“The idea of doing a children's film is different, but quite honestly I like doing anything - any genre.

“When you're doing a comedy and you want to somehow satirise people who are taking themselves seriously, I think the most serious genre is the thing you're going to get the most out of. If you're trying to satirise a comedy, it's hard to do that - it doesn't really work as well. But I love the war movie genre and I'm a fan of all those movies that are part of what this movie is.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantTryingWellsWarHardComedyFansSeriousGenreGenre IsWar Movie Author:Ben Stiller
“Long gone are the days of the stylised old James Bond films with Roger Moore karate chopping his way through the bad guys - audiences are not going to buy it anymore. The genre has got quite serious now.” WayLongFilmGuyAudienceGoneSeriousGenreBad GuysRogerKarateChopping Author:Adam Rayner
“Would you rather see a super soldier battling Nazis or something more serious? Or lesbians down a coal mine? Generally, the films are engaging in the same way as the comics are.

“The techniques are all means of dealing with one simple idea: She wrote it. (That is, the "wrong" person--in this case, female--has created the "right" value--i.e., art.) Denial of Agency: She didn't write it. Pollution of Agency: She shouldn't have written it. Double Standard of Content: Yes, but look what she wrote about. False Categorizing: She is not really she [an artist] and it is not really it [serious, of the right genre, aesthetically sound, important, etc.] so how could "she" have written "it"? Or simply: Neither "she" nor "it" exists (simple exclusion).” WritingLooksMeanPersonsArtImportantIdeasArtistValuesSoundSimpleCasesWrittenSeriousStandardsFemaleCriticismTechniqueDenialGenreAgencyEtcSexismPollutionExclusionDouble StandardLiterary CriticismWrong PersonSimple IdeasCategorizing Book:How to Suppress Women's Writing Source: How to Suppress Women's Writing

“I wrote, I think, half a dozen films that were completely out of genre. Comedies, love stories, even one serious film about Vietnam, and we couldn't get backing for any of it. And we both sort of drifted from making, at that time, serious money on Last House to going through it all in the course of almost three years and only getting offers to do something scary again.” ThinkingYearsStoriesLastsFilmThreeCoursesHouseHalfComedySeriousOffersScaryLove StoryGenreVietnamThree YearsDozen Author:Wes Craven
“There's a long-standing (50 year old) flame war within the field over whether it's "sci-fi" or "SF".SF has traditionally been looked down on by the literary establishment because, to be honest, much early SF was execrably badly written - but these days the significance of the pigeon hole is fading; we have serious mainstream authors writing stuff that is I-can't-believe-it's-not-SF, and SF authors breaking into the mainstream.
