Isnt that Nope idea or wasnt he suppose to run or start it.

Can't you just accept that it CAN be? Not that it HAS to be, but under certain circumstances it CAN be considered a genre?

If you're talking about movies collectively, yes, those are genres, but under Anime they can also be subgenres.

>_>

I think there is different genre of anime. I mean I would hardly call Pokemon the same as Dragonball Z or Inuyasha the same thing as Case Closed.

I think Anime and Animation do have different Genres. But I dont think all anime is an action film but anime too me is kinda all fantasy even if its a story like Gundum or Outlaw Star.

Nobody said it was.

You clearly haven't watched much Anime.

Yeah, A Bug's Life and Cowboy Bebop are in the genre of Adventure... Akira and The Iron Giant are Sci-Fi.


Genre, is theme... anime is the style of animation. Although in Japan, "Anime" simply means....

Animation.

I made this point to Guap already, Chinese food is just "food" in China, but outside of China it's "Chinese food" and that possesses unique connotations that appeal to a specific demographic of people. It's marketed that way.

This REALLY isn't that hard to grasp.

If you post an ordered list of every film that managed to be eligible but didn't crack the main 100 then that frees people up to disregard whatever "non-action" films made the main list and push the honourable mentions up into the main list. A case of rejecting one reality and substituting another, as it were - it doesn't mean you have to change the main list.

I am not particularly serious about this idea, though.

Iro's Top 100 Movies v3.0

Anybody else up for this?

No.

As I said, people already voiced their opinions on what qualifies and what doesn't by placing their votes. If a film appeared on this list, that means multiple people consider it Action and it deserves its place here.

This was the one rule. It's insulting to the voters to change it after the fact.

Yeah i'm not either. And neither is Iro from the sound of it haha.

No, if they were insulted is when they should feel insulted. I had brought up the idea just to try and make everyone happy. If theres too many films people feel need to be in the Action list, that are already represented in other countdowns, then so be it.

What are you talking about? This post was in direct response to Omnizoa asking if people agree with Iro's suggestion.

Iro was reiterating what I had said earlier. I think. I was saying if we took out all the anime/sci-fi/fantasy then whatevers left would be the list, though it wouldnt add up to 100 films.

You've misunderstood his post, because that's not what he was suggesting.

I haven't been following all of this, but Omni you're doing fine so stay the course and just keep going with the countdown.

Next year, if you want, you could do a: advanced multi-genre action countdown, that is then folded into one master action countdown list, or something like that. Sure that sounds like a lot of calculations and charting to me, but something tells me you would be good at it.

Even if only two people voted for it and everyone else thinks it's entirely inappropriate?

I'll just say it now, people nominated ALIEN for this Countdown, not once, but twice (it's the one movie I said I've contested people over). Now...

I dunno about the rest of you, but I don't think it's any affront to democracy to vote for a post-hoc revision when a movie that is almost universally considered a straight sci-fi horror makes it into the Action Countdown, but multiple well known action stars have zero presence on it save honorable mentions.

Personally, I'm in favor of Iro's idea. I'd insist on a vote, so you'd be inclined to vote "no" or opt out if you had no preference, but I think it would be beneficial to the list.

I'm fairly sure the distinction was in eliminating non-action movies, not hybrid-action movies.

Who's "everyone else"?

It's been a long time since I last watched Alien, but I don't contest its inclusion.
