Another guilty pleasure of mine is watching American Idol. There's something oddly amusing about Simon Cowell making fun of the bad singers. O_o;

Mr. Marshmallow 01-16-2007 01:47 PM

Guilty pleasure of mine, and this is one I RARELY have told anyone:

I listen to the Pokemon TV soundtrack CDs, and their movie soundtracks.

Cassini90125 01-16-2007 01:58 PM

If it makes you feel any better I recently bought the soundtrack to the Sailor Moon series, and for the past week the opening theme has been slowly ripping my eardrums to shreds. ;D

Nothing wrong with that. The original themesong was magic! And I still find myself listening to the original Power Rangers themesong.8D

Appreciate it but to be honest, there's much more to it then just the theme song. In fact the theme song is the LAST reason why i listen to them. A lot of the tracks on those CD's are very inspirational and have encouraging lyrics.

Sometimes I've been in such rotten situations, they all go away when I listen to one of those CD's (4 total, that i have anyway). They are very uplifting music and if you ever feel down or doubt yourself, I suggest listening to one of these CDs.

It's amazing how much these cds have helped me through out most of my life. I also admit being "guilty" to seeing Pokemon Live! when it came around to theaters. I only got a few pictures but that was an AMAZING show.

i see myself constantly watching the show. but thats not really a guilty pleasue, because i dont care if anyone knows(otherwise, id have a diffrent avatar)

hmm.. another guilty pleasure? cant think of any right now.. oh yeah, i still read dr suess books(btw, the only books i read besides manga too.)

Cassini90125 01-16-2007 03:34 PM

Years ago I saw Scooby-Doo live on stage. All the silliness you'd expect, but the in-person aspect gave it a whole new dimension, particularly the part of the show where the characters left the stage and wandered into one of the audience sections. My section. I was estatic. :)

I saw that too, actually. I went with a friend and made sure to stock up on pokemon lightsabers at the end. :B

Mr. Marshmallow 01-16-2007 05:24 PM

I really wished they would have released a DVD of that Pokemon Live show, or at least a musical soundtrack CD. I really enjoyed that show and I treasure the few pictures I got of it before they told me I couldn't take anymore.

The flash distracts the actors and all that jazz. But kid or adult, I loved that show and it's one of the few rare like stage shows I was amazed by, even if it was intended for kids. Can you imagine if Foster's got one like that?

That's very true. One song that almost broght me to tears was the song at the end of Jirachi Wismaker (the one that was half english and half japanese and was about how you don't need to wish on a shooting star to make wishes come true). That is another guilty pleasuer of mine. I would watch that movie every time I found it on tv so I could listen to that song!:D

Actually, I know of a website that has all of the songs up for download. When I find it, I'll note you. 8)

Please do I would really, really, REALLY appreciate it. And in regards to what you said Medikor about Jirachi, I give my support and love to that movie because it really was one of the better Pokemon movies they have released as of lately.

Most of the newer ones have been seriously lacking the enjoyment and flare of the original Pokemon movies. My favorite being the masterful and incredibly eye dazzling 2nd movie "Pokemon 2000", I also loved "Pokemon Heroes" "Pokemon's First movie" and "Jirachi".

I was half pleased half disappointed with "Pokemon 4ever" and I HATED "Destiny Deoxys", I have yet to see the 8th one and I hope it's an improvement. Pokemon movies are a guilty pleasure of mine as well, I gave up trying to track the main series and still enjoy watching their anime films.

Carlaz 01-17-2007 05:21 AM

This is a simple one ~ but I love to chewing bubble gum.

InsaneFan 01-17-2007 07:07 AM

*wanders in* Man, you'd be surprised how many threads I have never been to!


I don't have any guilty pleasures. I am in no way ashamed of the things I like. Well, watching anime shows was my GP for a while...But then I remembered "screw it, it doesn't matter what other people think!" Heh.

I havant really watched many of the movies. I seen the first two in theaters and the one with Jirachie and the one with Latias and Latios on the movie network. Pokemon always has this cute charm to it.:D
And this leads me to another guilty pleasure of mine. I am a May fan. Many fans dislike her and want Misty back in the show but I watch the show off and on and I have to say that I really like her more than Misty. She brought a refreshing change with her since she's new to Pokemon. I rarely let people know about this because Misty fans will eat me alive!8D

Mr. Marshmallow 01-17-2007 01:43 PM

I'm one of em. I LOOOOVE Misty and I was super pissed she left, I have been a long time supporter of the whole Ash/Misty love thing (which you have to be blind not to notice at this point). Jirachi made a great reference to this love thing, and "Pokemon 2000" is probably the biggest flag alert on this.

