Movies What I Like That People Make Fun of Me For:

Josie and the Pussycats -- DuJour means crash positions!

Orange County -- on writing and home and getting away from home and gay surfers

Drumline -- ONE BAND! ONE SOUND!

American Outlaws -- Gabriel Macht's Frank James is smoking hot. Seriously.

Matrix Reloaded -- The twins, man. The twins. Also Agent Elrond Smith.

Mystery Men -- Disco is not dead! Disco is life! Also, Ms. Garafalo.

The Replacements -- Because apparently I'm totally a sucker for movies where the official team goes on strike and the games have to be played by replacement players. This is also totally true of that one movie with Kathy Ireland and Scott Bakula, both Major League movies, and really, any movie that involves a cast of misfits playing sports and discovering that they are truly awesome and the equal of professional players if they just want it enough. See also: Angels in the Outfield (both versions), The Mighty Ducks, A League of Their Own, Iron Ladies, etc etc etc. Okay, so maybe I am just a sucker for earnest sports movies.

I have seen half of those movies more than once. Icannot, therefore, judge.

I am such a sucker for all those sports movies you listed. I am actually just a sucker for sports movies in general. I loved the ones which came out around the same time as Angels in the Outfield. The one where the kid inherited a baseball team. And Rookie of the Year (whose star was on Grey's earlier this season and it totally drove me nuts trying to figure out where I knew him from and why I liked him so darn much automatically).

Ah, the movie in question would be "Necessary Roughness."

Yeah, the earnest sports movie is a favorite genre of mine which is why I'll watch all the Rocky movies (except for the one with Mr. T) over and over again; especially the one with Dolph Lundgren in it because, hey, Dolph!

On my list I'd include: The Longest Yard (the original, dammit), The Sandlot, and The Bad News Bears (again, the original), Bud Greenspan's Olympic films - not exactly underdoggish but they have their moments, Hoosiers.

I love The Replacements if only for the jailhouse dance scene.

[galadhir.livejournal.com]

Mystery Men is fabulous. I *am* the PMT avenger :) Oh now I've realized I need MM icons. Damn!

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

We'll pretend that last comment didn't happen. *Just lubs you instead.*

[galadhir.livejournal.com]

Sorry? What was wrong with my comment?

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Noo! Not you! I posted a comment that was all html-screwy and then deleted it. It's just me being dippy.

[galadhir.livejournal.com]

Oooh, sorry! Talk about paranoid :) My comment was clearly all too true at the moment. Sorry!

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha! The world is out get you! There's someone watching me right now...
Ah, it's my boss. Back to work. *cough*

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

ONE BAND! ONE SOUND! There is more to that movie than JC on the soundtrack! There is Orlando Jones, being FABULOUS!

Does your earnest sports movie thing extend to hockey, because I tell you, I cried watching Miracle and I could use some company.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I have never seen Miracle! I did see that Alaskan hockey movie with Russell Crowe and Hank Azaria, though.

Is Miracle terribly earnest? 'Cause that'd be awesome.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*smooches* I love D.E.B.S. as well! But people don't make fun of me for that one :)

Oh oh oh, Scud is going to be in a new movie about killer video games! I'm SO EXCITED.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* I heart Mystery Men so much! Disco Tony! Waffle Man and his syrup of justice! William H Macy being awesome! Janeane Garafalo! Eddie Izzard! It's such a *happy* movie.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

The jailhouse dance scene is awesome.

And yes! Necessary Roughness! I heart it so. The Rockys are awesome, The Sandlot is also awesome, and I somehow managed to miss the Bad News Bears and the Longest Yard.

And oh, Hoosiers. *cuddles it*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g*

Oh, Rookie of the Year. *hearts* I'm all torn, because the sports movie loving part of me wants to see The Greatest Game Ever Played, but that almost looks too earnest. And it is about golf, so I am kind of like, "Hmmmm."

