World's Heaviest Harness! OHman I have to go find that site again now.

About your reccing issues: it may not be you, it may just be the way you phrase your recommendations? I know I always have way too many things on my to-read/watch/whatever list, and what makes me finally get into something is pretty indefinable - but it's almost never 'a friend is interested in it', because unless I know them well enough to know I can be completely honest without drama, that just leads to awkward attempts at saying nice things about something I could care less about or didn't even manage to get through. (even if all my Sherlock-loving friends claim my constant yelling profanity and throwing things at the screen when they bribe me to make me watch it is more entertaining than annoying.)

If you think they really would like your favorites, try to figure out what will make that particular person go 'ooh! must have!' at that particular moment, and then lean on that particular aspect very heavily, whether it's a clever plot point or lots of good fanfic or a picspam of an actor who fits their type. Or, hell, try bribes and bargaining! It worked with me and Sherlock. When I was little my sister would shut me in a room with only one book until I finally read it and could squee about it with her. Just don't expect them to watch it just because you like it - if that was how it worked for them, they'd be watching it already just from you talking about it.
