Top 5 - Guilty Pleasures

I was watching Nostalgia Critic's review on Moulin Rouge, basically, he hated the movie with a passion but during the review they brought in 2 guest reviewers trying to defend the movie saying that its a good, fun movie and all, until about halfway into the review, they where starting to turn against the film, but its not until the end that they still like the movie, then they break into song about that they like the movie because its a guilty pleasure. Encase you guys don't know, A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes. Fashion, video games, music, movies, and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.


Anyway, the video inspired me to create this list, this list pretty much speaks for itself, it is based on my personal opinion, whether you guys like it or not, besides, I need to post something new, since I nearly posted nothing for like a month...Sorry. So without further ado, lets start the list.

5. The Wizard

Of all the bad movies that I watched over the years, there is always something uncomfortable about admitting of liking the movie, I know for the fact that its a really bad movie. I know many video game fans tore this movie apart, saying the movie is really a really big commercial for Nintendo, they are right, and pretty much most of the time the facts of the movie is generally wrong, like how you could get 50k points on Double Dragon in less than 2 minutes, most of the wrong facts are ok, but the one part that always get me everytime is this part, it just does not make sense!!! Honestly, what the fuck was he talking about!?

Yeah I know my nerd rage is showing but the thing is, its fun to pick this movie apart, especially with friends, and I love the peoples reaction to the old man in the speedo (btw, sorry for the image). For a movie, it is a bad movie, but as a party "Camp/Cult/So Bad That is Good" movie night, I recommend watching this one, you won't be disappointed.

4. Pokemon

I will admit to everyone, it was a trend, a phase that I went through, I am pretty sure everyone around my age where playing Pokemon games on the Gameboy, I remember when everyone was collecting Pokemon cards (I have a few myself), and there was the Anime...my god that show was absolute crap and that ruined Pokemon for everyone, when everyone thinks of Pokemon, they think of the crap show. To me,  I'm a fan of the games than the show, now the reason why is this on my list is because when I admit something like this to the public, they are going to go all low brow and think of the show than the games, people need to admit the games are fun. I generally enjoy it. For the record, I only played Pokemon up to Pokemon Yellow, I never went beyond that, so I only know the first 151 Pokemons. I am glad I am friends of people that openly admits that they like Pokemon.


To sum it all up, I like the games, the show can kiss my ass!

3. Wrestling Video Games

I love video games, and I love wrestling games. I will admit that I like video games and like wrestling to the public. But for some reason when I go out to buy a new wrestling game, I feel embarrassed! I guess I know for the fact that wrestling is fake, and many people look at it as kids stuff...I guess, and the thing is, most the games are meh (the last good WWE/F game was WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain), I hear everyone asking "Y U PLEH RESTLIN GAYM!?"....I love the CAW feature...now for those who are not in the know, CAW stands for "Create-A-Wrestler", it kind of speaks for itself, its a feature that YOU can create your own wrestler, it was a addiction since WWF Warzone came out, my brother and I would create our own wrestlers and we would fight each other, it was a good time fun.

Sad thing is, many wrestling games did not age that well, Warzone is crap by today's standards...so what do I do? BUY MORE WRESTING GAMES!!!! because they always update the CAW feature and right now its so advance that you could make your own Ring in the new WWE 12', and as a fool, I am going to buy it, even knowing the fact that the game is just meh.

2. Nu-Metal

Once upon a time back in Middle School, I was an angry strapping young lad, I was rebelling against my parents, my teachers, and my friends...I wish I was :p it wasn't until High School when that stuff happens. Anyway, back in Middle school, I listened to allot of bands like Limp Bizkit, Creed, Korn, Staind, I thought I was cool because I thought the music was cool and I looked down on everyone, I was just cool in my own mind. I thought listening to this was the coolest thing in the world, until I get a load of this.

They seriously changed my ways and I became a true metal head, and I threw away all those crap CDs that I have and listen to stuff like Sepultura, Slayer, Megadeth, it was like a divine intervention. I completly closed out of the whole Nu-Metal shit, and realize there was a difference between good shit and the shit that MTV spoon-fed me, MTV and I where no longer friends back then and I have not let them back into my life...thank goodness! Beyond the end of High School (roughly my early 20s) I decided to look upon my years and realize how much I changed over the years, I look at the music and I realized that there was an evolution in my taste of music, and I decided to take a listen to my old Nu-Metal music, it kind of rekindle my interest and I looked up and see where most the bands are at nowadays, and being shocked that some of my favorites broke up. So yeah, I do like Nu-Metal music for what it is, I know its bad music but I think its fun to listen to. Just don't expect me to admit it in front of hardcore metalhead at a Manowar concert.




and now... NUMBER 1# Drum Roll please

1. Cyndi Lauper

Ok, here is something that is need to be said, I...think Cyndi Lauper is hot!!! You can have your Katy Perry, you can have your Natalie Portmen, or whatevers on Maxim's Top 100 list. I think Cyndi Lauper is the hottest girl in the world, even nowadays she actually looks good. Plus, I personally love her personality, I love her fashion, I am generally in love with her, I know I could never have her, but if I ever meet her in-person, I would just for shits and giggles, ask her in a hand of marriage. Now, I hear you asking "do you like her music" yes...yes I do, I love "She Bop", "Time After Time", and yes..."Girls Just Want to Have Fun".






But the cream of the crop is "Goonies R Good Enough", because The Goonies is one of my all time favorite movies and that song was get me out of the blues, it was my call back from reality, it makes me remember that I should never give up and never say die. I am also a fan of the music video, I think the video was epic especially the cameo of WWF wrestlers like Andre The Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Iron Sheik...it just tickles the wrestling fan in me.




So this concludes my list!! I hope you enjoy my list, if you guys like it, I will make more!!