Latios and Latias were in "Pokemon heroes" which is VERY similar to "2000", actually, there's even a direct reference to that movie in the end credits, when the Rocket girls, Annie and Oakley are looking through a book in jail.

I don't mind May, she's all right, I wish they kept her Pokemon phobia a bit longer but Misty's still the girl for me. Here's another guilty pleasure of mine:

I'm a BIG BIG BIG Buffy the vampire slayer fan.

Howard 01-19-2007 12:49 PM

I love the Wizard of Oz stories (the original L. Frank Baum ones). I have ALL fourteen of the ones he wrote, and they never grow old!:frankiesmile:

HappyFoppy 01-21-2007 05:59 AM

- Listening to cute Pop'n Music songs (read: Japanese songs that are like lalalalala happy happy all the time)

- Watching TV shopping stuff

- Likeing Pokémon

- Being afraid of the dark :D

- Being addicted to eating candy.

YuckieDuck 01-21-2007 11:10 AM

I like to watch old music video countdowns I taped in 1997 and 1998. They're still awesome! When I was five, I could remember which videos they showed and I used to talk to my relatives about them. 8D

Snap, right. It ain't a pleasure. YAY I'm AFRAAAAIIID! :D

SkittleMonkey 01-22-2007 11:44 AM

I enjoy watching Lazytown, Charlie and Lola, and Johnny and the Sprites...

Nathander 01-22-2007 07:37 PM

The fact that I enjoy Shoujo Manga/Anime. For those who don't bury themselves in Japanese Nerd Jargon, Shoujo is the term used for manga and anime aimed at girls. And I don't mean Shoujo that has action elements in it either, necessarily, like Fushiga Yuga; I mean ROMANCES and such like Pita-Ten. I'm a helpless romantic at heart, really....

That, and I love the Child's Play series of movies. You know, with the killer doll Chucky? I know a lot of people find the character hokey, but....jeez, he's easily my favorite horror icon, with Freddy of course being a close second.

scary_dream 01-22-2007 10:09 PM

Chucky isn't my favorite horror icon, but I LOVE the Child's Play movies.

I know some people think it's gross, but another guilty pleasure of mine is..... peeling sunburns. It's just so satisfying to do it!

Howard 01-23-2007 01:02 PM

While I enjoy reading my fair share of fiction books - I prefer non-fiction (History) that covers early Americana, military, ancient civilizations, and Civil War - boring huh?:frankiesmile:

i always thought that was spelled shojo, not shoujo. oh well, learn something new everyday..

mostly another one would be probably just stupid. i love just sitting in the rain. cant really explain it, so yeah.

Wendi 01-23-2007 02:27 PM

I personally enjoy random science books. When I was little I always got books on asrtonomy and chemistry. Now i like reading my sister's biology book, if its there.

AHHH...

Carlaz 01-23-2007 05:07 PM

I've always enjoyed reading fantasy fiction (knights, dragons, damsels). :herriman:

I remember watching the first three films of the Child's Play series, which were pretty cool.

Jabberwocky 01-23-2007 09:53 PM

My friend's brother scared the crap out of us when I slept over once, he had a Chucky doll and stuck it between us and then dumped water and flour all over us and I woke up like ahh water AHHHH CHUCKY.

Voxxyn 01-24-2007 01:47 AM

I once remember going to a in-mall restaurant and seeing a Chucky doll displayed alongside the menu, for absolutely no reason other than the restaurant workers being huge fans of him. Pretty weird and cool.

SkittleMonkey 01-24-2007 04:15 AM

I remember seeing this truck that actually had a Chucky doll strapped standing up to the top of it. It scared the crap out of me until I figured out what it was...

Not weird or boring at all, Ducky. I'm a big history buff and I can't get enough of the majore battles our race has waged. I even collect arms and armour!:D

Partymember 01-24-2007 05:26 PM

crappy old sci-fi books out-of-print since the 70's. Maza of the Moon, the Kane series. Anything with a Frazetta cover :)

I treasure history. Sometimes I wonder if I got my degree in history, instead of Broadcast Journalism with a minor in History.:frankiesmile:

derangedperson 01-25-2007 10:03 PM

Hair metal and a good ballad--"You Sang To Me" especially.

Nathander 01-31-2007 06:03 AM

I love bad movies. I mean, just cheesy, over the top, poorly acted movies. I adore them, and I blame it on MST3k, which I watched since my childhood, for instilling a love of bad movies (or, at least, a love to make fun of and watch them) into me.

Curse you, Mike Nelson and Joel Hodgson! Curse you!

ah yes, MST3k. i think i saw that once, wish i saw it more often. why doesnt anyone show it anymore? ah well, im off to youtube.

before i go though, i admit to enjoying some pieces of liteture, such as "parrot in the oven." which is a GP because i constantly deny enjoying any kind of reading.
