Guilty Pleasures

Posted: 9/11/03 at 6:29pm

I will be the first to own up to bombs I loved

In no particular order

1. The Civil War
2. DOTV
3. Rockabye Hamlet

More to follow . By the way, I made Broadway Star without realizing it . That makes up for having to deal with the world's most moronic boss in history. I will always remember what he said in the job interview - "I do not want my company to grow any bigger". Here is a real brain surgeon . The only man in the world who owns a company & does not want it to grow. Reason is he is a micromanager of the highest order & he needs it that small so he can control every aspect of it. Mr Mc Murphy, time for your medication

If we are owning up I have to admit my loving of two bombs weren't in the theatre. They were movies. The Blob and Buckaroo Bonzai.
Sorry I know, but true.

The awwwwwful Rage of the Heart concept CD with Michael Ball.

I get immense joy from listening to such drivel.

Man, have you hit a topic for me. It seems that a LOT of the shows/movies I like other consider bombs.

Knightriders–not the car. It was the first movie that Ed Harris starred in. A traveling Ren Fest with motorcycles. I’m not into the cycles but I loved the message of the movie. “I’m fighting the dragon!” the king, Sir William (Ed Harris) says and I understand him 100%

EnemyMine–Dennis Quaid/Louis Gossett, Jr. At first glance I thought it was a remake of an old Star Trek show, “Arena”. Lizard man VS Human but it’s so much more. Two mortal enemies stranded on a desolate planet, each with little or no hope of rescue. Hate turns to reliance on each other to grudging respect and that turns to friendship and understanding. It’s a great movie.

Just two of my guilty pleasures.

The Goodbye Girl: I'm sorry, I love that show's music. I know it was a totaly bomb, but hey it's a guilty pleasure!

I have a soft spot for Metro myself. I think it was the flying ballet in black light.

And Jennie, the Mary Martin musical based on the life of Laurette Taylor...

Mamma Mia!

Film:
Can't Stop The Music (but of course)
The Legend of Lylah Clare - Kim Novak, Peter Finch, Rosella Falk, Coral Browne, Michael Murphy among others in the most fabulously bad Hollywood movie ever and that's saying quite a lot.

Dof,
Oh my gawd, I remember ENEMY MINE! Remember when Louis Gossett has a baby and Dennis Quaid raises it? Hee, hee, that one it definitely a guilty pleasure.

THE DEAD ZONE - Christopher Walken at his creepy, but not TOO creepy, best.

REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS (TV movie) - It was like a car wreck, I could not turn away! I was RIVITED! It was so bad that it was beautiful!

XANADU - of course!
"Do you know ChrisLovesShows?" "Yes. Why, yes he does!"

Sleepaway Camp! The BEST worse horror film EVER EVER made! The end is so shocking you will die, literally die laughing!

also liked BUCKAROO BONZAI and XANADU and GREASE 2 ("Coo-ooo-ooo-ool Rider" Miss Pfeiffer!).

Enjoyed GOODBYE GIRL's performances a lot, both Peters and Short were way beyond the material.

Hey Chris! Yea, I forgot to mention that it had a twist. Great movie. I just bought it at Walmart in the $5.00 DVD bin but haven't set down to watch it again. Guilty Pleasures "Zammis get four, five?"

I guess I should have also mentioned DOTV but I don't really consider it bad --I liked it--or a guilty pleasure so it didn't fit the thread.

Ahhh...yes...the flying Ballet in Metro was breathtaking.

As for the Dead Zone..I think that was a pretty well reviewed movie...so I wouldn't feel too guilty.

Just thought of my two biggest..non theater related...guilty pleasures.

Definitly Grease 2! I organized "Girl For All Seasons" for our talent show in 6th grade. :-P And a movie that I would actually almost consider a musical, but not quite, Get Over It. I ADORE this film with its cheesyness (I've never tried to spell that word before and I think I've failed at spelling it right), silly songs and musical sequences, and of course: Martin Short! It really is hilarious despite its ridiculouness.

Rob,

"Sleep Away Camp"...OMG, I thought I was the only one that was completely mesmermized by such a trashy, tasteless movie. I remember watching it at a slumber party when I was 13...Let's just say we re-played the ending numerous times. re: re: re: Guilty Pleasures

Believe it or not, I saw the original production of METRO when I was visiting Poland. As I don't speak Polish, I couldn't understand a word of it. I really can't judge its merits.

I saw it & it made no sense in English either. Maybe Swahili might do it
