That means I'll likely enjoy it as a film if it can make me cry, if it makes me happy, or even if it pisses me off.

You cannot... repeat CANNOT... make a judgment on a movie you have not seen. How can you imply that the movie would be the same without the scene in question?
See, I'm not that way. I only "like" a movie if it instills in me a POSITIVE emotional response - the laughter produced by a comedy or the sense of justice produced by an old-fashioned Good vs. Evil story.

I just don't watch movies anymore. If I have to think about it, or "examine my inner self", or walk away from the movie feeling disgusted, depressed, or both, that's the ANTITHESIS of "entertainment".
