The scaling of the vertical axes is bugging me :(
-
I was wondering how I'd missed so many sci fi movies until I saw your comment...
-
Oh I didn't even notice that. Yeah, that's bad.
-
Yeah. That's just awful. Wow.

The lack of decades on every x axis other than the bottom bothers me. This is not a cool guide.
-
Normally that indicates that all the x axis are the same. If that's not true here, then that's an issue. But I don't see any indication that it's not.

Blazing Saddles came out in 1974 and practically killed a genre.

So which category are the marvel/"every obscure comic character gets their own file series" films?
Fantasy? Thriller?
-
MCU should probably get its own graph, which starts as a line going straight up.

Action

What different thriller/horror? They same?
-
One of them has zombies, the other has zombies that dance.

Both contain Vincent Price

"Psycho" is a thriller. "Halloween" is horror.
-
Think of thrillers more like rollercoaster rides - they’re fun because they’re exciting and sometimes scary
Horror is more like haunted houses, they’re fun because they’re scary, which is sometimes exciting
This is the interesting thing about genres - they’re often abstract and can blur definitions easily. The same way we don’t consider a hot dog or a pop tart a sandwich, even though you can often find the definition of a sandwich in each.
-
Horror is blood and gore. Thriller is scary (ghosts etc) but no (or only little) blood.

Friday the 13th vs gone girl.

Can you please slow down with the reposted drivel? This one even got removed by the mods on Reddit, FFS!

Now do a heatmap of jaccard indices

I wish they would make some new good westerns. It is like all new stuff that is made is so 'remake' or 'next number'.
