Don't know what that says about me.

Sounds like a well-rounded individual to me...

I deliberately didn't put book adaptations because I feel like the original source material defines me more than the adaptations...

although I was very tempted to put Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. It was cut in favor of Mallrats.

I also feel like guilty pleasures are those films where they don't have any redeeming values except making you happy. White Chicks is a big one of mine. I never pass up White Chicks if it's on cable.

But I do love all of your guilty pleasures.

Fair warning, Marvel owns the rights to Blade so I'm sure at some point, they'll do a reboot.

Thanks for your comments. I put my guilty pleasures as such because they are not considered, by some to be age appropriate for a "grandma".

My latest guilty pleasure are K-dramas and although some feature downright silly social and romantic situations, they do have redeeming qualities.

I forgot to put Josie and The Pussycats, Undercover Brother, House Party 1, 2 and 3, and the Spice Girls movies as my guilty pleasures. Love all of them and watch every time they come on. Don't care who knows.
