How to confuse one store for another.

[AriRashkae]

Yeah, some of the movies I admit to liking? Crap. But fun crap. Like the live action Scooby-Doo movie. Horribfuckus. But yet I laugh my butt off every time I watch it.

Everyone needs some fluff to love or we'd all go buckets of crazy if we couldn't let our brains take a vacation now and then.

[mharbourgirl]

Yup. Never be afraid to admit you like crap so long as you don't try to deny the crappiness of it.

^-.-^

Could you PLEASE tell this to my husband? I get endless flack for watching Red Dwarf. I KNOW it's crap. It's SUPPOSED to be crap. And I love it because of that.

When it comes to vampire movies, though, my favourite is Blade. I LIKE those vampires.

[Pagan]

As long as people are reading something, it doesn't matter if it's crap. At least they're reading. I feel very, very sad when I hear people say they don't read. Especiallywhen I know that they don't have any problems reading.

You left out The Librarian: Curse Of The Judas Chalice. That has badass (as well as beautiful) vampires also, along with the Indiana Jones-like comedy.

Not to mention Dr. John Carter! Sorry, I think Noah Wylie is adorable.

Side: I actually liked the books, for some reason. Don't ask me WHY; i sure as heck don't know. XD I'm an English major. I clearly understand that they are total crap. But I had fun reading the first three anyway. Weird, right? Oh well, hopefully I atone for that in my love of Hugo, Hawthorne, and Hughes. XDDD

I finally got talked into reading "Twilight" by one of my friends lending me the book. It's not bad. But, by her description of Edward so far, I cannot see Rob Pattinson. I think Hayden Christensen how he looked in "Sith".

Three of my all-time favorite movies are "Porky's", "Weekend at Bernie's", and "Howard the Duck". I am well aware of how these movies are regarded, but I laugh my ass off every time I see them!

No offense, but what the hell is wrong with your husband? "Red Dwarf" was brilliant!

I have to add Weekend At Bernie's 2 to that list. I liked it better than the first.

Actually, that I have to disagree with. Something that's written poorly can have a much greater negative effect on someone than a poorly made movie. But more detail is for Fratching.

Oh, I know what you mean and I don't mean that kind of crap. I mean the stuff that some people don't consider "literature" and therefore you're not really "reading" if you're reading it. Like bodice-ripper romance novels. And I know that some people lump Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" books (those are laugh-out-loud hilarious) in there, too.

It's just that sometimes you need something light. That's what "Twilight" is for me. I just finished Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" (now I want to see the movie) and am in the middle of one of Diana Gabaldon's huge-ass books as well as fighting my way through Compton Mackenzie's "Whisky Galore" .

[Broomjockey]

That's what "Twilight" is for me.

Actually, stuff like Twilight was exactly what I was talking about. It's fine for adults, but I think it's bad for the audience it's supposed to be for, the "young adult" (AKA 14-18) demographic.

What, the same guy who hid his disdain for Monty Python from me until I was obsessively in love with him? He has his good qualities, no worries. We just have some wildly different tastes in TV/Literature, that's all.

I'm sorry, mharbourgirl. It's hard to have to tell someone this.

Your husband is broken.

You have my sympathies.

psh. python is awesome. "she turned me into a newt!" and all that. i used to watch it with the band in highschool.

but as for liking crap as long as you can admit it's crap...i got hooked on a murder mystery series last year that was...well, crap. it wasn't very well written and it took me a few hours to read each book. but damn i love them. own all but the most recent 2 (only cuz i can't find them in paper back). i used to read them at work when i was testing printers. honestly, they saved my brain. that job was so mind-numbingly dull, i had to have a distraction.

oh, the bestest part of the books? each has about 10 recipes. tasty recipes ^_^

but as for twilight...i read all four in a couple days. and i do feel sorry for the demographic they were designed for. it gives them the idea that it's okay to have no personality and to not be a fan yourself as long as there's someone telling you you're awesome and delicious. it's safer for the older people that have had a few years to figure out their personality. and i could go oooooon and oooooon about this but i'll save it for elsewhere.

[cinema guy]

As crap vampire movies go, I love Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat.

[Green_Fairy]

30 days of night is my favorite. can't beat a trencher covered in bear traps.

there's a new one coming out...daybreakers. vampires are the reigning species and are farming humans for blood or some such. should be interesting.

Oooo, which series? I'm partial to Joanne Fluke's series, because her cookie recipes are awesome!

[Green_Fairy]

it's that exact author ^_^

[AriRashkae]

Too funny.
