The most offensive (sub) genre

[Demoncrat]

ah Salo. its not for everyone.
these ones "offend" me, i suppose...

The Siege
Pearl Harbour
The Little Mermaid
9
Gamer
Micheal Bay
the never ending cycle of remakes
mel gibson

on the other hand, i have sat through what most mainstream movie fans (ie people who go to see jennifer aniston films...actually she offends me as well, one trick pony or what??) would consider "filth" eg snuff 102 etc, though these are usually the ones who offer to show me decapitations and the like on their phones....and IM supposed to be the sicko??

to conclude. the whole world's wild at heart, and weird on top

Only subgenre that offends me are poor Hollywood 'horror' comedies.Like The Lost Boys and Cursed.Yeah,and Adam Sandler.

[James Morton]

Probably family friendly horror, masquerading as real horror which I like,

sentimental romcoms, with Hugh Grant, Jennifer Aniston etc.
but THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY and ME, MYSELF AND IRENE are very funny due to the ott humour and so called bad taste

anything by Michael Bay, 'popcorn crap'
pathetic shite like ARMAGEDDON and INDEPENDENCE DAY with the Yanks saving the world...again

I'm struggling to think if I've ever been offended by a subgenre of films. The Mondo movies are distasteful and I don't like them because of the animal cruelty, but I'd be hard pushed to say they were generally offensive.

On the other hand, brainless action films which appeal to the lowest common denominator, generally directed by Michael Bay, are offensive in the way they treat cinema and cinemagoers, lowering the IQ of film as an art form and seeming to suggest if something is expensive enough, loud enough and full of plenty of CGI, it must be worth seeing as an 'event'.

very little "offends" me...

the majority of mainstream porn offends me on a personal level by the way that women are depicted as vacuous airheads that are all fake boobs and no brains, so I make a concious effort to avoid it...in exactly the same way that I avoid most "chick flicks" for more or less the same reason.

Other than that I can't say I am offended by anything within the horror/exploitation genres...not as far as an entire "genre/sub-genre" goes at least.

Hugh Grant offends me far more than the foetus scoffing scene in Anthropophagus!

Hugh Grant is offensive on so many levels that it's impossible to know where to begin! Britain has a long tradition of making exceptional, classy horror films - but the last wave of Brit films either focused on moronic gangsters or suger-sweet rom-coms. Where's all the horror? I blame Hugh Grant partly for this, if Four Weddings hadn't been so successful, things may have turned out differently. Instead, it started a conveyor belt of really crap dramas and rom-coms. All deeply offensive and I've avoided as many as possible. Why offensive? Well, because I say so. Because Hugh Grant is in them. I inadvertently caught About A Boy and wanted to destroy the TV. I mean, I was furious, it was absolutely awful. I didn't just want to turn it off, I wanted to eradicate its existence entirely. Trying to comment on fatherhood and the like, what a load of old bollocks.

And to add to the Brit Hall of Shame, I'll add Keira Knightley. ****ing hell, she's awful. I caught her in Domino and to say she was unbelievable is putting it mildy. She spoke like the Queen and with a body no bigger than a stick insect, I was hard pushed to believe she could capture hostile criminals. The entire film was a real endurance test.

'My name is Domino and I'm a bounty huntah.' Far too posh to be a ****ing bounty hunter. What was the casting director thinking of??

Sounds like the old one, where you're parent's told you not to do something and when you ask why, they say "because I say so" Grant has appeared in some of my favourite rom-coms, like Music & Lyrics, Four Weddings, Two weeks Notice, and my favourite af all time, Notting Hill.

I hope the therapy is going well.
