Meme of guilt

[dilickjm]

Should have had this on other meme, but, oh well.

Culinary Guilt: IHOP, Beef & Cheddar.
Explain yourself: Roast Beef, Cheddar Cheese, Sourdough Bread, Parmesan Butter. Sinful. Also, it's been off the menu for over 5 years, but they'll still make it for me. (Aside: Seriously, I have no name there. I'm just "Beef & Cheddar Guy". I get my food FAST though, since they start making it when I walk in!)

Literary Guilt: I'll avoid the obvious Robert Jordan answer, and go with L.E. Modesitt, Jr.
Explain yourself: He's a hack, yet I really enjoy reading his stuff when the mood strikes me. The onomatopoeia will never stop being jarring, though.

TV/Movie Guilt: The Fifth Element
Explain yourself: Never has a movie so bad been so good. Colorful, expansive, scene-chewing goodness.

Musical Guilt: Linkin Park
Explain yourself: God, they suck. So why can't I stop singing/humming/tapping along with their stuff?

Celebrity Guilt: Jessica Alba
Explain yourself: As a practicing heterosexual male, I feel no need to defend my stance here.

You should feel guilty about Modesitt, The Fifth Element, and Linkin Park. I can't speak to the B&C, and Jessica Alba is not un-hot.

Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch.

If they were toally cool choices, they wouldn't BE guilty pleasures.

(Ms. Alba is only in there with guilt due to my marital status.)

TV/Movie Guilt: The Fifth Element

You need to take a class with my Science and Religion professor. He's seen that movie easily two dozen times, and every time he finds meaning: the darkness, the four elements, the Divine Language, the diva, the Mondoshawans (whom I ended up comparing to angels in a paper, believe it or not), the "perfection" imagery, and of course, the Fifth Element itself.

Aristotelian (technically, Ptolemy's) cosmology held that in the Celestial Realms, beyond the orbit of the moon around the earth, the heavens were filled with Ether, or the Quintessence. Quint-Essense. Fifth Element.

Well, it's CLEARLY derivative of all kinds of shit. That doesn't mean it fails to suck in any significant way. I could make a movie with a hero named Jesus; won't make it good.
