Fair Finley
Fair tears up at both happy and sad movies, and funny movies, too. If a character is having an emotion, any emotion, Fair is right with them, whether the emotion is high or low. She'll weep at "Little Women," all versions, "Brokeback Mountain," beginning to finish, when Maria and the Captain are singing in the gazebo in "The Sound of Music," the end of "Slumdog Millionaire," and "Moulin Rouge," too. This is a positive because she keeps a little too much inside at the hotel, trying to look professional at all times.
She doesn't mind crying in public as long as it isn't at the hotel or in front of her family's employees.
Sutton Von Hunt
Sutton responds emotionally if she sees injustice or wrongdoing. Movies where people are being kept down or being denied their full potential will summon an angry tear or two. Workplace films, like "Norma Rae" can fire her up, but family dramas, like "Terms of Endearment," break her right down and send her to the tissue box. She also like a good love story, as long as it is "real" and not too marshmallowy. A little strife, and not fluffy, easily removed obstacles, attract her fancy. Think "Love Story" or "Atonement" or any other uncuted-up flick.
Sutton and Fair may cry a bit harder when together.
Monty Overbove
Monty is full of opinion, heat, and scowls during a film, at both the screen (if the directing isn't to his liking) or if someone around him is talking (his ultimate beef). He'll sit with his hands pyramided, in front of his face, peering over the tips of his touching fingers with intensity. Does he cry? Very infrequently, but if he does, he makes a big show of blowing his nose afterwards and clapping the backs of his fellow film goers in the lobby, saying he's glad they got through it together. Whatever Monty does, he's going to do it the most. "Shawshank Redemption" is his big tearjerker, though he loved "Life of Pi" and "Life Is Beautiful."
Gomery Overbove
The aspiring architectural physicist makes it to the theater less than his cousin, but he loves science fiction and oddball movies. He watches a film pretty quietly, though he'll sometimes lean over to Monty to point out scientific inconsistencies. This drives Monty nuts and Gomery gets sternly warned before the lights go down (but rarely heeds the warning, because he forgets). Does he weep a little? No, generally, but don't ask him about when Sam carries Frodo up the side of Mount Doom, nor the Ellie-Carl montage in "UP!" and definitely steer away from "Toy Story 3" and the incinerator moment.
Clementine Hwang
Clementine is a serious animation fan, so, like Gomery, she plugs into anything Pixar as well as Studio Ghibli. But she likes older films, too, French realism and avant garde works, and she's totally into all of the silent pictures with Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton and Theta Bara. Music has a way of touching Clementine, and sound, of course, and if a film has a theremin in it, or a harpsichord, or a piano medley, or a cello, she'll get a lump in her throat and something in her eye. A good romantic reprise in a musical is very much her thing, too.
Prior Yates
The movie star is often watched while he's watching films, especially his own, but that doesn't stop him from reacting in all the normal ways. In fact, he likely reacts overly broadly, laughing hard at his co-stars' lines and smiling demurely at his own lines that get laughs or sighs. Does he cry? He doesn't, especially at his own movies, because he knows what's coming, but sometimes he does at home, in one of his big houses, because he has some privacy and doesn't need to manage his emotions. He will sometimes tear up at his own performances, if only because he kind of remembers what he was going through that day, outside of the film.
Thurs Mathers
Thurs installed a home theater with surround sound but hasn't had a chance to use it yet.
