I am not prepared to be dismissive of something because it makes me uncomfortable. Some of the best things in the world have being uncomfortable as their defining characteristic.

All horror movies are comedies and all comedies are horror movies. Both transcend their genres.

I want to know more about why Blu rays are preferable to other formats, why some movies look like soap operas on some TVs, etc. Anyone know of any decent resources for that sort of thing?

Thriller and Suspense are just codewords for horror films that people enjoyed when they don't want to admit to liking a horror film.

They are two subgenres that exist in the part of the ven diagram where horror and drama overlap.

I have no problem with horror films and there are some films that are clearly "thriller" to me and others that are clearly "horror". But there are enough movies that blur the line that the terms aren't that useful or trustworthy if you have to absolutely split movies between the two.

Could you not summon fishmech and the guy with the VLC avatar at the same time. Our visual memories don't like remembering soap operas and remembering the habbit part 3 at the same time.

Yeah, I'd certainly associate "thriller" more with espionage and political suspense type stuff, instead of horror.

Horror is such a broad genre that it's almost meaningless as a qualifier. A Field in England, Bride of Frankenstein, and Cannibal Holocaust are all considered horror, but they're very different in terms of visuals, narrative, and intent.

Isnt that true of basically any genre? Science Fiction runs from Attack the Block to Metropolis via Star Wars and Children of Men. Comedy is possibly even broader, unless you want to tell me the visual and narrative similarities between Spinal Tap, In Bruges, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and The Tramp. Genres NEED to be farily broad because you are trying to classify all films ever made into a small number of catagories. You can start to hyphenate ("comedy horror", "sci-fi-action") but honestly once you add more than 2 genres together it gets far too narrow to be useful for catagorisation.

Yeah tbh horror, like metal, is actually one of the more useful genre descriptors, as people who are into one sub-genre of horror/metal are likely to be receptive to other things which fall under that genre umbrella

Here's an article about the "soap opera effect". Basically: it's a feature of TVs that artificially adds extra frames to the film (called frame interpolation) to give it a smooth look. It's terrible and it's turned on by default on most sets, which is why everyone's parents' TVs look that way.

Science fiction is bound by certain thematic constraints. I don't disagree that comedy is a very broad label as well, but films in that category all follow a specific goal, which isn't necessarily true for horror. You can't really make a good comedy that's not funny, but you can make a good horror film that's not scary.

Someone should've told him that sex usually doesn't involve watching TV so if anything he should've tried even harder to get laid so he wouldn't have to look at the interpolation.

In Reservoir Dogs, why does Mr. Orange continue following the crooks after the heist went tits up? He just stood there when Mr. White greased those cops.
