Eh, a few things:

* It's easy to be caught up in your own outrage and not realize that other people aren't as into it. This sounds like one of those moments.

* Your friend might've missed your somewhat abrupt segue and thought you'd changed subjects. They might've been relieved that at least you stopped ranting about the subject that doesn't interest them as much as it interests you and seized upon this subject change as a means of escape.

* Sometimes difficult topics makes people uncomfortable, and they react nervously or seek comic relief just as a break.

Like okay, maybe your friend wasn't the most sensitive person, but you're not entirely innocent, either. It seems to me like you also failed to accurately "read the mood" that your ranting was resulting in a pretty one-sided conversation with an audience who wasn't receptive. Find a more receptive audience, and you likely won't have this problem.

Also, FWIW, I'm sure the friend feels positively humiliated now.

You were discussing movies, not real-life murders. When the conversation changes tone like that, that sort of thing happens.

I'm sure abject humiliation is the exact thing OP intended. They're so cheesed off they had to come here and tell us all about it even after their friend apologized.
