I’m sorry, Sam, I know “genre is what I say it is,” and you’re Potter Stewart, and we’ve gone over it and you don’t want to hear it.
But Bourne is genre-related and Harry Potter isn’t?
Actually I’d call Bourne sci-fi before I said the Simpson’s was.
Regardless, Potter is definitely a genre film.
And the Band Played On!
But “Stardust” is genre, and you all should go see it!
