I knew when I started thinking that Jason was sexy that I was going off the deep end. It's nice to know I'm not the only TAPS fan. I still wouldn't tell any of my friends...lol!

Does anyone remember Labrynth, with David Bowie and the bouncing heads? That movie was so wierd.

I own it, and can recite most of it. I love Hoggle And David Bowie for that matter.

James and I watch Ghost Hunters all the time. Don't much care for the new one GHI though, don't like the team lead, nor half the team I saw Jason and Grant at Dragon Con, I was walking behind them. Didn't get to talk to them though, their handlers were surrounding them. We didn't get to see any of their panels though because the one that we *did* get in to, was cancelled. We guessed because Steve couldn't get on the plane with them He never did show up that weekend, one of the other guys came in his place.

We also have a bunch of ghost hunting equipment of our own, and we've been out once with a local (very disorganized) group.

Because you guys are talking about watching shows and movies that I only recognize because my kids watched them. I've never actually seen them. LOL

I met David Bowie backstage at a Pixies concert a few years back. I was in awe. I am not a huge fan of his music but I respect his music, and he does have a real presence.

CLASSIC!

That movie made me incredibly afraid of David Bowie and life at the same time, but yet I could not stop watching it. I probably watched it a few hundred times as a kid.

That is too cool! I don't like GHI either and it's for the exact same reason.

I'm gonna have to start coming and hanging out in you guys forum. You guys are cooler. LOL.

[Marilyn. 340]

I don't mind GHI... at least the lead guy is not so wooden this season.. he seems to have loosened up some..

Do you guys remember the Dark Crystal? Or Legend!? Legend was HILARIOUS.

I loved the Dark Crystal. I have it on DVD. I tried to name one of our dogs when I was younger Fizzgig after that one maniac character in it. I loved Labrynth even more. I Liked Hoggle, but I liked Sir Didymus and Ambrosius the best.

This morning, I heard the lineup for the Coachela Music Festival, and was reminded of another guilty pleasure. I like to listen to Morrissey and The Smiths. I hate emo music, but for some reason, I like Morrissey

I hate emo music

Ah I "hate" this word. I think I hate it because people use it so generically. The original "emo" slang term originated from the words "emotional HARDCORE". (ie. as in hardcore or punk) It was actually "emocore".

Somehow, the word "emo" got popularized to just mean emotional and so now all emotional rock music tends to be pegged emo?

I'm not doggin' on ya, it just is one of my pet peeves from being a music nerd.

OK, I should phrase that a bit more carefully. I intensely dislike the current music that is labelled as "Emo". I do however like The Cure, The Smiths, and The Misfits

I generally just say it that way because far too often if I tell someone that I like Morriessey, they reply "Oh, your an emo huh?".

word I'm like that with the word "indie"

People just throw it around and don't seem to appreciate it in its true form.

It's quite alright. I love how the term went from being used for a genre of music, to people using it to describe someone or call someone something negative.

I hate that the mainstream media has done that to a GREAT genre of music. When kids are "sad" and where "black" and wear too much make up, maybe they are just depressed or crying out for attention, not "emo"
