Would most men be more willing to admit to liking My Little Pony or Les Misérables?

Today at work I found out the answer amongst my workplace is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Plenty of people who admit to watching a show about cartoon ponies STILL said they would never watch a live action musical. In the debate on if you're more excited to see Django Unchained or Les Misérables, basically all the guys and about half the girls were for Django Unchained.

My Little Pony doesn't do anything for me, and I find Tarantino movies to be mostly just pointless violence rather than anything interesting and it doesn't speak to me. Plus Les Miserables is great literature.

I haven't seen a Broadway play touring company performance in years, but I used to enjoy going. Musical, no problem. Tarantino movie, Western, blech, not my style. My Little Pony, can't see watching that at my age, although I do enjoy adult cartoons like South Park and Futurama.

and expect to cry like a baby.

Just the commercials featuring Anne Hathaway and I start with the waterworks.

Gonna see Django ( the "D" is silent) in the next couple of days.

Expect the howling laughter from that.

This is a great era for film.

That movie was crazy fun. The whole theater cheering and laughing constantly when I saw it both times.

I am looking forward to watching the movie.

It might help a lot of guys to know that Wolverine and The Gladiator are in for the ride...