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

Drumline is awesome. And I watch The Replacements whenever TBS reruns it.

[cosmic.livejournal.com]

Josie and the Pussycats ROCKS! DuJour means cleanliness!

All sport movies about misfits ROCK. And I always shed at least one tear during the Last Big Game. and, um, really, at any oppurtunity.

Also, I'll go one step beyond American Outlaws, which, yes, I loved, and say I love every Colin Farrell movie ever made. Yeah.

Or maybe we're just really lame.

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

Dude, Miracle is the story of the 1980 US Hockey victory over the ev0l russians - earnest doesn't even begin to cover it.

I really like the Alaskan movie with Russell Crowe. It's probably the only DEK script I unabashedly enjoy. Plus, I heart Russell Crowe.

[curry-chicken.livejournal.com]

Reloaded, Replacements and Orange County...I pity the fools that mock us! That shiz is guilty pleasurez like woah.

[coniraya.livejournal.com]

Okay I'll admit I'm right there with you on Josie, also for my list CenterStage I love it so much and everyone makes fun of me for it.!
Oh and Bring It On

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I want to see it as I have an inexplicable love for Shia Lebouf. But yeah the golf thing did give me pause.

[harriet-spy.livejournal.com]

But...but..."Drumline" has the girl doing one-armed pushups! Who doesn't love that???

Also, "Lap Dance": v. cute.

[secondhandred.livejournal.com]

I was sent here after putting this message in someones journal. They told me that you might be the one that posted it in their journal. Think you can help?---

I may just be reading wrong, or not reading at all. But I see that you have the words FEMSLAHS and The books A Great and Terrible Beauty/ Rebel Angels on your list. I woke up today in great need of femslash from those two books. Fiction and Role Play. I think you're the only person on the planet that's even come close to it. Do you think you could help me out?

I mean there's slash and fem slash for damn Wizard of Oz, why not these books? Thank you in anyway you can help, and sorry if I came on a bit strong.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

OMG. You made an SGA vid; how did I miss this? *saves it*

Also, d'you have the mp3 for "Consequence Free" around? I tried to find the CD it's from, but my library doesn't have it.

[kattahj.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the vid links! I lost them from my hard drive and have been missing them, but didn't want to bother you about it. Am so glad to have them back!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'm glad to help :)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I brought them up at the Escapade femslash yay! panel but haven't written any myself. I did, however, ask fox1013 and she provided me with links!

http://community.livejournal.com/spenceacademy/

I also know that twinkledru wrote fic and I know that fox1013, pearl_o, twinkledru, and some others are very pro-Great and Terrible Beauty fic.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Heee. I made a v. v. shallow SGA vid.

And the mp3 for Consequence Free está aquí:

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Anyone who doesn't love the girl doing one-armed pushups is no friend of mine.

And Lap Dance makes me happy in its shallowness.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* I would have put Bring It On on the list, but no one makes fun of me for it. Because it is an AWESOME MOVIE FULL OF JOY.

Also, Eliza Dushku and Gabrielle Union. It is very hard not to love a movie that has them in it.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Heeee. It's SO TRUE. Because they are happy movies! and happy is good!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Du Jour means seatbelts!

And we're totally not lame. We just have good taste :)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

That's because *you* are awesome.

*mwah*

[secondhandred.livejournal.com]

I read that story. It's too bad nobody else is writing on the community, it'd be great if they were.

[polaris-starz.livejournal.com]

♥ ♥ ♥

[sorcha-feanor.livejournal.com]

I love every one of those movies too!! We are totally "Movies What I Like That People Make Fun of Me For" twins!!

I too am a sucker for earnest sports movies.

[annaalamode.livejournal.com]

Not as awesome as you are.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Woo! Those are the most awesome movies!

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

I really like the Ronon vid. :D

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*beam* Thank you :) I keep wanting to make another one to "rock star." Because there's just something about Ronon that screams N.E.R.D. to me.
