I get annoyed when I feel that a book or movie or song or email forward is purposely trying to tug on my heartstrings. I guess I'm cold and unfeeling that way.

Well then I am too, because I totally hear you. I hate that too. It brings out my rebellious side and I automatically want to feel the opposite of whatever they want me to feel.

totally true! Almost any Oscar movie does that, just to suck up to the critics at the end of the movie. =P Sometimes it makes for a good tearjerk, but cmon lazies, incorporate your deep meaning into the rest of the story!

Yeah, I have lots of issues with lots of popular things. :P I get easily annoyed.

Yeah, sometimes when something is billed as "Oscar-worthy" I know what they really mean.

I like it when a story or characters tug on my heartstrings. But when they're too obvious about it, that's when I get annoyed.

[hestergray]

Exactly!
