1. What movie are you embarrassed to admit that you love?

I don't have a lot of embarrassment when it comes to movies - I love every cheesy romance movie out there and I'm proud of it.  The most embarrassing may be Princess Diaries?  Is that embarrassing?

2. What TV show cancellation were you most upset by?

Jericho

3. What is that one movie that you will watch any time it's on TV even though you've seen it so many times you could recite it by heart?

Dirty Dancing

1. What movie are you embarrassed to admit that you love?
I have to say the last twilight movie. I like the story there but I can't stand the portrayal of vampires being "sparkly" lol.

2. What TV show cancellation were you most upset by?
There are so many...ugh I can't think of a specific one I was most upset by but a couple I remember off the top of my head was "The Dead Zone" and going old school "Xena" X_X


3. What is that one movie that you will watch any time it's on TV even though you've seen it so many times you could recite it by heart?

OMG, I almost picked Jericho for #2!  The only reason I didn't is because I watched it as a marathon after it was canceled, so I was prepared going into it...but it was still very disappointing!  Also, #3 could easily make my list.

1. Hmmm... for some reason I'm not overly embarrassed of my movie choices, but I guess Bring it on and Drop Dead Gorgeous could be considered guilty pleasures. I also really enjoy cheesy horror movies, such as Tremors and Sleepaway Camp. Sorry, I couldn't pick one!

2. The New Normal. I really enjoy the family shows "with a twist" (ie Modern Family, Raising Hope, Trophy Wife); they're easy to follow and give me a strange sense of hope that we'll one day have our weird family. The New Normal was really endearing.

3. A three way tie between Anchorman, Amélie and Love, Actually. To take our mind off of  things, we're going to go see Anchorman 2 in theatres on xmas day heheh

anitaflora

Thanks this is fun

1. Jerry McGuire - that just came on the other day and I couldn't help but watch it. It's so sappy but just sucks me in. And oh Tom Cruise, how things have changed for you. But he was still super handsome lol. Also Meet Me in St. Louis.

2. Lost.

3. Tie between Waking Life (although I know that's a pretty obscure movie that I am guessing hardly anyone knows), and Raising Arizona.

@anitaflora I loved LOST.  Just curious, besides being sad to see it end, were you satisfied with the ending?  I was, but I know a lot of people weren't.

I was so sad when Jericho was cancelled....and then it came back....and then it was no more....so sad.

Awesome choices; I haven't watched Waking Life in so long! Also, big fan of the Coen brothers here; matter of fact, I could probably recite most of Fargo, as it's one of my all-time favourite movies.

megrae12

1. My guilty pleasure movie/movies the Step up series, I am hooked once I watch them. It's shameful!

2. Moonlight. Not a recent cancellation but it was a good show. My second choice for this would be Firefly.

3. Couples Retreat. I FREAKING love that movie!!!

I guess I wasn't really dissatisfied with the way the story itself ended, as in a broad sense - as in the way the plot went - I was okay with that. But sort of how they executed it - I don't know - I felt like they could have gotten to the end point in a better way if that makes sense? It was so long ago now I have a hard time remembering specifics to back up my point, but I just felt like, "Well, okay, that's fine, I'm okay with that... but it could have been done better / differently maybe."

I definitely thought it was highly confusing (as was the entire last season) but once I read a good explanation and re-watched it, I liked it.   :P

@zapgurl44 - I also love Harry Potter. I don't think that's something to be embarrassed over!

I feel like I'm too old to still love the series. So excited for the wizarding wold of HP to make it to Southern California.

I dressed up as Heather Gummer (Reba McEntire's character) for Halloween a few years ago hahaha my "gun" was a toy that shot marshmallows....nerd alert!

@lifeofcat, Reba is the reason I was obsessed the that movie

Thanks! Oh Fargo!! Good one too!! And awesome that you know Waking Life! It's not like a "let's break this out at a party" kinda movie lol but I just got sucked in by the artistry and vignettes and it's been a favorite ever since.

I'm going to have to rewatch it sometime - I don't think I ever did and it deserves at least a rewatching!

It's not as visually enticing, but if you enjoy the "conversation" aspect of it, I recommend Coffee & Cigarettes. It has some great cameos, from Bill Murray to Iggy Pop!

Smash was cancelled???  I had no idea.  I watched Season 1 and was thinking of picking it up again at some point.  Also, I heard the soundtrack from that show on the radio recently...is it being made into a real show or something??

jlworden710

1. What movie are you embarrassed to admit that you love?

Any of the cheesy dance movies.... Step Up, Bring it on... and Center Stage! for those of you that werent aware there is a Center Stage 2... you are welcome! 

ALSO.... ANY Lifetime movie, give me a weekend with nothing to do and you will find me infront of the TV watching Lifetime movies. .. 

2. What TV show cancellation were you most upset by? Reba.... I know, but more recently they didnt renew Deception, after one season, when it all just got good?! that was annoying!

alm288

Sorry I am traveling and using my phone - no pics.

1. Pretty in Pink (cheesy 80s movie)

2. My So Called Life (was obsessed with that show in high school - loved it!!!!!) lately - Smashed

3. Breakfast Club


So I guess my list really revolved around the 80's.

Smash was great!!! I don't know why they cancelled it after two seasons. I love musicals and broadway - was such a great show!!
