Demo account. Pace or death. If a film has a chase in it I am already seated.
Archetype
The Genre Devotee
Pulp over prestige, judged on genre terms. With a streak of The Thrill Chaser.
10% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Pulp done right. They judge a heist film as a heist film and a doom metal record as doom metal, and they know the rules well enough to know when they are bent well.
Where it goes wrong: Loyalty to a form can become loyalty to its clichés.
More about the Genre Devotee
- Avoids
- Prestige for its own sake, and anything that apologizes for its genre. A thriller ashamed to thrill is dead to you.
- How they rate
- Your stars are relative to the form. A great B-movie gets five; a respectable drama that does its job gets three.
- Good company
- Thrill Chasers and Cartographers are your people. Prestige Hunters disagree with you at every turn, usefully.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to the disreputable and harsher on the well-behaved.
