufasa is nowhere to be seen.}

Simba: {Cough} Dad!!

{We hear a sound}

Simba: {Quietly} Dad?

{We see a stray wildebeest run past, the source of the sound. The wildebeest curves around a log further down the gully. Under the log is Mufasa, laying on his side. He is not moving or breathing. Simba approaches the body. Sad musical theme. Again we notice how small Simba really is.}

Simba: {Hopefully}
Dad? ...Dad, come on.
{He rubs up against Mufasa's cheek. The head merely rolls back in place after the rub}
You gotta get up.
{He places both forepaws on his father's cheek and pushes}
Dad. We gotta go home.
{He tugs at Mufasa's ear. Again the head limply moves
back in place. Simba runs off a bit, obviously very scared.}
HEEEEELP! Somebody!
{His voice reverberates hollowly off the sides of the gorge.}
Anybody... help.

{He cries. Simba turns back to the body. He nuzzles up under
the limp paw so that his father is embracing him. Pause for effect.}

17. I don't cry easily but I do choke up easily
Yeah that is thought provoking and just sad. I am also simply moved by good, regular people who do things to help others, its just a beautiful thing.

Old James Ryan: Tell me I've led a good life.

Old James Ryan: Tell me I'm a good man.
Ryan's Wife: You *are*.
That movie was so moving.
