I just like movies, not one particular kind or genre. In fact, movies that are harder to classify I like more.
Genre is a useful concept only when used not evaluatively but descriptively.
I have my library separate from the family home, and every room is a different genre. The only room that I can guarantee I've read everything is the horror room.
I love the idea that all genres can have subsets.
I don't want to go to a foreign country and get lumped into that genre. I'm just looking at the bigger picture. This K-pop title might be good for now, but looking ahead it could hold me back, like a prison of sort. I'm a little wary about that.
Autobiography is a genre notorious for falsehood.
The thriller genre in general, it's total foreign ground for me.
I always wanted to get into the horror genre. I like scary movies. I want to go to the fan shows and sign posters with my head hanging by a thread like a B-movie actress.
In some ways we want definitions that can help protect our own interpretations of the genre.
To pigeonhole a genre as being successful or unsuccessful is weird.
Hate walks hand in hand with hate, and black metal especially is a genre that is full of white power bands.
My favorite term for a new kind of performance is "security theater. " In this genre, we watch as ritualized inspections and patdowns create the illusion of security. It's a form that has become common since 911, and even the government agencies that participate in this activity acknowledge,off the record, that it is indeed a species of theater.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
I put things on shuffle a lot, which is probably why I don't have a very good idea of genre.
I don't care about the genre so much. I'm good with horror, but I like other genres, too.
When I did TV shows and my other movies, I never try to do it for anybody. I just do what I think is good no matter what the genre is.
I have finally become my own genre, and now that's what publishers want. I have a wonderful publisher now, Mulholland, very innovated, very fine people working there.
If you talk about genres - I don't care if you're talking about war, Westerns, science fiction, horror, fantasy, humor, romance - anything you can find, strolling the aisles of a Borders or a Barnes & Noble, I can bring you many comic books representing each genre.
Each genre has its own process. I'm very intuitive about poetry. I usually write first and second drafts out by hand. The other end of the spectrum is journalism, which is much more cerebral, more thought-out and planned. Fiction lies somewhere in between. I usually start intuitively but eventually I need to stop and consider structure, or research, or both.
Whatever they are, can Comics be "Art"? Of course they can. The "Art" in a piece is something independent of genre, form, or material. My feeling is that most paintings, most films, most music, most literature and, indeed, most comics fail as "Art. " A masterpiece in any genre, form or material is equally "good. " It's ridiculous to impose a hierarchy of value on art. The division between high and low art is one that cannot be defended because it has no correlation to aesthetic response.
