Tone

Does anyone else think this reads like a sensationalist essay? --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 08:17, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the material it surveys is sensationalist—that's what exploitation movies are—so that may be affecting your perception of the article's tone. But let's see. Would you please quote us a couple of passages that you find "sensationalist"?—DCGeist (talk) 09:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tone isn't neutral or encyclopedic at all. It's informative, but it's essentially editorial. "Blaxploitation. Zombies. Mafiosi. A catchy theme song, "Supernatural Voodoo Woman." And Marki Bey as Sugar herself, hair "relaxed" by day, afroed by night. AIP's Sugar Hill (1974) is an exploitation era example of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a "complete artwork."" This isn't tone neutral or in the prescribed style at all and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally copy-pasted from another website. --Pathogen (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't. I wrote it. Before you accuse fellow Wikipedians of plagiarism, do some research.—DCGeist (talk) 23:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Existence?

I'm a bit confused about this entire article. As others have said, it does not read remotely as an encyclopedic text-- it's almost pure essay (and it seems like it's never been very thoroughly edited.) I'm not sure if there's a way to fix this, either-- the topic is essentially just a passion project from the original contributor. I feel like the majority of text here, if the article is kept, needs to fall within the scope of what would be appropriate on the B movie page itself.
