While I loved the hell out of Toy Story 3, they had an opportunity to make it end on an incredibly brutal and down note, and didn't take it. They should have. It would've been the greatest shock ever.
The fact that they dwelled on that scene for so long actually made me think that they were going to end it like that. When I came to that conclusion, I started bawling uncontrollably. In the theatre. At a midnight showing.
I cried a lot at that scene too, even though I only half believed that they were going to die. The thing is, I really like the message of the end, the continuation of the cycle, and the acceptance of adulthood and growing up. This actually made me cry more, in an even better way.

Ayup.
Honestly, same here. I was starting to tear up near the end there.

Pete, Moe, and I watched it, and when we hit this scene the whole room broke out in sniffles. There was much passing of the tissues. It really is that last scene where he says she has to take really good care of them because they're special... Augh, I cried all the tears.

It would have failed with that ending. Andy could not move onto college without letting go of his childhood, and so when his toys are taken from him he panics and almost regresses. He spends his time searching for them instead of preparing for the next stage of his life. The act of giving the toys away, especially Woody, allows him some closure of that chapter of his life.
The saddest aspect of the toys "dying" is that Andy would not get that closure. If the toys are symbolic representations of Andy's childhood having them burned "alive" is akin to crushing someone's childhood before they're ready; and probably placing them into therapy for a decent part of their adult life. It's something we all have to do or will have to do. It might not be giving up ones toys, I never will, but it's accepting responsibility that unfortunately comes with adulthood.
Everytime I end up on an atheist YouTube video, I end up spending half an hour clicking through related videos. I post comments on about half. I am a terrible human being.
How about train wrecks, you like watching those too?
Its no shame to watch Toddlers & Tiaras if you are watching it as a horror show. However if you are watching them as soft core porn then you should be ashamed...And kill yourself.

e_e I think I like to watch it for the same reason I like watching the hoarders and housewives (used to) and whatnot reality shows - it makes me feel better about my life.
Nor have I. Not ashamed of it though. I think its okay because I've seen all of Princess Tutu and keep acting like I'll finish CCS. You only need to see one magical girl show. Things on top of that are just if you want to.
I look a tiny bit like Benedict Cumberbatch. Enough that people comment on it, at least. One time, I looked up fan art from the TV show Sherlock and pretended someone was making a bunch of fan art of me. The Sherlock X Watson stuff got somewhat confusing, however...
Also, another shame: Also, another shame. Thinking about it, even though I self-identify as a huge video game geek, the list of video games I've actually beaten is really quite small. I've played tons and tons of games, but I just have this glut of options that really keeps me from focusing on one thing at a time. Also, most of the games I spend hours and hours on aren't games that can be beaten in the traditional sense; sure, there's the main quests in Fallout and TES, but I'm almost always distracted by side quests and exploring, and in Minecraft and BFBC2, there's no real "end" to work towards. Hell, even most of my retro gaming up until this past summer was of the "just a taste" variety-- I'd start a game of, say, SMRPG, play it a bit, get distracted by another game, and move on.
I'm thinking of making a huge list of all the games I want to beat, retro and modern, and just playing them in order, with Skyrim and Arkham City at the end of the list as a reward.
I never finsihed Wind Waker. I got up to the triforce hunt and gave up. I constantly think about it too. I really wanted to finish that game. I'm too scared to go back now, of being overwhelmed!

This thread is a lie, any shame posted in it automatically becomes a public shame, or is not in fact a shame at all.
A secret can be shared, and still remain a secret. As long as you are purposefully hiding it from someone, it's still a secret. Examples of non-forumites you might want to hide things from include parents, lovers, friends, co-workers, bosses and others.
Besides that, it was a secret until it was posted in this thread. This is a place to make secret shames (more) public, not a gathering place for secrets.

Toddlers & Tiaras. >_

And role play set in that universe.
And thus ship Vinyl Scratch/Octavia.

I take things to seriously sometimes.
