The challenge was to discuss your most guilty pleasure, but naming just one was too difficult. So I'm listing various pleasures and we'll put each of them on trial to determine whether they should be classified as Guilty or Not Guilty.
Defendant #1. Showgirls - Not the regular version. It has to be the VH1 version with the cartoon bras and panties painted (badly) on all the strippers. It's also better with large portions of the movie cut out so it makes even less sense.
Prosecution: What? Was Tiffani Amber Thiessen busy? (She'll always have the "Amber" in my heart.)
Defense: Who could anyone pass up Jessie Spano as a stripper? A stripper who licks stripper poles. A stripper who licks stripper poles and dreams of being a true Vegas showgirl.
Verdict: Not Guilty - At least I only catch it when it's on TV and don't own the DVD.
Defendant #2. Catwoman - Her outfit is S&M-riffic!
Prosecution: Halle Berry is no Michelle Pfeiffer. Michelle Pfeiffer was the kick-assingest Catwoman of all time.
Defense: In the movie, Catwoman goes to a bar and orders a "white russian, hold the vodka, hold the kahlua." Get it?! GET IT?! She just ordered a glass of cream! It's genius!
Verdict: Not Guilty - It's so bad it's good.
Defendant #3. Manhunt.net - I love personal ads. It's like people watching without having to leave the house! And Manhunt is personal ads with slutty pictures! What's not to love?
Prosecution: Your pubes get itchy just looking at some of those profiles.
Defense: It's not like I'm meeting anyone from it! I just like it for the people watching aspect! (And the slutty pictures.)
Verdict: Guilty - Browsing at home is one thing. Browsing on the train is another. Get a more exciting life.
Defendant #4. Your mom jokes that make no sense - "Hey, do you know where Joe is?" "I think he's at the dining hall." "I'd like to dine in your mom's halls." "Dude you suck."
Prosecution: Your mom jokes are old and unoriginal.
Defense: Your mom's old and unoriginal.
Verdict: Not Guilty - Nothing beats a perfectly timed your mom joke.
Defendant #5. Sci-Fi Original Movies - Including Pterodactyl
Prosecution: In Pteodactyl, Coolio is a marine who fights a swarm of reanimated pterodactyls.
Defense: What about Coolio fighting pterodactyls did you not understand?
Verdict: Guilty - L.L. Cool J fighting genetically altered super sharks is one thing. Coolio fighting pterodactyls is another.
Defendant #6. The Look Who's Talking Movies - Yes, all three of them! Yes, even the one where the dogs are talking!
Prosecution: Babies and dogs talking. Enough said.
Defense: John Travolta used to be quite charming! Kirstie Alley chugs a whole bottle of apple juice!
Verdict: Not Guilty - Two words: Talking. Sperm.
I thought I was the only person in the world absolutely in love with cartoon bras! And who can knock Sci-Fi movies? they keep Tom Wopat working!
Craig another great job. Youmama jokes are just lame though
i just "found" your blog... and OMG.. where have you been all my life.
i think you're the funniest, the cutest and the dorkiest... and i'm in love :)
you've won my vote... good luck!!!
p.s. the badly drawn cartoon bras and panties are my fave too!! i have a showgirls party once a year... we just watch the movie and get drunk everytime nomi shows her tits, or says fuck, or storms out of a room... it changes each party... i also give prizes for the best nomi impression... every year it's hilarious at people doing the choreographed hard-hitting moves and grunts - i almost pee my pants everytime!!
anyhow, it's not my favorite movie.. but definitely my most guiltiest pleasure.
and i've met one of the male dancers in the movie quite a few times! his name is tyce diorio... he's hot.. and he danced on janet jackson's velvet rope tour.. good time!
