Revealling guilty pleasures

In an effort to prove I’m a victim of the Peter Pan syndrome … a list of some of my guilty pleasures …

Music

  • Spice Girls
  • Really weird pop from the 1970s, i.e. “Kung-Fu Fighting,” “Convoy” “Chick-a-boom.”
  • Blue Oyster Cult
  • Phil Collins
  • Disney’s “Beauty & The Beast” soundtrack

TV

  • Crocodile Hunter
  • Leave It To Beaver
  • Brady Bunch
  • That
    Food Network TV show where they talk about the origins of various foods
    & restaurants. Hosted by the guy who used to be on “Double Dare”
  • “Girls Gone Wild” commercials  

Movies

  • Midnight Madness (With that guy from the Dr. Pepper commercials)
  • Movies about drug addiction (Less than Zero, Requeim for A Dream, etc.)
  • Muppet movies.
  • Movies with swords. Any movie with a sword, especially in an anacranistic fashion a la “Just Visiting” with Jean Reno.
  • Disco movies.
  • Scavenger hunt movies (Like that one with Cuba Gooding Jr. or “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World”)
  • Buckaroo Banzai, Jake Speed, Remo Williams, Hudson Hawk and Big Trouble in Little China

Books

  • Destroyer novels. Bad writing, good characterization.
  • Fairy tales.
  • Children’s
    literature from before I was born. (I’m reading a 1959 novel called
    “Revolt on Alpha C” by Robert Silverberg right now. … And you’ve all
    seen my “Heidi” thread, right?)

Hobbies

  • Making Shrinky Dinks
  • Painting a Christmas Village.
