    I think it's interesting... but I'm a geek.

    Yes, me too. To both points, in fact!

    Given your top three genres watched, how do you feel about comedies? I know The In-Betweeners was a big hit in your country (so we know nothing about it here except that it was supposed to be funny). Do you think comedy is dead? Is that particular stat a fluke? Or are you just not a fan?

    Interesting questions! The top three genres are skewed slightly because they're based on IMDb labels and IMDb labels a lot of stuff (nearly 50% of my watches) as a 'drama' then adds in what most people would actually describe it as (thriller, horror, etc.). If you take drama out of the mix then Comedy would have claimed the third spot with 55.

    I don't think comedy is dead but nor do I find myself attracted to a lot of mainstream comedies. I won't be seeing The Goon, this week for example and I didn't see The Inbetweeners (partially because I didn't watch the TV series). But, then, I watch a lot of stuff and occasionally I'll find myself in front of a Date Night, etc. I'm more drawn to the cleverly scripted smarts of things like In The Loop and Four Lions - things that try to do something socially aware with comedy.

    Average rating for the 55 comedies is 5.85 so I guess they do come in slightly below average in terms of this year's crop.
