obviously bad movies is one but what about others? music, books, tv? what are some of yours?

Music~ little river band. 99% of what I listen to are bands like disturbed and slipknot so its odd to the people who know me that I cant get enough of the night owl and lonesome loser. 

Books~ Dragonlance.. I know,  its not the best representation of fantasy but I like them. I mainly read other fantasy novels but once in awhile I gotta get my dragonlance fix.

TV~ Hells kitchen. I hate cooking shows and I despise reality shows but Gordon Ramsey calling people cows and cussing up a storm is strangely attractive to me.  :question:

ok, dont be shy.   :teddyr:

Listening to ABBA and watching Friends.  :lookingup:

 I also really like ABBA  :cheers:

Music - Sappy (and sometimes crappy) 80s artists like Culture Club, George Michael and Breathe.  

Books - I like Percy Jackson and The Olympians book series.  

Food - I'm a sucker for sweets.  I pack fruit snacks (the ones they sell for kids) in every lunch.  I also stuff my face with Nerds, Runts, Twizlers and other things I should have given up 20 years ago.

TV - I'm a big fan of action cartoons from the 80s.  Stuff like He-Man, Thundarr, GI Joe, etc.  I can watch them with the same interest as I did back when I was a kid.  I also enjoy a lot of stuff my kid watches like Phineas And Ferb and Spongebob.

Music

* ABBA - In addition to the cds and DVDs I own, I've seen the play MAMMA MIA! twice (Boston and Las Vegas), saw the movie during its theatrical release, and even bought the DVD (ouch!)

* Crooners and lounge singers - Yup.  I've seen Engelbert Humperdinck, Wayne Newton, Tom Jones, and Paul Anka live in concert (multiple times for all of them except Tom Jones).  And I listen to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jerry Vale, Al Martino, and guys like that on a regular basis.  They're a wonderful contrast to The Ramones, ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, etc.

Movies

* Many musicals such as Singin' in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver!, etc.  And I've seen Grease and Xanadu far more often than the average mortal man.

Ed, Ego and Superego

Hmm, I actually like "What not to Wear" on TV.  I love seeing the "before" shots of how these people dress.  I like cartoons, but I really don't like anime much, aside from some classics. 
Music wise. I really like techno-pop.   I dunno why, but i do.

Chocolate milk, marshmallow fluff, and convincing large-breasted women that I deserve a hug are all guilty pleasures that I don't indulge in often enough.

Movies: I enjoy Cool World.

TV Shows: I enjoy many, MANY animes.  I really like Shin-Chan, Lucky Star, Cardcaptors, Shuffle, Azumanga Dioah, Comic Party, and Air Gear.

Manga: Even though the target audience is for girls, I really enjoy Hot Gimmick and Ghost Hunt.  I also like Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, I''S, and Pretty Face (Probably the funniest comic I ever read).

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

HappyGilmore

Movies: A Walk To Remember.  Total chick flick, but I gotta say, I totally love it.

TV: 90210- I know, I know.  Also: Power Rangers.

Music: New Kids on The Block, Spice Girls, any 'boy band' teen pop type of thing.

Music - The Bee Gees.  Yeah, I like disco, always have  :teddyr:  Like the Go-Go's as well.  And ABBA, who doesn't like ABBA? 

TV - Melrose Place.  Guess it's always been a dream of mine:  Move to Southern California where all the women are glamorous, and sleep with every single solitary one of them.
