There, there

My two older brothers were/are Hobbit nerds.
Until googling, I had no idea who you're talking about.
Am I more, or less of a nerd- than you, my brothers or Boromir?

That scene is intense. Boromir takes, like, 6 to chest and is still standing.

I understand, man.

Yeah, it is a bummer.

I felt the same when Leonidas was killed.

My problem with the re-release of movies onto Blu-Ray is that they never really look quite... right, you know? I'd rather watch it on DVD. YMMV.

I still think Heroin Bob dying in SLC Punk was one of the saddest moments on film to me

Also... to take dork-dom to another level... i think the anime 'Grave of the Fireflies' MIGHT be the saddest movie i have ever seen...

Those movies are full of intense moments.

The very end of the third one reduces me to a blubbering ball of sobs.

My man card is long since gone, so don't even ask.

+1 to the Leonidas comment, too.
