the legitimately awful things you like

[Van Cruncheon]

in the interest of demonstrating that i'm not a total fuckin' snob, i'm gonna list four things i like that are legitimately BAD (not schlocky amusing bad, like a hot topic sort of hipster ironic affectation). most of these i excuse with nostalgia.

movie: the rock (hans zimmer hyperbombast ftw!)

teevee series: brimstone (i can't not watch shows about the occult)

book: the elfstones of shannara by terry brooks (almost indefensible, frankly)

Haven't seen the movie in years so I'd have to re-rate it, but as a kid it was a 10/10. Up there with Toy Story in terms of classic cinema for children

Blade Runner...I'll give it another chance. I was unfair.

Music: Hmmm...

[TVC15]

Movie:  I enjoy tons of so bad its good cinema, but I don't think that counts.  Neither does all the shitty low budget horror.  Hmm, Time After Time?  Is that considered a bad movie?  I love that.

teevee:  I have a soft spot for trashy reality TV.  And 90210.  And if I am given free afternoons, I will rapidly get addicted to soap operas.  

Books:  Hahaha, Drinky likes Terry Brooks.  I'm not sure there's anything bad I like.  I like a lot of legit gothic writing, and some of that comes across as hokey and dated.  I kinda like Douglas Coupland, although he is kinda one note and hacky.  I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but if I were in an airport and one of his books were in the book shop. . .

band:  I have the entire Smashing Pumpkins library on my iPod, including bootlegs and rare shit.  Same goes for NIN.  Also got Jeezy and some REM.

It if is indeed a "classic" up there with  Toy Story why has toy story's popularity remained consistant and is a dvd staple for all children while maltilda fell off the face of the earth with no one remembering it?

and TVC Time After Time is fucking awesome.

[Van Cruncheon]

i don't like terry brooks -- even elfstones is legitimately terrible. i like it for reasons wholly unrelated to the novel itself.

[Phoenix Dark]

This week I've been looking at this one soap that has fantasy elements; it has blown my mind. I turned it on as this blind priest tried to get this woman to confess her sins, and you could only see the back of her head. Her voice sounded evil, then she turned around and BAM SHE HAS A DEMENTED CLOWN MASK ON

[TVC15]

and TVC Time After Time is fucking awesome.

Is it?  For whatever reason I thought nobody liked it.

Was this Passions?

[CajoleJuice]

Movie: The Rock is considered a bad movie? 

TV: King of Queens seems to be hated on quite a bit. I enjoy the reruns that I've seen.

Book: I used to read a bunch of Michael Crichton.

Band: I still listen to older Incubus once in a while.

[BlueTsunami]

Movie:
Legend - Extremely cheesy to some but I love the cinematography and the simple story. Theres also nostalgia factor but still!

Book:
Great Expectations - I don't know if its liked or not but its really...girly...with emotions and stuff. Still struck a cord with me...omg....


Music:
Enigma - Is considered Gregorian Club Pop or something I love the sound Cretu has with Enigma ever since I was in my early teens.

TV:
No lie, I actually like watching Yes Dear!...why? I don't know...maybe cause the petite mom is hot...maybe not...oh god no...

Videogame:
Xenogears...nuff said

[Van Cruncheon]

"nobody liked it" doesn't mean it's bad; and conversely, quite a few people like matchbox 20.

really, what i mean by "bad" is that you recognize it as utterly technically inferior or manufactured, but you like it because it preys on nostalgia or a fanboy quality you possess.

[TVC15]

What the FUCK!  How could you say Great fucking Expectations is awful!?!?!?!@/122/!/21?@12!?2??  I don't even LIKE Dickens much!

OMG

[Himu]

tv: I watch good tv, but I can admit I used to have a soft spot for The Real World.

games: Shenmue and Xenogears.

movie: I am a proud lover of "so bad it's good" movies. Street Fighter the movie ftw.

books: Harry Potter. It's just so damn charming.

music: Can't think of any bad music I listen to.

[Van Cruncheon]

what is it with you black people and harry potter? jk rowling's never even seen a black person in her life!

[Phoenix Dark]

Nintendo and Dogma are my crosses to bear, I suppose

[TVC15]

Au contraire, mon Drinky!  She was on the UK equivalent of welfare.  I am sure she had to go to the offices at least once.  

[Van Cruncheon]

pd: so was jewel, and i don't see you humming "only kindness matters"

[Van Cruncheon]

nintendo isn't bad, per se. dogma, though: yeah.

[Saint Cornelius]

i'm sorry, but the leet tastemakers at EB aren't going to keep me from enjoying what i like. bad enough that TVC almost ruined Heroes for me.

pd: so was jewel, and i don't see you humming "only kindness matters"

oh god. jewel is a CUNT.

[Human Snorenado]

Movies:  Will Ferrell flicks.  Can't help it, I just think he's funny.

Books:  This is probably my strongest category.  I can't think of anything I read that's shameful or low-brow, to be honest.  I do read a lot of current events, political books, some of which are very poorly written but I think it's important to be informed.

TV:  24.   

Music:  I have a pronounced weakness for cheesy 80's/late 70's shit.  Stuff like Total Eclipse of the Heart, Meatloaf, etc.  I like to sing it in my terrible voice.

[Phoenix Dark]

pd: so was jewel, and i don't see you humming "only kindness matters"

I have all of Jewel's book actually

[BlueTsunami]

What the FUCK!  How could you say Great fucking Expectations is awful!?!?!?!@/122/!/21?@12!?2??  I don't even LIKE Dickens much!

I don't know! I mean...I got my balls busted by people I actually know for liking the book. But its probably testosterone filled laughter. But yeah

[Saint Cornelius]

You are NOT black.

[Mupepe]

Yes, Dear is an awesome fucking television show.  It's hilarious.  So is King of Queens.

[MrAngryFace]

Haha King of Queens, that shit is so manufactured. Its like it comes out of a fucking Sitcom Factory in China.

[Saint Cornelius]

The only good King of Queens episodes are the ones that have Spence in it.

[Van Cruncheon]

srsly. jewel's book is pure bad vagina poetry.

it's awful, but leah remini is smokin'. well, i thought she was until i discovered that she was a devout scientologist.

i hear scientologists find sex repulsive.

[Phoenix Dark]

I am not from here,
my hair smells of the wind
and is full of constellations,
and I move about this world
with a healthy disbelief.
And I approach my days and my work
with vaporous consequence
a touch that is translucent,
but can violate stone.

[Saint Cornelius]

seriously, what the fuck is that tripe? i scrawled doper lyrics on my peechee folders.

jesus, pd, that's ghastly. it can't even keep its metaphors straight -- it's just ostentatious random teenaged musings!

[bluemax]

No its pretty much shit.

Movies: I've seen more b-movies than quality cinema that you guys watch. Its not that I'm like PD and think the classics are bad, they just don't entertain me as much as a lo grade zombie flick.

Music: I have Sublime on my iPod and I don't know why. Also the Catch 22 album about Communism.

Too lazy to think of other stuff.

[Phoenix Dark]

jesus, pd, that's ghastly. it can't even keep its metaphors straight -- it's just ostentatious random teenaged musings!

Burn her eyes, without hope of understanding them.
Kiss her mouth, that you may fathom its strange tongue.
Indulge in her brown skin because it reminds you of mother.
Rape her mind, because it is not your own,
but so sweet, so familiar.
Like coming home to a native land
your pale and inbred hands can only faintly fathom.
