Hey, what's wrong with School of Rock? I have to watch the end concert every time it shows up on cable.

The kids do not "rock" at all.

Inspiring kids to actually take the time to learn an instrument is a noble cause though. :)

Half of the appeal of the movie is that the children are amateur actors, but do play their instruments and the background singing. Inspiring, indeed. The other half is Jack Black.

Mr. White is working on the sequel as we speak. Er, type.

... and that's supposed to be appealing? Yuck. :wacko:

It's not as bad as it sounds. It's actually a fun movie. Come on. Mr. White. Jack Black. Sara Silverman. Good times.

Didn't he also do the splits in Bloodsport? What about Double Impact? Don't those count as "splits"?

Not that I remember... And I would.

Well, in Bloodsport he did do the splits between two chairs, leading his friend to poke his head around the door, take one look, and say: "That hurts me just looking at it!" And in Double Impact, he started off the movie as a dance instructer and was gleefully demonstrating how he could easily do the splits to his (all-female) class due to his martials arts.

I admit playing through Project Sylpheed 4 times already.... started my 5th last evening. This, in spite of every gaming fiber of my body telling me it's a bad game. We just need more space-fighter sims :( which went out of fashion it seems... every gamer nowadays seems to want to pretend to be a special ops guy with an M-4 with attached scope, nade launcher, and can opener.

Yeah, she's hot.

Mine guilty pleasure is watching Chuck Bass, as interpreted by Joel McHale.

I liked K-pop a lot when I was in college. After BoA became a hit, though, it seemed a like a lot of labels were ditching their established acts to sign young girls in the hopes of finding the next BoA.

If I had to pick one all-time favorite K-pop group, I think I'd go with the S#arp.

Its nice to know that I'm not the only who is into K-media. You what I also adore a lot of K-actresses :wub: Oppa.

She's pretty attractive. I dunno about "hot," but she sure ain't ugly & she seems like she'd be fun to hang out with.

robotech thread got me thinking about this...

as a 100% heterosexual male I've read all the twilight book and actually kind of liked them. :wacko: (movies are poo though)

The 1967 version of Casino Royale. As far as movies go it makes no sense and is pretty corny, but the women in it look stunningly beautiful and the soundtrack by Burt Bacharach is simply to die for. And you sit there cheering each of the brilliant cameo's.

as a 100% heterosexual male........... :lol: ..............the fact that I almost spent $130 on the Ally McBeal DVD box set that came out (finally)......i thought that show was pretty funny, and the women were all smokin.... B))

Found a new one...sort of.

I've become obsessed with Law and Order, even SVU and Criminal Intent. I might even start memorizing NY state statutes soon I've been watching the TBS/USA mini marathons on the weekends for 4-5 hours a day. My wife was laughing at me and talking during one, and I actually kicked her out of the living room and yelled at her for interrupting the show (I apologized later, but I think my immediate sex life took some damage).

Batman Forever and Commando....

Showgirls, but you have to watch it with friends. Drinking helps, too.

And yes, A7, I suppose Starship Troopers would count. It's clearly not the book, and it's definitely not the spiritual successor to Robocop that Verhoeven wants it to be, but the cast! THE CAST!

And to start, I'll just say that Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is simply stupid fun for people who know when to check their brains at the front door.

The problem is that "B"movies have become a lost art and people don't respect them for what they are. With the old cinema "Double bills" long gone people can't appreciate that a type of filmmaking evolved when they did exist that is still with us today. Machete is another great example of an old style "B" movie. It's never going to compete artistically with an "A" movie, but it's still a lot of fun.

I love The Black Hole; there is a lot wrong with it, but it just has an old school charm that makes it enjoyable on every viewing.

I also have a soft spot for Wing Commander: I know it's a bad movie with little-to-no resemblance to the PC games, other than the title; the Rapier has got to be one of the ugliest Space Fighter designs ever (looks like a pepperbox pistol with A-4U Corsair wings and A-10 nacelles); the dialogue is insipid at times; the plot is paper thin; most of the characters are two dimensional; acting is mostly pretty bad, and quite a bid of the dialogue doesn't help matters either; and the whole bit about how the pilots deal with the death of comrades is inane... but there is something about the aesthetics and general atmosphere of the movie's universe that appeal to me, somehow.

This. I feel pretty much the same way about the original Tron.

It's funny that this thread got necroed today, the day I bought Sadako 3D on blu-ray. I think Ring counts as a guilty pleasure for me. I mean, the original Japanese movie and the American remake were both pretty good, but aside from a few scenes in Ring 2, the sequels have ranged from bad to really bad. And yet, I love them anyway, so much that I have both of the American Ring movies on DVD, the Ring: Anthology of Terror DVD box set of the Japanese films, and now Sadako 3D on blu-ray. And that's in addition to owning the Vertical Inc English editions of Ring, Spiral, Loop, and Birthday.

And I hear that Sadako 3D is getting a sequel this month in Japan. Awesome.

I think the problem is that the people who made "Machete" where fully aware that they were making a B-Movie while the people who made "Hansel & Gretel" were complete morons.

Hmmm, my guilty pleasure has to be 80s music. Pop, hair band, etc. Ahhh, long are the days of excessiveness, standing out, and Aqua Net. LMAO.

absolutely nothing to feel guilty about with that particular pleasure whatsoever.

now my Anime doll collecting, and the sewing skills i've learned in order to make clothing of personal choice for them, well,

that would surely be the sort of "Guilty Pleasure" that would be surely guaranteed to kick one clean straight out of "Man Academy" for good...
