I think most of us have heard the term, referring tosomething you like but are embarrassed to tell anyone. Now I’m referring to TV.Shows, films, music, books etc these types of things. Anything anyone want toshare?

My 3 (yeah I’ll limit it to 3) are…

1.      I watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey

2.      I read the end of books first to see if they areworthwhile reading

3.      I click on spoiler buttons…

Now that you know the awful truth I hope thefriends I have don’t “ unfriend” me.

Hey Sweet

You're not alone. I always read a magazine from the last page to the first.Not sure why.

now this is soooo embarassing, and I know Barry Cade will chastise me for it.....but I just have to watch Eastenders" if it's on. If I've missed it then fine, no great shakes, but if I'm sat down and Mrs Texax puts it on, then I'm hooked.

I sniff air conditioners when they're on. don't ask me why. I'm embarassed.

[backwoodsroamer]

1. I have ruined the ending of more books than you can imagine by reading ahead.

2. I watch a number of movies on The Lifetime Network, and enjoy them.

3. I cry when I hear Judy Garland sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Glad it was just three things and I didn't have to say anything about internet porn, oops.

[Sweetsister]

I am so glad its not just me who reads ahead...and that magazine thing, I go bac to front to...don't know why

As I've said before Sweetsister, there are two ways to look at this. Either we aren't as strange as we think or this forum is a magnet for weird people.

[Trillian]

Let's see...
1. I watch America's Next Top Model.
2. I cry over books and movies all the time.  A dog dies, I cry.  A person dies, I cry.  Someone cries, I cry.  OK, maybe not that last one.
3. We record almost everything on DVR, but sometimes, if my husband is out, I will watch a show live, but I won't mention that I already saw it when I watch it with my husband.  Sometimes, I just can't wait.

I often read the ending of a book, but I'm probably already bored with it and trying to decide if I'm going to quit reading.  I always click on spoiler buttons, but I have stayed away from the R&L Season 3 forum because I want to be surprised.

The latter.

Okay, so this is the only guilty pleasure I can think of... I secretly like  "You Needed Me" by Anne Murray.





I caught hell from my husband and my own mom on this one! I mean, it's just one stupid song by her. I don't like the rest or anything.

A classic.  One of mine:  



(And, of course, I didn't just spend about 20 minutes on YouTube listening to a variety of selections from Manilow, Streisand, and Diamond that popped up when I searched for this.  No, of course not.  ).  

Another guilty pleasure:

There are certain movies that come on TV that I just can't bring myself to turn off.  Jaws, Alien/s, Usual Suspects, Arsenic and Old Lace, the Indiana Jones series (except for that Crystal Skull nonsense), Star Wars, the Harry Potter series.  

I can't even guess how many times I have stayed up half the night because one of these films happened to be on.

Of course, there are any number of silly non-classics that I can get sucked into as well.  

(Unfortunately, this evening's viewing of The Hangover II will not follow into that category -- if I never see this piece of shite again, it will be too soon).

[Trippy]

Whenever I really need to cry, and I just can't get myself to, I watch the Notebook.

I usually cry at everything because I'm so sensitive, but that movie makes me blubber like a baby every single time. For some odd reason, I love it.

Hangover II  Was pretty redundant.

Have you read the book?  It will also make you blubber.  Crying is very cleansing.  The Time Traveler's Wife also makes me cry.  The book, not the movie.  The movie did not do the book justice.

[OMEN]

I have watched the last 4 seasons of American idol

And I have watched reruns of America's top model my wife chastise me for it

And I almost nearly cry at the end of Armageddon everyone I see it

I sometimes wikipedia books before I read them and know pretty much what's gonna happen

SO agreed.  How could they screw up such a beautiful book?  There was just so much nuance left out.  

Another good crier (and terrible movie rendition) is "The Lovely Bones" -- although I hesitate to recommend it to anyone with children.  It was pretty gut-wrenching, but a truly beautifully told and touching story.

[Kat]

Oh, and a new guilty pleasure?

Broken News Daily videos.  Silly, but mucho fun.

Having a daughter, I have stayed away from that one.

That movie liked to kill me. So sad. There was another movie from the 80's. It starred Kate Nelligan and Judd Hirsch. It was called Without a Trace and her son goes missing. Very heart wrenching story, it ends on a positive note though.

The Bridges of Madison County (the movie, I didn't read the book) was another one that always gets me. That scene at the intersection... that's when I get verklempt. LOL

[backwoodsroamer]

Okay since we're confessing. I like Anne Murray. Particularly Snowbird and A Little Good News.






Barry Manilow some, Copacabana and Mandy, I'm ashamed to say are two I liked.

Oh yeah, Omen, I don't just nearly, I do cry like a baby when they leave Bruce Willis on the asteroid at the end of Armageddon. The Lovely Bones too.

Dang, I'm turning out to be such a girly man.

Sorry BWR I just laughed at that Bruce Willis... how can I watch that film again??!

On another note, being Canadian I appreciate the props to Anne Murray

Oh, that's right, Bob Kerry. I think I mentioned before that I grew up in Omaha.

[daenerys]

Survivor.  I am totally addicted to the show and never miss an episode.

[Texaxile]

Don't start on the weepies!.

I always well up when I watch "Zulu" with Michael Caine, espeically the final few scenes and the reading out of the names of those awared the Victoria Cross.

"It's a wonderful life", first saw it when I was about 12 and blubbed like a baby, still get a bit choked up now , especially when he's stood on the bridge.
