This may just be the people I hang out with, but the things I'm most mocked for are reading a lot of comics like Lackadaisy ("You read comics? Wait, are those FURRIES?"), watching M*A*S*H and Family Guy, and listening to things like Keane (which, in my defense, is a small portion of my music).

I see you the musical and raise you the movie having a special place in the heart of this burly 26 year old guy.Elizabeth Grunewald said:
Working at a summer camp in cottage country we had our first night off in two weeks. Our bosses take us out to the movies and we dress up in the "drama" departments goofiest clothes. The movie was Legally Blonde. I loved every moment of it. Including a trailer played at the begining.
*Reads in deep gravely movie guy voice* "It's hungry... and it's coming... for you...Jeepers Creepers" *Peels of laughter*
I have decided I will see the musical on one condition. Victor Garber needs to play the role on stage that he played in the movie.
I will admit it. The Legally Blonde musical did make me grin like a fool. Even though I hate that style of singing and I felt like the composer was listening to Wicked on repeat while writing the song, and I haven't watched the movie in years.
Some things are just fun!

There appears to be more than a few people confused about what exactly a guilty pleasure is.
One that I get told should be my "guilty" pleasure is the Transformers-movies (yes, the live-action ones... yes, the ones directed by Michael Bay) but I can't possibly call it a guilty pleasure, since I don't feel neither guilt nor shame about liking the movies (and screw you, should you try to convince me otherwise).
However, something that I do feel ashamed about liking (despite loving it in a wierd, horrific way) and would probably never utter aloud to anyone but close friends (and now you, Internet) is the Inheritance Cycle [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_Cycle] series of books. Yes, those shitty [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eragon],derivative [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldest], vile [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisingr] books. I have no idea what it is that attracts me to them because I realise there's not a trace of originality in any of the books and the writing is amateurish at best, but I've read them... at least four times each. I just can't stop.
I think I've got issues.

I love the Spice Girls movie... I used to own it until it got lost in a move, which is probably for the best considering it would be right next to my horror films.
I love pokemon too, but I'd like to think of it as nostalgia. Although it is rather uncomfortable playing it out in public, I lie when people ask me what I'm playing...pumasuit said:
Hmm... I like the Silent Hill and Doom movies. I get happy-bouncy when I listen to Forever by Chris Brown, knowing full well that he's a woman-beater. Whenever my cousin and I play Super Mario Bros. 3, we only put it on in order to play tag in the mini-game levels until the fireballs kill us. Most of the music on my mp3 player is video game soundtracks or Rebecca Mayes singing ABOUT video games... the twilight books are shameful self-indulgence... and I occasionally am moved to tears while watching figure skating, especially ice dancing. Oh, and I prefer watching other people play video games than playing them myself.
POOF!

My biggest guilty pleasure is installing hacks and mods into The Sims that allows for some rather obscene and taboo things to happen. I'm so embarrassed about it that I will not play The Sims if my boyfriend is around, no matter how many times he tells me he doesn't care.
You're Cut Off is terrible/wonderful fun. Glad to know someone else will 'fess up to tuning in.Susan Arendt said:

Ho, boy...here goes.
I like Battlefield Earth.
Knowing well of its reputation, I thought it would be one of those films that's physically painful to watch. Imagine my shock when I watch it and end up thoroughly enjoying it. It was utterly hilarious! I lost track of how many times I bust out laughing. But the truth is, a part of me enjoyed it on a non-ironic level as well. After hearing so much about Jonny, Carlo, Terl, and Ker from all the scathing reviews, I felt like I had a special connection with the characters, even though the film didn't bother to give me most of their names. Add that to the hammy acting, and the fact that the filmmakers tried so hard to make a good movie and so spectacularly failed, and you have a film that I find inexplicably endearing.
