I can't tolerate most TV because it's too violent. The last movie i tried was "Spy" with Melissa McCarthy and i had high hopes because i so like her but there were five murders within the first 30 seconds so i fled. For me, it seems to depend on how gratuitous the violence is. I loved "Breaking Bad" and for a long time "Natural Born Killers" was my favorite movie. I think i was able to enjoy the latter because there is such a strong love story amid all the violence.

But, i sympathize. My ex-husband used to get so frustrated with me because i would pick the lousiest movies at Blockbuster. Once i got us "My Left Foot" about a quadriplegic painter and he was so mad. He just wanted to watch Arnold splatterfests.
