lol, 23 (Guy Who Likes Video Games) most of the time :P, though sometimes 8 (Tourney---) when I play Brawl with my friends. Also 19 (JRPG) and 21 (Pokemon) fit too and that adds 22 (Collector).
Cool Pic XD

Oh brawl is what that's in regards too... the super saiyan thing... and tourney tag didn't make sense to me before.
No clue what i'd fall in then.

The best explination is... I get a good laugh about films that i don't find good, and therefore also enjoy them. Outside of films that show actual physical harm... there really isn't much I wouldn't find funny. There really isn't much that makes me angry. All you need to like a genre is to not have something against a genre. Though all the explotiation movies are subgenres of the explotation genre.
Meanwhile, videogames aren't even remotely as diverse. |
First of all... How can you put the slasher genre (which is a kind of exploitation film) in the same category as a Bruceploitation film? They're too different and there should be diferent categories.
Second, it's not about having something against a genre. All you need to not like a genre is for the subject it relates to to be boring to you. Some people I know, for example, find any kind of sports movie to be boring. Others find Lynch movies (which I could argue, deserve a genre of their own) to be completely dull.
Third, porn is a genre. Don't try to run away from it, just cuz you don't like it cuz there are a lot of people who do. Me included
And fourth, while videogames may not be as diverse, they're quickly getting there and I would argue there are exploitation genres already in the gaming world. There are dating and sex simulators, aren't there?

1) They aren't "too different".
They all opperate the same base theory. Find something a lot of people find offensive and exploit and expand the hell out of it. They're no more different then a mystery thriller set in the 1800's and a mysertery thriller set in 3800.
Explotation movies are the genre... everything you've mentioned is a subgenre of explotation movies.
Perhaps a better example is doccumentries. The documentry could be as vast as eating fast food, to building house out of trash, to digging of ancient history, to a day in the life of Kobe Bryant. All very different stuff... however... the form is what's important. Not the subject matter.
2) What if no subject is boring to you? No subject is inherently boring if you ask me. It's all simply how it's presented. Someone could make grass growing interesting if they presented it in the right way.
3)As for porn. Admittidly thinking back on it... I have found the occasional porn movie really funny to watch through. Playmate of the Apes being particularly hilarious. Though I don't really consider it in the "movie" arena because... It doesn't get reviewed by the same people... even when other "non-porn" films have little if any difference but are reviewed and accepted by the movie establishment.
4) Once again depends on how it's done doesn't it? I mean Sakura Taisen is a dating simulator and it looks pretty damn interesting honestly.
Actually though, those would probably all just fall under "simulation" for genre.

@Kasz I think we're derailing the thread but whatever.
No subject is boring? I don't buy that. Not for a second. So you've never watched a trailer for something or heard the premisse explained by someone and knew outright you just were not going to enjoy that movie?
There's simply no way you enjoy every genre. How would you choose which movies to watch? There's gotta be a big chunk of them you ignore.

Hearing premises and seeing trailers have made me worried they weren't going to handle the subject in the right way, however that's not really the same thing. Like I said, no subject is boring if handled the right way, guessing it's probably going to be handled the wrong way isn't exactly damning indictment.
For example, i'm not enthused to see every romantic comedy as they can be quite formulatic... however there are plenty that are well worth watcing. Some because they break formula... and others because they execute within the formula so well.
As for how would you choose what movies to watch? The same way you choose between what movies you watch a combination of what i feel like at the time, what i've heard was done well and
I often read movie recaps on wikipedia and such before I watch them to get a feel.
Also i rarely watch the same movie twice... and if I do it's pretty much never of my choosing. With rare exceptions of movies on TV.
Including my favorite (a strange one for a favorite i suppose) Brewsters Millions.
Do you still miss a lot? Sure. Hell if you dedicate yourself to Kung Fu movies your still going to miss a lot. Movies aren't a devotion, they're for entertainment to be consumed at will.
I think in general there are movies in any genre that a lot of people could enjoy, assuming they aren't uptight about something.
It's likely the same with games. I probably don't get into rythem games because I can't get into the "karoke" type mindset too often so i can't get immersed since i never wanted to be a rockstar.
If they made a rythem game based on something else i'd probably enjoy it.
