I watched Boy's Don't Cry last night.
Get this--On the back of the box, all it says about it is:
A riveting story about hope, fear, and the courage it takes to be yourself, BOYS DON'T CRY is "One of the 10 Best Films of 1999". Critically acclaimed and nominated..... blah blah.

I had stumbled across the story of Brandon Teena on livejournal and had wanted to see this movie. Found it at the library a week later. It sat on my desk for awhile because I knew it was going to be depressing as hell to watch.

Here's the trailer:


Hilary Swank was awesome as Brandon.
And yes it was depressing. Not a good movie to see right before bedtime. But, luckily, I dreamed of the cake I ate earlier that day rather than the movie!

And this movie (which is a true story) completely reinforces that people suck :(

Also because it's much cheaper to kill them than it is to keep them in a cell. I think prisons are failing to rehabilitate people. They just hold them there and then let them go. What is that supposed to change?
