I do think that once a horror genre is commonly parodied in other movies it sort kills that genre or that specific take on that genre. Once it sort of becomes a joke in and of itself, so you have to push and find something new.
I've never found kicks to the groin particularly funny, although recent work in the genre of the buddy movie suggests audience research must prove me wrong.
Autobiography is a genre notorious for falsehood.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But there is always a time and a place for the subsets within genres.
I do genre films because I like them, or because I need the money.
Because I am known in the horror genre now, I try and do at least one horror movie a year for my fans, my fans have been so good to me.
I love the idea that all genres can have subsets.
I just like movies, not one particular kind or genre. In fact, movies that are harder to classify I like more.
One of the great things about the sci-fi genre is that you can kind of get away with a bit more when talking politics, making social references or dealing with very hot-button topics because it is sci-fi.
I'm not sure what kept me from the mainstream. I thought it was because I was too hard to pin down genre-wise.
The American independent cinema is as formulaic as Hollywood and one genre is what you might call the 'inaction movie'. The setting is invariably a decaying town in a regional backwater where a catalytic stranger or returning native meets up with a group of sad, eccentric outsiders.
It's hard to put my music in a specific genre, but if you had to, "instrumental cyber metal" would be an accurate one.
I don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).
At some point, every science fiction and fantasy story must challenge the reader's experience and learning. That's much of the reason why the genre is so open to experimentation and innovation that other genres reject--strangeness is our bread and butter. Spread it thick or slice it thin, it's still our staff of life.
I put things on shuffle a lot, which is probably why I don't have a very good idea of genre.
I always find myself pulled back into the fantasy genre, and I can't really explain it.
I would agree Paul is a sci-fi genre movie. And a road movie.
There are no authors in my genre. No one is doing what I do.
What I want any genre to do, what I want any work of art to do, is to illuminate the human condition.
My theory on genre is that while there are people out there who believe that genre tells people what to read, actually I believe that genre exists as a marketing tool to tell you what to avoid.
Podiobooks rules. It's still the best way I know to find an audience for longer works in any genre.
I'm not necessarily that big of a clubbing junkie, but I really like dance music as a genre.
I feel like R&B as a genre has become a caricature of itself.
The horror genre has been for me an original way of taking an explicit visual and visionary approach to directing.
James McMurtry is a true Americana poet - actually he is a poet regardless of genre
