I loved Spice World. The movie was purposely campy and the singers tried to
convince us that they knew each other from childhood. Plus, Roger Moore was
priceless!
As for guilty pleasures, I'd have to say I enjoyed Can't Stop the Music, the
Village People movie. Watching the leatherman sing Danny Boy was hilarious.

hmmm, I'll have to dig for that. I am admittedly a Village People fan.

I'm starting to think *all** of your pleasures are guilty ones..

In the movie world, "guilty pleasures" seems to be the operating
principle, so much so that I find movies of that sort distinctly
unpleasant. I haven't seen "Spice World", but I found the first Austin
Powers film rather tedious, except for the opening sequence (a
brilliant capture of an obsolete style) and a few of the jokes
involving Dr. Evil. I've avoided the entire "American Pie" genre.
OK, "Josie and the Pussycats" was watchable, but the last pop-music
spinoff film I actually liked was "Earth Girls are Easy".

Yep, Earth Girls are Easy is one of my guilty pleasures.

I liked "Earth Girls are Easy", but not because it's a guilty
pleasure. I liked it because it's ... a good comedy film. (It was one
of Jim Carrey's early films, imagine that.)
My idea of a guilty pleasure is the Barnabas Collins Joke Book. Yes,
one was actually published:
Q. What's Barnabas's favorite song?
A. Fangs for the Memories.

Oh mi God. Do you have a copy? Do share more! (Twila was one of those pre-teen
girls who was absolutely in LUUUV with Barnabas.)

I did have a copy of the Barnabas joke book, Twila, but alas I got rid
of it after much travail a few years ago.
After much travail, I say, because I know some equally passionate
Barnabas fans, and even they didn't want the thing. Eventually I
donated it to a fan auction.
Trust me, it's not the sort of thing even the biggest DS fan would
want. It's just a collection of every completely lame vampire joke
ever written, with Barnabas's name attached whether it's appropriate or
not. (And really, do you think Barnabas would have been caught singing
filk versions of old Bob Hope songs?)

Erm. No. Definitely not. Twila wanders away shaking her head.
