My Favorite genre film

My favorite genre film would have to be Death to Smoochy, starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton, and Danny DeVito (which is also the director). Robin Williams character Rainbow Randolph is a flamboyant host of a daytime children’s show, who was just recently fired. Edward Norton’s character Smoochy the Rhino is his replacement and becomes immediately successful. With Rainbow Randolph on the streets and Smoochy the Rhino’s success being rubbed in his face a comical confrontation explodes between the two. The movie has a very dry and dark sense of humor; enough to earn an “R” rating and outstanding performances from all cast members.

My Favorite genre of film

With so many genres of film out there for people to choose from, picking one can be a tough task. My favorite film genre would have to be comedies. People love to laugh and there is always a high demand for it. A new comedy comes out every other week at the theater, and the nice thing about movies in the comedy genre is that there are several different types within it. You can have romantic/comedy, such as “Some Like it Hot”, action/comedy such as “Lethal Weapon”, or adventure/comedy like the new “Land of the Lost”. There’s so much seriousness going on day in and day out; sometimes it’s just fun to set back and watch a funny movie no matter how ridiculous it may be. Mel Brooks is one of my favorite comedy screen writes; he’s done movies such as “Blazing Saddles”, “Robin Hood Men in Tights”, and “The Producers”. He’s been a visionary in this genre for decades and his movies are hilarious.

A semiotic analysis of my fashion

I’m not sure if I would call the cloths I wear trendy. I tend to stay away from major brands, or at least brands that have a flamboyant logo on display. I don’t like the idea of being a poster boy for that particular product. Occasionally I’ll wear something that would have message. I have several concert t-shits that I buy when I go see bands I enjoy. I like to support musicians that I have respect for, so I don’t really mind buying expensive shirts. I also have a lot of shits with comic book hero’s on them, which is suggesting my love for comic books.
