I have the same problem with horror movies. I only watch very occassionally, so once sat through a bunch of horror movie previews and nearly had a heart attack. I went to a slasher flick with a date (her idea) and she just calmly watched and ate her popcorn while I squirmed and covered my eyes.
But on the other hand, sometimes a person is extensively read in a catagory because they are more tolerant of certian plot tropes. I usually feel like a mystery is cheating me with bait and switch clues, so don't read many of them. On the other hand, a mystery reader might call it cheating if it turned out that murderer was able to establish his alibi by using a time machine.
