2. I chose "other," because I couldn't pick comedy AND horror at the same time.
We're a bunch of "Brain Dead" "Basket Case"s with "Bad Taste," as far as I'm concerned. :P

Or, on second thought, porno would also work, because we couldn't have 6 billion people on this planet without a whole lot of fuckin' goin' on.

4. I don't know what the genre is called,
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 11:18 PM by sammythecat
but, for me, it would be the one that includes all those strange Fellini movies that are just plain weird.

If not that, then I'd put it in the Tragedy column.

Just had another thought. I'm not sure, but isn't the classic definition of a tragedy when the main characters (or everybody) dies? Like we do.

9. Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

11. In the name of religion, ethnic hatred, racial purity, human "perfectibility"...
The list is long and blood-soaked.

7. Oh, Film Noir, of course!
The human species is mean, vain, petty, fickle, self-serving, desperate, larcenous, ignoble, and weak. But we have great lighting.
