Just something I was wondering.

Do you want serious discussion or are you just looking for cheap thrills?

I refuse to answer, as I have no idea what you are talking about.

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:

What kind of movies, music, books, etc. you like.

Oh and I mean in general, not in the specifics. So it's not a question of anime vs. Russian crap, but rather broad vs. "elite" entertainment.

I don't know what Spellus likes and frankly I'm not interested.

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

"I REFUSE to answer"

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.

I want to punch Tim in the stomach and send a gang of 3rd graders after Spellus.

If you combine the two, you truly are "tainted by Tim".  :D

Spellus hates Shakespeare, unless it is read in what he says is the original Russian.

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.]

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

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

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.

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. :)
