Well, it could be the journey the characters go through. Maybe they overcome great obstacles, like in a Romeo and Juliet kind of way, which makes it epic.
Sure. 'Titanic' is a great example. Jack and Rose from different social classes fall in love on the ill - fated ship. They face many difficulties, including the disapproval of Rose's mother and the impending disaster of the ship sinking, but their love endures.
A story can be 'kinda funny' when there are unexpected elements. For example, if someone is expecting a normal day at work but then their boss shows up dressed as a clown. The sudden deviation from the norm makes it funny.
Humor often comes from the absurdity in a story. If things happen in a way that defies normal expectations, like a cat acting like a dog, it can be 'kinda funny'. Also, self - deprecating humor in a story where someone makes fun of themselves in a light - hearted way can also contribute to it being 'kinda funny'.
I don't think it's common. Most people would use more straightforward phrases like 'lack of new stories' or 'no new types of stories'. This phrase 'no new kinda story' has a bit of an informal and almost poetic feel to it that isn't typical in everyday language.
I don't have enough information about the 'Tooth Nail DVD' to say if it has a new kind of story. There are so many DVDs out there with different kinds of stories. Maybe it's a remake of an old story with a new spin, or it could be completely original. We really need more details about what's on the DVD.
I haven't heard about this 'Tooth Nail DVD' in detail. But if we consider the idea of a 'new kinda story', it could mean a fresh take on a genre. For example, if it's a horror - themed DVD, the 'new kinda story' might involve a different kind of monster or a new way of scaring the audience, like focusing on psychological horror rather than just jump scares. Without more information, it's hard to say for sure.
