Exactly How do I Label This?

This blog is going to switch off to a few different topics. It was originally meant to point out the unfortunate fault in adding unnecessary sub-genres to people who absolutely cannot stand spoilers to any degree. We can see how well that stayed on topic.


Often times, there are "sub-genres" in descriptions on movies or shows. Why!? It's starting to go overboard where a story can have like 15 genres. I mean, if the story really was them focusing largely on 15 different genres (long movie) then put those on the description. But if it barely touches a different genre don't add it.
 It's like saying you can speak Swahili when all you know how to say is "Sijui Kiswahili" - which of course means "I don't know Swahili". *Faceplam*


When sub-genres are given it leads to expectations of what is in the movie/show. Now, many times a story has been ruined for me because I figured it out what would happen, unintentionally, before it could happen. Avoiding that is another reason I write reviews *sparkles and rainbows*. Most people don't really mind if they see a spoiler or know a sub-genre, which is good, but I constantly feel like it's a crime against my grandparents - who are of course, nice. 


Though I do enjoy reading Shirley's reviews. (And I am in no way saying that at all, just because she has the power to remove me from the page, and block me, and lead everyone into a mass witch hunt to burn me at the stake. Nope definitely not...) She writes as if she's speaking to you.  Maybe "yelling at you" would be a better way to phrase it.... But it's more interactive than most online reviews. 


But in all actuality, most reviews feel very formal, as if a lifeless computer is forcing me to read its uneventful text. It's too factual! It's the pinnacle of fact spitting! And that my dear, dear children, is boring. I mean, it's great to not be biased, we should aim for that, but I'm saying that people are either:

• Not incorporating humor at all (or)
• Aren't doing a good job at adding it. 

So we should try to

• At least try to add humor (or)
• Be less formal

When we're less formal about writing, we can connect with each other better ね.


I will admit though, it's tough to add humor into writing since the reader may interpret it differently than the writer intended it to be. Also keeping the readers attention can be tricky! So here! Have a cat!

I try to make my reviews at entertaining as possible for you - so! I'd like to ask you! (Why yes! This is out of the blue! :D) To help me, help you, by helping me, help you, having you, send me - feedback (feedback being the key word here)! If you tell me what you want, what you really really want, I'll try to incorporate it in what I write for your reading contentment. ... (yes really) ... 

Now exactly what did I just write?
