I already sorta confessed this in the shoutbox, but...
I must confess:
Some Transformers fans might consider me a heretic for liking the Transformers and GoBots cartoons almost equally.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

I confess I have never watched any of the Godfather movies.

I must confess: I've never watched an episode of Game of Thrones, or read anything by George R.R. Martin. His shared world anthology, Wild Cards, is pretty cool. A half dozen or so authors writing a superhero world! But yeah, I haven't read that Song of Fire and Ice stuff he's actually famous for, either.

I bought five of the Wild Card paperbacks for 50 cents apiece at a used bookstore several years ago. I enjoyed the first few stories and the overall concept, but gave up about midway through the second book. The stories just weren't that interesting.
I tried again about a year ago but didn't get through a single story.

I confess I have never watched any of the Godfather movies. Not my cup of tea, and nearly any cup of tea is my cup of tea. So, I've only seen a bit of the second one, by accident. His shared world anthology, Wild Cards, is pretty cool. A half dozen or so authors writing a superhero world! I've read a few Wild Cards books, but the concept didn't have staying power for me. It's good to see a writing veteran getting so much success.

I must confess: I didn't watch Guardians of the Galaxy because I thought the trailer looked stupid. I know that movie has a lot of fans at Legion World, and millions more outside of Legion World, so no offense to them but it's probably not my thing.

I love movies embedded in nostalgia so the 70/80's roots of GoTG had me hooked.

The only thing I consider myself to be genuinely nostalgic for are certain 80s TV cartoons, especially those involving robots.

My parents always say that I was born a decade too late. Pretty much everything I love from comics to movies to music are from the 80's.

I think that is, in a word: awesome! I think the 80s are a very misunderstood decade. There were a lot of unpleasant things going on in the real world, but at the time it seemed so much easier to temporarily escape them through entertainment.

That's how I feel as well. There isn't much in the way of modern entertainment that offers me that same kind of escapism.

That's one of the reasons I dislike the 90s so much. That was when the entertainment industry first realized it could make money by sticking everything ugly and cynical about life in our faces. The 2000s were kind of the peak of that trend, and I think it's been slowly receding this decade.

I think that the 90's weren't that bad. Some of my favorite movies, such as Jurassic Park and Back to the Future III, were from the 90's. I also like the ska bands of the 90's too, like Sublime and Pepper.

My favorite 90s band by far is Garbage, although I must confess I hated all but one song on their third album, Beautiful Garbage (the song I did like, BTW, was Cherry Lips (Go, Baby, Go))

90's alt rock is pretty solid too. I remember Nirvana's entire catalogue was my gospel in junior high.

I didn't like any of the Seattle bands. I thought they were too negative. (How ironic, then, that one of the members of Garbage is Butch Vig, who produced Nevermind.)

Do you like the Smashing Pumpkins? I know Billy Corgan's vocals aren't for everyone, but I love the band's work.

I would have loved the Pumpkins if only Billy Corgan would have been willing to be like Ritchie Blackmore with Rainbow or Tony Iommi with Black Sabbath, and led the band but shared the stage with a singer who could actually sing.

Heh, I think we've really derailed this thread with our nostalgia talk.
