Vox Hunt: Please Don't Make Me Watch
Video: Show us a movie or show that you absolutely can't stand watching.
Submitted by Ross.
Man, I don't know if I can pick just one. I hate to confess this, but I am really a stuck-up, high-standards, judgmental bitch when it comes to media (music, movies, TV, art, books, etc.). I'm not sure how I got this way, really. I mean, I used to watch The A-Team and Who's the Boss? just like everyone else.
The chances are that whatever TV show most people love, I hate it. I make an exception for Grey's Anatomy because I can appreciate a thoroughly over-the-top but well-written and witty show as much as the next gal. But that show Scrubs? Why does everyone love that? It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. OK, I don't know about that, but it's stupid, stupid, stupid; I loathe it. Oh, and Jackass? Few things have made me want to throw rocks and G&Ts at my TV more than that show.
As for movies, it's hard to think of one that I can't stand watching, because I wouldn't watch it a second time, I guess, so I wouldn't have to (stand it). I suppose there is Romeo Must Die, which is a pretty bad movie, but I keep watching it because Jet Li is the hottest thing on two legs, and I will watch him do his thing no matter how bad the surrounding movie. I do fast-forward through some of the "plot", admittedly, and then I watch the action sequences over and over. Fortunately I do this alone, because surely this behavior would really annoy any viewing partner (unless they shared my feelings, I suppose) and also because Jet Li makes me squishy in a way that would be awkward to share with anyone.
Now this is my kind of hot girl-on-girl action.
I am totally, totally going to start using, "If I say there's caviar on the mountain, you just bring the crackers" in conversation as much as possible. I may just start shortening it to "you just bring the crackers." Awesome.

You're such a tease. I love Bruce Lee, too. I would have put one of his movies here, because most of them are terrible movies, but he is just...well, he's God. Even if he is in a terrible movie, it doesn't matter. So long as he is shirtless, the rest of the movie is completely immaterial.
Did you see Shaolin Soccer?
Well american actors playing french prostitutes at any rate.
Who? Kimura?
You must mean Jet Li. He's actually married to a non-whitey, sadly.
Men are so fickle.
I know, I know.
What's a girl to do? Start keeping them chained up in the basement is what.
Well, thanks for clearing that up.
But *sigh* I guess that means there's no future for us. *sigh*
Just be classy.
Right. Classy. Got it.
(Note to self: Wear underpants--not the chocolate ones. The patent leather ones? Hmmm. Maybe on the second date.)
or blush.
OK, the pink then.
Girlish abandon? So maybe I do want the chocolate underpants.
Something cabaret style? You can still have them in chocolate.
Is there such a thing as too much pink?
