Lifetime movies are a GREAT source of mainstream bondage scenes. Especially their women in prison movies, which are always good for at least a cuff scene or two, and often for a body cavity search scene as well. There’s even been a couple with rape scenes (though not explicit, of course).
Of course I don’t watch the movies cause of all the bitchin’ and moaning that goes on during them, but that’s what VCRs and super fast forward are for.
You sure those aren’t just man-boobs? Those can get pretty big if you’re a hefty enough guy, you know.
Ahhh, nuts. Someone beat me to the idea.
Oh well…if you want a more simplistic version, just break out a couple of 10-sided dice and roll your own title! Just take one word from List A, one from List B, and you’ve got yourself a perfect Lifetime Movie Title (feel free to ignore a result of 10-10 :)).

One other thing…My wife is an avid Lifetime movie watcher, and that’s just fine by me. I may not be perfect, but the more she gets it drilled into her head that guys like the ones in these films are what’s out there, the better I look. 
It’s all part of the Evil Overlords’ ™ plan for us all, Hal. If you have to give up the double standard, lower women’s standards for men generally by making them think all the OTHER men are scum.
Another 30-something female checking in. There are no words for the extent to which I loathe Lifetime, which, like another poster here, I nicknamed “The Victim Network.” I have been subjected to any number of them while visiting my mother, who uses the “there’s nothing better on” excuse. Why I can’t convince this otherwise intelligent, educated woman to turn off the bloody TV, or watch a DVD, or wash the cat, or do almost anything but watch that tripe is beyond me.
You know, the women that hate Lifetime, are all sounding pretty hot to me. So, ladies, how you doin’? 
Doin’ just fine. You don’t happen to look like Richard Dean Anderson, do you?
asterion, yep, already got Seasons 1-4 of Stargate on DVD and am working on the rest. Getting hooked on that show is what renewed my admiration for Anderson. I mean, come on. Richard Dean Anderson! He’s so great as Jack. (Though my favorite character from that show is currently Teal’c.)
Is it just me, or do other people associate Lifetime with Dr. Phil? It seems like the ladies who watch Lifetime also swear by Dr. Phil. Maybe it’s just my perception or something . . .
Hee hee, I tried that Lifetime Movie title generator and, after plugging in some responses, got
Overcoming My Scurvy:A Promise to my Baby
Just an FYI but 1-800-MISSING is based off an excellent series of YA books 1-800-Where-R-You written by Jenny Carrol. (who is also Writer Meg Cabot of The Princess Diaries fame)
And as for the OP, I think that the women who like the Lifetime Movies are also the type that like the trashy romance novels and mysteries by Janet Evanovich. (and yes, I am one of those women!) Many of the same elements are there…victims who overcome their victimhood to conquer their adversity no matter what.
shrug To each their own I guess.
Hey – don’t peg Janet Evanovich fans that way. I love me some Stephanie Plum, but 3 minutes of the latest Lifetime Glurge Fest starring Meredith Baxter, Justine Bateman, Joanna Kerns, Victoria Principal and Valerie Bertinelli (in a special guest role) makes me want to pluck my eyeballs out with those toothpicks with the frill on the end.
Very Sure.
Okay, fine.
checks under skirt
Yes! Entirely female!
I guess if I watched Lifetime I wouldn’t need to check…
Hey wait! I sometimes read trashy romance novels! In fact, I’m deeply into them right now—reading them in Spanish. (They help me with learning and increasing vocabulary, but the plots are lightweight enough so that if I miss a detail or two now and then, it doesn’t really matter. Just perfect for my goals!) Anyway, I’ll even read romances (usually Harlequins or Sillhouettes) in English too. They are mostly harmless, especially good during times of stress (I mainlined Harlequins right after the big Northridge Quake ten years ago).
So anyway, a lot of us who read trashy novels (which would also include both my sisters) are definitely not into Lifetime. Ack! Though, I did watch part of a Justine Bateman movie on We (Women’s Entertainment), that was based on a Harlequin Romance. Does that count? (And Richard Dean Anderson was nowhere in sight either!)
Sure, with lots and lots of expensive plastic surgery!
You know, those toothpicks make a good analogy for women. They look all soft and frilly on the end, but in reality they’re a big sharp stick just waiting to impale you right through the heart.
Not that I’m bitter. 
I checked under my skirt and discovered that I am male! Now I guess I have to get rid of all my skirts.
Lifetime movie rapists tend to be a rather fertile bunch, don’t they? No, wait … the baby always winds up being the husband’s, after much “Do I want to carry my rapist’s baby?” hand-wringing and soul-searching.
No, you just have to make sure they’re all plaid.
My mother(who is in her 40’s) watches Lifetime religiously. I, who am in my 20’s, generally dislike the channel(Television for victims, yup). Sometimes I’ll watch something there, but very rarely. I prefer Oxygen(it has XENA and has shown the original Psycho. Can’t go wrong there), but I don’t often watch that either.
I think older, more conservative women may prefer Lifetime, while younger, more liberal women might prefer Oxygen.
Course that’s an obvious generalization. Heh.
