Guilty pleasures, pt. 2

[corianderstem]

I confess that I recently put Prince of Tides on my Netflix list, then bumped it up relatively high on the list. I felt almost embarrassed over it, but then I remembered why I was renting it. You want to talk about guilty pleasures? Nick Nolte

Lowenstein ... Lowenstein ...

The movie was pretty good, despite Babs' scary fingernails. I did quite like Nick Nolte in that. Mm-hmm.

(But the book was sooooo much better. Naturally. )

Have you never heard of Prince?????

 

[Dalton]

Jay-Z's What More Can I Say is in my top 10 of favorite songs ever.

There. I said it.

 

[U2isthebest]

Have you never heard of Prince?????

No, never. Who's that?

But there's this Irish band.....

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

No, never. Who's that?

But there's this Irish band.....

The Corrs?

 

[corianderstem]

No, she means Thin Lizzy. Duh.

 

[U2isthebest]

Wrong, both of you.

I was clearly talking about The Cranberries

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

oh, how foolish of me... It was that or The Chieftans...

 

[corianderstem]

Dang, I can't believe I missed that one. Why can't I read your mind yet????

Excuse me, but I have to go back to singing "Xanadu" at the top of my lungs now.

 

[U2isthebest]

Dang, I can't believe I missed that one. Why can't I read your mind yet????

Excuse me, but I have to go back to singing "Xanadu" at the top of my lungs now.

Shame on you. I thought I was completely transparent.

And you thought Pan's Labyrinth had kick-ass special effects?!?!??!?!

 

[corianderstem]

I've never actually seen the movie. But I hear it's got roller skating!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

They should remake all movies on roller skates...

 

[U2isthebest]

They should remake all movies on roller skates...

I will not rest until The Shawshank Redemption is re-shot in Skateland.

 

[corianderstem]

Roller skates in Ben Hur would make that chariot race a whole lot more interesting.

 

[U2isthebest]

I've never actually seen the movie. But I hear it's got roller skating!

And Olivia Newton-John as an alien...

not sure how much of a stretch that was...


I can't believe I just made fun of Olivia Newton-John.

 

[U2isthebest]

Roller skates in Ben Hur would make that chariot race a whole lot more interesting.

not as interesting as Scarlett O'Hara fleeing the burning mansion on some ass-kicking skates.

 

[corianderstem]

Bwa ha haaaa!

And please ... how can you NOT make fun of Oliva Newton-John? At least in Xanadu?

 

[U2isthebest]

Bwa ha haaaa!

And please ... how can you NOT make fun of Oliva Newton-John? At least in Xanadu?

she's a sweet blonde Australian girl. How COULD you?


American Idol guest judge, anyone?

 

[corianderstem]

No matter how sweet and charming and nice she is, there will always be Xanadu hanging over her head. And we should make fun of her just for that.

 

[U2isthebest]

There's loads more than Xanadu... I was just trying to hold out as long as possible.

the "Physical" video?

who the hell am I kidding...the song "Physical"....it makes me want to stab my ear drums with a spork.

 

[Regina Filangie]

Have you never heard of Prince?????

Not really sure if my comment was deserving of your sarcasm, but yes Prince - great artist, repeat offender of this annoying trend.

"when people use "U" instead of "you" and "2" instead of "to"......

Fully aware of the U2 connection here, but they are exempt from all things that usually would bother me, including this.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm sorry you took that as sarcasm. It was meant in fun.

Guess my winky smiley should have been there, instead of just implied.

 

[LemonMelon]

Txt spk makes me angry. It's part of the dumbening of our society.

I knew what you meant, but it struck me as ironic that you mentioned how much it bothers you (and me too, actually), yet your/our favorite band is probably the best know example of said pet peeve.
