Best/worst movie genres
Assume a typical video store like blockbuster or hollywood video.
You have to pick a section of the store from which your movie for the night will randomly be chosen. You have to watch the movie all the way through. What are the best/worst genres? Here's my breakdown from worst to best. Drama: Ugh. Most movies in this category are going to be predictable, badly acted, slowpaced, and boring as hell. I'd rather read youtube comments. Comedy: This is slightly better than drama, but still AWFUL. Most of these movies will not make you laugh even once. The jokes will be extremely outdated, and the quality in general will be just as bad as the average drama movie. The upside is that comedies generally have a somewhat faster pace than dramas. Action: Things start to look a bit better here. I'd much rather watch a cheesy terrible action scene than watch a totally unfunny or vacuous comedy or drama scene. Still, on the whole, action movies will leave almost anyone disappointed. The reason is that the majority of action movies in the action section are just bad dramas with some guns or karate thrown in there. Horror: Yesssssss. I would ALMOST watch a random horror movie voluntarily when I am in the right mood for it. People die constantly in these movies, and they often feature somewhat entertaining mythologies with devils, leprechauns, vampires, etc. to keep one entertained, if only mildly so. Foreign: The average foreign movie is often quite good. The reason is that very few foreign movies end up on the shelves in america. Go to the video store and pick up a random foreign film. Every other one will be a cannes official selection or highly regarded by another highly reputable source. Compare that to some terrible straight to DVD action movie whose only positive review is from a website set up by the producers themselves. Feel free to add more categories. I didn't do sci-fi for example. |

On the other hand, my standards for making an OP get a bit lower when I see so many bad posts in OOT. have you noticed that there's an extreme abundance of flaming and trolling in a lot of the major threads? Anyway, thx for not starring me b/c I like my title too. I'll try to put more effort into OPs. This one should have been better written, but I thought the concept was at least average. Later |
