    Comedy looks popular but I feel lucky if I watch even one decent one in a given year.

      A lot of films are categorised as Comedy “something” these days, most notably Comedy Drama. I imagine this counts towards the stats.

        I fucking hate modern categories.

        If I see Lord of the Rings listed in my science fiction category again I’m gonna reach through the internet to back hand whoever decided that through their computer screen.

        No, The Expanse does not count as Fantasy.

        Is it fantastical? I guess.

        Does it fit the movie genre of Fantasy?

        Fuck no. It’s 'Hard science fiction" as in science fiction based on real world science. Star trek is more soft science fiction. Possible, but basically magic to us. Star WARS on the other hand, I’d say fits into both.

        Most of my gripes come from science fiction categories and how their movies are labeled. I swear I once saw Bridget Jones listed in science fiction.
