Most shameful guilty pleasure you've ever had

I feel worse because I got bored through the Painted Bird. Though the scene where the girl/guy got locked together stayed with me mostly because I was curious if it really happened. Is that the one you meant?

I’ve been racking my brain to come up with something, anything as bad as Cats. I’m failing. Sure, I spent years as part of a Rocky Horror cast, I was an unrepentant Poison fan in the early nineties, and while I did read Twilight, I can’t say I enjoyed it. But Andrew Lloyd Webber …

Oh, wait. I’ve got it. Once upon a time, I loved, I mean loved (as in saw it on Broadway three times and listened to the soundtrack every day for months) … Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Honestly, I think I’d blocked it from my memory. shudder

What’s wrong with Cats? That was a great musical. I loved it. :confused:

I admit, I like Xanadu, too. I have some songs from it on my iPod. I even went to a revival screening of it a few months back, and it was as gloriously cheesy as ever. My favorite one-word review of it? Xanadon’t.

I loved Xanadu. I love Grease II. And the Beastmaster.

I have a special weakness for a special genre of movie - there has to be some sort of contest/big game/big show, and the main characters have to practice REALLY hard (music montage is a bonus) and the final show/game is the big payoff.

See: Cutting Edge, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Drumline, You Got Served, Mystery Alaska, Footloose (learning how to dance for The.Big.Dance!), Bring it On, Bend it Like Beckham, Sister Act, Center Stage, Roll Bounce, Stick It, Dirty Dancing etc etc.

Love ALL of them. Love love love.

That was one of them. The other involved a woman and a glass jar. (I have no idea if it really happened but I doubt it. Koscinski (sp) has been accused of making it all up.)

Why is there still no pukin’ smiley?

Ever had? Well, I was in the Subway shoppe getting myself a sandwich today, when Steve Miller’s “Jungle Love” came on. When I was 15 I loved this song-today, it was <cringe> time. Good enough?

Nowadays, I’ll probably admit to enjoying the Ozric Tentacles-in small doses. Sheer ear candy, and nothing more, yes, but I can still get into them.

I think Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo is actually a really good, sweet movie.

I enjoy Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich movies. And I plan on seeing 2012 and enjoying it. I an unironic way.

I really liked Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell II album.

Really. I loved the video for “Objects in the Rear View Mirror”.

Shameful.

Oh, also I have a Very Serious Thing for Antonio Banderas. I mean, I saw Original Sin and paid actual money for it. I saw Ecks Vs. Sever. It’s pathological. I especially love to hear him sing.

I have a secret passion for Motley Crue, which I rarely indulge now. It’s a holdover from junior high and high school, but I was a serious collector of Crue memorabilia. I had jewelry, panties, one-of-a-kind wood carvings, framed pictures, and hundreds of pages of fiction that I wrote about me and Vince Neil. :eek:

I cringe, now.

Is…this a whoosh?

You stole mine. I own the DVD of Armageddon and have watched it multiple times, and have watched every commentary track multiple times. I am looking forward to 2012 so much that it’s not even funny. My family thinks that I am into these movies in a hipster ironic sort of way, but no, I just really, really love big disaster end-of-world movies. I know on some level that they are not really good movies and are full of terrible cliches, but I don’t care, I fully enjoy them anyway.

I also really like the Black Eyed Peas.

Seen the show… got the soundtrack… bought the DVD… got the coffee mug…

Frequently listen to that too… ohhh… hadn’t seen that video… excellent…

What?! :smiley:

Glory stole my thunder. I’m a 55-year-old guy, BTW.

Waitaminute. I don’t see Flashdance on that list. Harumph harumph harumph.

Boy, I can only wait until Hal Briston comes along and puts you all in your place.

When I was a kid, I thought the height of cool was Krull, Starship’s “We built this city” and the Hans Christian Andersen movie starring Danny Kaye.

I know the feeling. I like Michael Bay movies. Why? Because something will make me giggle, and something will blow up. That’s all I ask.

I liked 2005’s Stealth, and own the DVD (though I did wait until I could get a copy for $5).

For an aviation buff, it’s somewhere on the level of a skinemax flick. :smiley:
