Let me set this straight. I hate guilty pleasures, as you can clearly see by my subject line. Actually, I don't hate the things that people are ashamed of liking, I hate the fact that people think certain things are shameful to like. I have to disagree with the concept because of the fact that it is completely subjective. You can't quantify to any degree how cheesy something is, or what it ranks on a scale of guilty pleasures. So here it is.
I like a lot of what people call bad movies, and I don't make any secret of that fact. For example, I love the movie Jersey Girl. Is this an academy award winning movie? No. But I like the story, I like the actors. I have a soft spot for Ben Affleck for some reason. I just buy into him, he seems genuine. I also like Kevin Smith and George carlin, they are both fairly talented guys. The little girl who plays Gertie is adorable, and at certain points in the movie, I cry. Yeah, like a baby. Movies tend to usually evoke the emotions that directors want emoted from me. But I'm sure there are plenty of people who thought the movie was garbage, in particular the 15-19 year old Kevin Smith fans who did not get their fill of fart and penis jokes. I find it odd that some people feel they should be ashamed to listen to 1980's music or watch "cheesy" movies, or at least to admit it. Why like it in the first place if you blush when people find out. Guess what? Journey made some fucking hits in the 80's. Phil Collins, when not shaking his head listening to Republican Handjob, was busy rocking out and telling it like it is. And somehow this should be kept secret, lest people think you aren't a hipster. So I'll rock out to YES, because Owner of a Lonely Heart is on channel 622, the 80's music station, and I'll tell you from the top of a mountain, and there will be people playing flutes, and you won't be invited!
Lauren wanted me to shout her and Lindsay out because they figured out I was blogging. They are both separately playing on a pink Nintendo DS. Yes two of them. So shout out to them. This is for him: "In your face!" Yeah I taight him to say that. 15 months old people, he's off the charts.
