Okay, I wasn't going to participate in this, but... I decided to anyway :)
The rules are:
The rules are:
List your favorite genre of:
Movie
Music
Book
And guilty pleasure genre from any of the three categories!
Favorite Movie Genre: Sci-Fi
Fell in love with Star Wars when I was five, and haven't gotten over it since! It made me dream and wonder about space, the vastness of the universe, and exploring other worlds. I mean, really. How much more awesome does it get?
Favorite Music Genre: Rock
Four years ago, when I was in 6th grade, I came across a video on youtube of people skiing. Over the sound of the video was a song called Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, and I just loved it. I've expanded to Red, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Krypteria and Epica ever since then! The above song is one of my favorites :)
Favorite Book Genre: Dystopian/Sci-Fi
The Hunger Games really introduced me to Dystopian. I really love the concept of imperfect worlds opposed to perfect ones. (Although, what world is really perfect?) Of course, Star Wars had already introduced me to Sci-Fi, and I read a lot of Star Wars books.
Guilty Pleasure Genre: Comedy
No comedy movies are coming to mind at the moment, but I like watching shows like Gilligans Island. Mostly because they're not very thought provoking and I can write while I watch. And my brother loves that show, so everyone's happy :)

Yay for sci-fi! Excellent choices and congrats to the winners. I think I'm finally ready to participate. Next month. :)
Hehehe, Gilligan's Island. Just thinking about it makes me smile!
Okay, I must admit Gilligan's Island was just too funny to miss. It really made me laugh.
Love your choices.
The Hunger Games trilogy was excellent! I see you play violin and figure skate. Me too! Nice meeting you.
Your guilty pleasure made me laugh!
Star Wars did it for me when I was thirteen. Of course, that was back during the original release...
Thanks for participating in my blogfest!
SciFi is on just about everyone's list. I had to laugh about Gilligan's Island - I'm pretty sure I know all the words to the theme song even after all this time. Maryanne was my favorite:)
did they ever get off the island, really... did you prefer the black and white or color years?

Gilligan's Island? I never expected that one. lol It was so much fun to read about your favorite things. Great blog hop! :-)
From your band listing, I'd say you're not just into rock, you're especially into Symphonic Metal! (And I dearly love Epica, though the other bands are good too).
Gilligan's Island as you guilty pleasure is a hoot. There is an ex-pat here in Manila who closely resembles the Skipper. The hell of it is, he has a young "thang" on his arm 30 years his junior and she'd make the lovely Ginger or Mary Ann look 2nd rate. lol
I enjoy Dystopians, too. Can't get enough of them.
I love Evanescence! Great band. Great genres, too, although I must say I think I saw that coming ;)
Promise I'm in on the next KOMF, too! I have sat it out too long!
Are you doing NaNo this year?
Great choices!! I love Evanesscense too and of course, Star Wars is awesome. :)
Hey, Jess,
Long time. I've come across lots of Sci-Fi and Rock fans today. Liked watching Gilligan's island as a kid.
Great to see another early Star Wars convert :) I also love old shows like Gilligan's Island. Some of my other favourites are Dick van Dyke, Hogan's Heroes, I Love Lucy, and Newhart.

We had to choose a character to be from Gilligan's Island, at one work team building day. I chose Gilligan, but changed it to Gilliganetta.
Star Wars is great scifi, I like it better than Star Trek, but I like both.
Star Wars is the best. It was my first introduction to sci-fi. Watched them again recently and remembered how much I love them. :)
Another dystopia fan! I'm such a sucker for The Hunger Games franchise. And Evanesence is awesome. Amy Lee kicks so much ass. I heard "Bring Me To Life" at a work picnic this past weekend; nearly forgot how great that song is.
I enjoyed this post and I'm glad you decided to participate in Alex's blogfest :)
Can't go wrong with Star Wars...ever.
Great list.
Thanks for sharing.

I love the sci-fi, the rock, and the comedy myself ... OK, all of your choices.
You make me feel old when you say you were only five when you fell in love with Starwars. Great movie but I was a 'bit' older when I first saw it.
That reminds me that I should look up Gilligan's Island on Netflix and see if it's available. It would be fun to re-watch that! I've been watching Psych while I write, but I watched all the ones Netflix had available. Sadness.
