It depends on the musical, Rocky Horror is always good, but some others suck big time.

The Teletubbies... I have this strange fascination
Yeah, I love Bill & Ted, Robot Wars, gangsta rap, Diablo II (that's loved) and The Matrix (who doesn't??)
Speaking of martial arts movies, has anyone seen Iron Monkey? I was thinking about posting this in the "Movies..." thread, but it came up...I have this friend who likes martial arts movies, some of them are quite good, others...less so and he kinda made us watch this film - Iron Monkey. I really want to find out whether it was meant to be a comedy...it was that bad. Truly awful. Yet he seems to think it's great... Has anyone else been subjected to it?

Yeah I've seen Iron Monkey...and no, it's not a comedy. I really liked it...
I'm speechless...how can you like anything with such cheesy dialog, and Street Fighter-like moves such as the "No Shadow Kick" and the "King Kong Palm"...we were just falling about ourselves with laughter. I just looked it up on IMDB and was shocked to find just how many people like it..."genius"??? I'm baffled.

My high school year 12 maths teacher. The most boring lessons I have ever had, but at least she left me alone and let me draw during class with out hassling me, which most other teachers didn't.

Excellent. I love robotic combat. Not sure why but I love to catch both Robot Wars and Battlebots. I love the robots that look like something-like robochicken looks like a chicken and Thermador looks like a lobster.
Yeah, I love Bill & Ted, Robot Wars, gangsta rap, Diablo II (that's loved) and The Matrix (who doesn't??)
My friend has been playing Diablo II non-stop since it came out and he is STILL keeping up the pace. Its VERY scary and a bit sad...
Glad you like Robot Wars, too.
The Matrix-As I said before-I just found it boring.
“Caw, Caw!” The call of the wild calls you. Are you listening? Do you dare challenge their power? Do you dare invade? Nature will always triumph in the end.

Here's a good one: Amy Tan books. They're shmaltzy and, even worse, they're the literary equivalent of chick flicks, but for some inexplicable reason I find them entertaining...
I even liked the video adaption of The Joy Luck Club, even though it was painfully heavyhanded...

Unfortunately, I've got this male condition in which my hips are still attached to my waist and legs in a direct line, so that I can't really do the kinds of things most women (including my wife) can, when they dance. I hazard a guess that most men cannot. Well, Michael Jackson can, but there is good reason to suspect that his DNA comes from aliens.
I do what I can with hip-shaking Salsa, which is passe everywhere except in Latin America and our household. My wife helps me, but I think that if any right-thinking Latino were to see me attempting to dance to Tito Puente he'd take up polkas, instead.
I am well familiar with this condition, and strangely, it only seems to affect white males, not black or latino men. I have no data on asian men. Must be connected to the lack of skin pigment or something...posted by Frogus
I also have a thing for NWA etc @CE, but am not all that ashamed of it..
But NWA at least had a political message - there were those who absolutely had not...
You two are genuinely sick people@Dot, I am also a closet Musical junkie

I suppose so. I try, but several centuries of Ukrainian ancestors stirring in my blood evidently prevent the neural passageways to the hips, waist, etc, from coordinating movement. My wife tries to help, and as she still retains her RN license after more than 20 years (despite moving over to Infomatics), I trust her. But still, it doesn't work. I wonder if faith healing has a cure...?

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
I agree with fable there - I can't dance, and it's definitely the fault of my Ukrainian ancestry

@Sleep: Of course it was in a good way that's why I was hoping it would be dominant (ie you spread the mutant "funky hip gene" to your offspring, and they spread in further )
@Fable: I am not sure if faith healing is the best cure...I could think of other alternative therapies ...they would require the involvement of your wife, but she seems very supoortive, so that's not a problem
@Kam & Fable: So what did the Ukrainians dance? There weren't dancing kosack dances, or where they?
Back to topic:
Maria Callas - I am not really a big Opera enthusiast, but I like some Russian and Italian Opera. My more knowledgable and cultivated friends keep telling me that Maria Callas was primarily an actress, not a great singer - her voice was in fact crude and not truly purely "opera-educated". Maybe it is so, but I still love her interpretations of Puccini's great operas and her voice that sounds like she's on the verge of crying in the great arias. Quite pathetic, isn't it?

Actually, my grandfather and great-uncle did just that, except such things weren't only a cossack tradition. (Cossacks were originally more Robin Hood like in behavior. When they were coopted by the Czarist regime, they became more bullying in conduct.) They were generally known among the Ukrainian population. According to my grandmother, they'd have a few drinks, and launch into the Kamarinskaya, complete with extensive kick-dancing from squats. And as she was not a lady gifted with either imagination or much humor, I believe it. (We also had confirmation from her sister, who disliked her intensely, and would therefore have no reason to agree if she lied.)

My Ukrainian grandfather used to do ballroom dancing, actually - he was quite good, but I think that particular gene will die with him
...and no, I can't do cossack dancing either

My grandfather was in the Czarina's cavalry (as it was called), and therefore, could consider himself a cossack. The truth is a little less exciting: he was a tailor and private, who kept the officers' uniforms looking spiffy. He always said he was glad he had the horse, since he could ride it across streams. He couldn't swim.
