I'm contemplating on writing either a noir film, an exploitation film, or just a regular drama-coming of age film. Please discuss. If you don't know what those films are exactly, here's their wiki pages. They would probably be able to give you a better description than I could. :)

I prefer exploitation films. I think they provide a really good plot.

I'm thinking I'm going to think of some ideas, and whatever idea I like the best, I'm going to start writing. In terms of exploitation films, I prefer Tarantino films such as Death Proof or Pulp Fiction.

I actually have never seen a noir film, but I do understand what they're meant to be since I've read about them. Since I haven't seen a noir film, I think the idea of writing a noir film would stay "fresh" in my mind. I love the style to them.

Do something like Mean Girls, Trav.
Stupid-funny.

Mean Girls was not stupid-funny. Stupid-funny is American Pie, The Hangover, etc. Mean Girls is smart-funny. :) Get your facts right, Katie. <3
