    Funny enough, I found myself watching a lot of Total Divas.

    And Love and Hip-Hop.

    I watched a couple of episodes of Total Divas. It was cool to see a different side to guys like John Cena and Daniel Bryan. It also gave me Renee Young in a bikini so the show is doing God's work.

    I always find it weird that out of all of the Burton-Schumacher films Batman Forever is arguably the only one film that focuses on Batman. The others were largely focussed on the villains.

    I do remember my girlfriend actually becoming very invested in Daniel Bryan as a person/character despite not being a wrestling fan at all. The stuff about his concussion and retirement actually got a tear out of her when he made his retirement speech. She was also a fan of Brie Bella as she's a lefty-hippie veggie too.

    Yeah, the problem with Batman & Robin wasn't that it was bad (people can sit through a bad movie, and even find things to enjoy in it), it's that is was so boring. I've never walked out of a movie, but that was the closest I've ever come.

    Ninjago - the current one running is very well plotted and despite being little Lego dudes, the action sequences are good. The characters are well developed. Like much better than the DC movies, except for WW. In fact, the Lego DC movies are much better as entertainment than the cinematic ones.

    Was at back in the day it was GLOW wrestling (not the Net Flicks tv show).

    Power Rangers was for awhile, but I sort of lost interest.

    On the movie aide of things I'm pretty much a sucker for most of those teen movies from the John Hughs era all the wzyvto the more recent stuff. From Breakfast Club to Scream andcebeything in between.

    I was watching the Lego Batman movie the other day.. nope, it was too cheesy and kiddie for me. I did appreciate seeing so much about the DC lore not just Batman, but it bored me for the most part. I guess it depends what you like for entertainment.

    I sort of had the opposite reaction. Clooney made the perfect Bruce Wayne. He was much more believable as someone who could pull off the handsome, lazy, womanizing billionaire and was much smoother than Keaton or Bale.
    Perhaps Affleck, but we never really saw him being Bruce Wayne much. Batman isn't just Batman. He is also Bruce Wayne. Given better writing he would have made the perfect Bruce Wayne and maybe Batman too
    given a better costume. I could see Clooney as Bruce Wayne and Batman in Batman 1989 and Batman Returns because Clooney can do serious too. He isn't limited to comedy roles.

    I had the same reaction to Batman Forever. In fact I tried watching it recently on Netflix and couldn't get halfway through it. But I don't really find much boring about Batman & Robin. If anything, too much is going on.
    It's like the actors should have all been giving Ritalin before the filming started.

    Anything to do with Tiffany "New York" Pollard. Also the DC CW-verse stuff. I don't feel any kind of guilt about either of the two things, but looking up the definition of guilty pleasure, it seems like it has less to do with any perceived guilt on behalf of the viewer and more so with how society would label the content. High art the two are not.

    I just realized I have all the pre-Nolan Batman movies (someone gave them to me). I'm not a huge Batman fan so I've watched them all probably just once, and Batman Forever is the only one I remember absolutely nothing about aside from who was in it.

    As a fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, that movie was fun. It was dumb, and even the title makes me laugh, but it was fun. Though I wish Lydia had got eaten by Zombies.(that grammar doesn't sound right)

    Guilty Pleasure?
    Silly comedies. Like Space Jam, the Mighty Ducks Trilogy (3rd is my favorite), Little Giants, and the 3 Ninjas movies.

    TV series? Uh, maybe Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog? Think Power Rangers, but set in Medieval Times. And instead of Zordon, you have the Fae.
