Play Time

I wanna confuse genres today. I don't think I've done that before. The idea is really niche I suppose. But I was just thinking about this today and got excited. What I'm thinking is something like make a movie that is like a play, or better yet a poem! I'm writing a play that is actually a novel right now.

The thing is, genres have the things they do, their own rules. And rules are gay. And the bets way to unsettle them is to make them take a good hard look at another thing's set of rules. This is really one of the basic tricks of pomo stuff I know, but I still think it has some value. I mean, how many times have you seen a movie and knew everything that was going to happen and all of the stupid tropes already. Now if a play got in there and messed with it you'd have to take a second look at your expectations for both the play and the movie. Of course the simple fact that anyone does this hybridizing move once means that you've built up a new thing that can become another stupid solidified genre. And that is why you always need to do it different. Forever and always.
