  No. It's called willing suspension of disbelief. People do it for
entertainment purposes.

  I like tense scenes in movies. For example some of the scenes in
"I Am Legend" were pretty tense, and thus cool. Also, when I watched
"The Grudge" some time ago, it also had pretty tense moments.

  Of course I let myself *willingly* get immersed in the movie to get
those tense feelings. It's not like I would be unable to take it all as
a silly joke, but if I rent a horror or thriller movie, I *want* those
feelings. A movie which succeeds in giving me those feelings is a good
movie.

  Now, are you calling *me* stupid because of that?
