On the grounds that I appreciate both anime and Shakespeare, which I believe means I would have to tick both of the first two options in the poll.
Spellus hates Shakespeare, unless it is read in what he says is the original Russian.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Spellus reminds me of people that memorize Klingon.

Ah, I see.

I was overinterpreting Peter's "broad versus elite" line, then.

[Yes, I know Shakespeare did not start out as "elite", it was popular entertainment originally. But then so were operas.]

I don't really know how the poll options are supposed to compare to the options in the thread title.

The title is basically "What do you call option 2?" Sorry for the confusion.

Shouldn't it technically be Aesthetic Sensibility: Timmyness or Pretentiousness?

So it's not a question of anime vs. Russian crap,

Oh, yes it is.

the two poles you offer in this poll aren't that palatable to much of Languish, but definitely Spellus for me, with less of a Russo-phileyness.
:p

Closer to Spellus, definitely. It's remarkable that we often like (or at least know) the same books and movies.

Spellus may be insane but he is no philistine.  :cool:

But you actually are an uncultured boor.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Timmy once recommended a great book to me. I also like the same Anime he likes. I think we'd like a lot of the same things. :)

I only care about the Sensibility of Sea Monsters.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
