[General Discussion] Guilty Pleasures

The title is self-explanatory. TV, music or movies. Guilty pleasures. We all have them. Don't lie to me, you fucks. I know you have secrets and I want them flamboyantly out like Hard Gay at SF Pride pushing a daisy-covered lawnmower across city hall's lawn. (I will not be held responsible for whatever ridicule you are submitted to if you admit to liking "Twilight". You have been warned.)

First and foremost, I have to mention my ultimate guilty pleasure:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. This movie is basically eye-candy and nothing more. It has horrible voice acting, a trite and ultimately forgettable story that actually hinders the story of the original game it services and it's a pathetic fellatio from Squenix to fans of a beloved franchise. But you know what? I still pop in this movie from time to time simply to admire how fucking amazing the animation and over-the-top action scenes in the movie. I make no apologies for it and fuck you if you hate me for it.

300. Horrible film. Yes, sprout. I get it. This film is awful. You know what, though? GREAT MOVIE.

Spartacus: Blood & Sand. Just started watching it today and is really the thing that sparked this thread. This show is fucking AWFUL. Oh GOD, it's awful. It has bad (though not horrible) acting, bad CGI and Lucy Lawless in a role that's NOT Xena. But, man, this show is exorbitantly-violent, has Romans and Thracians fucking each other like jackrabbits on ecstasy and Lucy Lawless in a role that's not Xena (in that she's naked half the time and, jesus-tittyfucking-christ, she's actually fucking HOT). I was reading that the show was actually put on hold because the actor who plays Spartacus (fuck if I remember his name at the time) is having health issues so, once I finish this first season, I have no more brutally-killing, rabidly-fucking and bad line-delivering Romans on TV to watch and it makes me go :sadface:

How ya doing, buddy?

The soapy goodness of this diabolically corny show got me hooked for the first two seasons. The story is decent enough (a troubled teen is adopted by a family of rich Jewish people), the writing is lame, and it's just so much stupid fun. I lost interest halfway through season 2 when the main bitch played by that skinny hoe decided to become a lesbian. Couldn't take much more after that.

You know what I still like about that show? The indie-pop soundtrack they had throughout the entire run of the series. I STILL listen to it all the time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I heard it namedropped in a song and I was wondering about the reference so I looked it up. It's as bad, if not worse, than "SKINS" on MTV. This, I consider to be a true guilty pleasure because it's godfuck awful. You have must be truly manly to admit to this.

(Kidding. Shit is gayer than Ralph Macchio in "The Outsiders".)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
