Guilty pleasures

[Dannyalcatraz]

We all have them: movies, books or songs that we love, despite (or because) of their badness.

I'm indulging in one now: 2006's sci-fi non-classic, Ultraviolet.

It is sooooooo very bad...but it's highly stylized fight choreography is sooooooo beautiful (even the ones they messed up).

How about y'all?

Me too! That movie is so embarrasing and akward. And yet, I love it. It feels as if everything in it was just a tiny bit off center and if I could just look at it from the right angle it would turn out right.

But yeah, guilty pleasures. There's these two sci-fi movies. Both are really bad. But so good. Dark Angel/I Come In Peace, and Nemesis (from 1992).

Starship Troopers, for example.

Ummm anything except Under Siege with Seagal? Anything by JeanClaude Van Damme (besides Bloodsport)?

Knock Off (1998) - IMDb is a classic!

& Against the Dark (Video 2009) - IMDb is amazing... Steven Seagal zombie hunter name Tao

Oh...and Half Past Dead (2002) - IMDb

Blood Sport and Under Siege are very good IMO so don't fall under the "so bad they're good" rule.

D&D Fiction.

... although "love" is much too strong. I would say something more like "tolerate and enjoy because I lower my standards and so am not always terribly disappointed."

Wonder how much D&D fiction is actually read by people who do not play any D&D games at all.

I've met Dragonlance fans who didn't realize there was a game.

I've met Dragonlance fans who didn't realize there was a game.

More than a decade ago, I've met quite a number of individuals who read stuff like Dragonlance and the Drizzit novels, but who had zero interest in playing D&D or any rpg games.

In recent years, I haven't come across many such individuals.

It's better than the live-action Aeon Flux movie.

How about y'all?

I'm a classicist -- Hawk the Slayer, man!

Agreed on both counts!
