Looking to Shed Some Cathartic Tears? Here Ya Go!

Thanks a lot, EW(.com). Thanks a lot, for making me cry.

Seriously, why would they subject the world to this list of 20 tearjerking kids' flicks if they explicitly put in the title of the slideshow that it will make you cry?

The list is as follows (I'm bolding the ones I've seen):

Bambi
The Iron Giant
Dumbo
Old Yeller
- Though It's been a while
Annie
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Watership Down
- Though I've read the book
The NeverEnding Story
Man in the Moon
The Lion King
- One of my favorite movies of all time. Scratch that, one of the best movies period of all time.
Wall-E
The Black Stallion
- Again, it's been a while.
My Dog Skip
Born Free
- Again, I've read the book.
Charlotte's Web
Babe
A Little Princess
Fly Away Home
- I think I've seen the whole thing.
Milo and Otis
The Fox and the Hound

The Wonderful World Of Child Actors

Ah, child actors. What a complicated life you lead. You come in so many shapes and sizes — adorable, creepy, great talent, vacant, burnout, promising starlet, and any combination thereof. You could go the Lindsay Lohan route, and go from talented promising young actor to the sadly expressionless, voice-of-a-50-year-old-smoker young woman she is today. You could go the Jackie Earle Haley route and be promising before burning out in 1993, only to come back after 13 years and get an Oscar nomination for his disturbing and sad performance in Little Children.

Two I think (slash hope) will avoid all the crazy downfall stuff are Dakota Fanning and Abigail Breslin. Both are great actresses (who I am kind of jealous of, talent-wise). While watching a bit of Littile Miss Sunshine with Allie, we started surfin' the wild web, and found this delightful send up of serious/not serious child actors from SNL. Enjoy!

Response To The Previous

Just to let y'all know, I wear just leggins and a shirt only when I'm bumming around the room/door or just heading to friends to watch a movie. I know they aren't for social occasions — unless they're under a skirt, and in that case they are very useful, because I wear lots of skirts and in the winter time it is very VERY (I don't care that The Ithacan told us not to use this word) cold and I need additional layers on my legs.

First Post Here: Wish We'd Thought Of That

Anne here, and I will be your resident recycler of EW.com information. First on the list? This pretty well put-together dubbing of the Black Eyed Peas "I Got a Feeling." I don't like the song, but I love this video, probably because it's a long take — I love long takes.



Also what makes this amazing: the little bits that relate to specific lyrics (paint the town!). We could totally do this at Ithaca College.
