I just watched Marley and Me. Holy freaking crap was that a sad movie. I cried like crazy. I'm not sure if that qualifies the loss a man card but if so they can have them. But I'm glad I watched it alone and not in a theatre or with a date.
If you haven't seen the movie. Go freaking see it. That is all

a man crying about a dog does not constitute removal of ones man card, unless that dog weighs less than thirty pounds full grown.
Thinking of all the dogs i've lost brings tears to my eyes, its not fair that something so loyal should only share 1/10th of your life. |

I was watching it with my dog too and I about squeezed him to death. They also kept egging the pain on. Just when you thought it was over they kept on going. And even after the death they still went on with the letters and necklace and basically I removed all fluids from my body. OH. CAN SOMEONE EDIT IN SPOILER IN THE TITLE. I FORGOT TO.

My mom wanted me to go see it with her a while back and I just told her I wouldn't because I already knew how it would end. Oddly enough she called today to let me know it wasn't half a fun as the ads made it seem.
I can watch a ton of movies without being emotional but sweet god if you put a loyal pet in it that just hits home. Quote:

I don't know if this qualifies as a spoiler thread since its kinda like saying that the titanic sinks at the end. Anyway, I would agree that a man crying over the loss of a dog does NOT mean his "man card" is revoked although it is a bit sketchy when it is not the card carriers dog. I did get a bit choked up and my dogs received extra attention when I got home. I also feel it isn't fair that a dog only gets to share 1/10th of our lives with us however, that does give us more of and opportunity to share our lives with multiple dogs. Also while painful as hell humans are more capable of carrying on after our dogs pass away. I know of several and have heard of even more cases where the dogs owner dies and the dog simply doesn't know how to carry on with out them and shortly after dies. All that being said its a sad movie but as usual the book is even better! I don't encourage reading very often because it takes time away from riding, but those of us not blessed with all year riding climates have to do something in the winter. So if you find yourself bored thumb through the book its even better than the movie.

I watched it the other night too. I teared up. My dog looks EXACTLY like marley and I couldn't stop thinking about her and when we'll have to put her down. I thought the worst was over, then the kids read their letters. God damn.

I had a dog like that as a kid. In life you'd never know he and my Papa were best buds, but when Papa went to the hospital that dog refused to leave the chair they always sat in, and after he came home to pass, that dog never left his side. I wont be seeing Marley tho, even reading about him dying gets me, so I'll pass. I may have to be committed when my dog Abby moves on... |
