New exploitation genres of the 21st century:

[Taufiq2u]

Since we saw some new experimental cult films and TV shows, and the return of Grindhouse films, i think it's time to name some new genres:

Brit-Masculine - Films where British stars drive cars, kill people, act cool and have sex. Notable examples: Shoot 'Em Up(Clive Owen), Casino Royale(Daniel Craig) and Crank(Jason Statham).

Sci-Bi - Bierotic behaviour or action portrayed in a space opera or science fiction environment. Notable examples: Doctor Who, Firefly and Torchwood.

Arabsploitation - Films where Arabs are portrayed as heroes or anti-heroes against adversaries usually of Western kind. Notable examples: Valley of the Wolves - Iraq.

Rothist-Miikeism - Simply called "torture porn".Horror films by the likes of Roth, Aja, Wan and Lynn Bousman. Features gore and shock tactics based on surrealist horror elements of Takashi Miike.

Apocalyptic Western: Modern day apocalyptic, or post-apocalpse films with Western settings. Notable examples: Planet Terror, The Hills have Eyes and Mad Max.

Libsploitation: Liberal or anti-Neocon films that usually features liberal protagonists against Conservative adversaries. Notable examples: Shooter and Redacted.

What else? Are there any more new film genres?

Utter Crap and More Utter Crap.

EDIT:  I'd rather not kill a joke by saying more, but I am not using this as just a snide remark.  A lot of these "exploitation" movies have been so exploited that its old and tired now.

I don't think I've seen a single movie of this nature. If there are any films where Arabs play badass hero roles, they aren't being released in America.

Haven't seen that but man I love the idea of Arabsploitation.

Can we get Tarkan to make an album of Arabsploitation music ala Isaac Hayes' Shaft?

Though that may be Turksploitation.

I have to object to Sci-Bi as a genre clumping. I mean, for crying out loud, Doctor Who just has one bi character, and he appears in a grand total of eight episodes. You might as well call it Sci-American for all the relevance and weight it has. You can't name a genre just for one character. Blacksploitation or Teensploitatoin get that name because they are thickly populated with relevant examples.

Cagesploitation: Nicholas Cage wanders around acting moody in a film thick with dead-end subplots and bad dialogue. "Wicker Man"

Fantacrap: A mixture of fantasy and crap. Eragon is a good example.

Good point. I'm sorry, i'm so sorry.

Let's not forget Pathfinder, The Last Legion, Dungeon Siege and The Seeker.

Libsploitation: Liberal or anti-Neocon films that usually features liberal protagonists against Conservative adversaries. Notable examples: Shooter and Redacted.

Oh yeah, there's been plenty of those. Don't forget V for Vendetta!

How about CGIploitation, where movie studios make cheap animated CGI Pixar/Shrek wannabes always labeled as "The comedy event of the year." Good examples are any animated CGI movie except Pixar movies or Shrek.

I never even thought of that....  Throw in the Asylum releases that rip off the bigger ones also.......


and Phantom of Krankor, you forgot about the fact all those cheap animated CGI films also get recognizable actors for them (there's on recently about fish that features Freddy Prince Jr)

[sarcasm_made_Easy]

nerdsploitation: comics, novels,video games, board games, and etc all based on pre-existing stuff that had a decent nerd base pre-established  xmen lord of the rings etc

[mrbasehart]

KidLitploitation.  Sounds vaguely obscene, but the amount of movies that have been made recently based on children's books alone is pretty impressive.

[bratpop]

Fratsploitation: comedies exploiting the fact that fratboys think anything inappropriate is funny; Superbad, American Pie, American Pie Presents A Direct-to-DVD "Movie"; Old School, Van Wilder, Van Wilder Presents Someone Other Than Van Wilder, etc.

Lipsploitation: the films of Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie.

Sequeltojimcarreymoviewithoutjimcarrysploitation: Son of the Mask, Evan Almighty.

3dsploitation: anything they're showing two minutes of in vainglorious 3D at twelve Imax theaters.

Huxtablesploitation: anything with black people wearing sweaters, living in the suburbs, drinking wine or champagne without a brown paper bag, and driving SUVs. Usually with an author or filmmaker's name above title that nobody recognizes.

Don't forget Dumb and Dumberer and the upcoming Ace Ventura prequel. (However much you might want to. ;^))

Sorry, I DID forget Dumb and Dumberer, proving that yes Virginia, there is a God. (And possibly a Santa Claus.)
