The Crying Game

13 December 2009 | 9:41 PM

It’s been a long time since I’ve carried on a relationship with anything other than my coffee maker, let alone since I’ve been married, so I’m trying to keep that in mind as I watch this riveting series of videos in which blogger/designer Parker Stech documents his sweet-seeming wife Hollie’s devolution into a sobbing mess at the end of classic sci-fi movies. For example, here’s her reaction after watching Star Wars – Episode VI: Return of the Jedi:

Oh. Mah. Gah. Stech swears up and down that his wife’s all right with him doing this, and in some cases is even behind the idea of putting this hot mess on the internet. Even so, I have to think that some sort of marital karma is going to be visited upon him at some point. And by “marital karma”, I of course mean “videos of him crying after sex being posted on the web,”, much like the same fate I am sure awaits this guy. Thankfully, though, this is his bag of yin/yang to deal with, so jamokes like me can feel free to laugh and laugh.

It does, though, make one wonder what happens if she watches something truly sad, like, say any of George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels. Heyo!
