December 2, 200618 yr Author Most cinematic productions come out of Hollywood and America though i dont!.... and i object to the invasive americanisation of our language!.. its a fcukin film
December 2, 200618 yr In general though it is called Film here Jonathan Ross presents Film 2006 and not Movie 2006 etc, there is a magazine called Total Film but not one with Movie in it etc I think Film is the majority use still With regards this particular board though it is an international board and while the majority may be Brits it is still a global board and globally Movie is the term used bar Britain

December 2, 200618 yr Something similar to this, i've just noticed my local paper says soccor over football. :manson: . I think it should be film anyway.. Edited December 2, 200618 yr by ChapStick
December 2, 200618 yr I don't see why it matters. My film teacher calls them movies, and he's english. People say different things.
December 3, 200618 yr Most cinematic productions come out of Hollywood and America though Erm, not true, try the Bollywood industry in India for that mate, biggest cinema market in the world....
December 3, 200618 yr ITS A FCUKIN FILM 'movies' are american, WE are english/british, they are FILMS... change the fcukin title of this forum you yankophiles! Actually, I agree to be honest, I wasn't actually involved in the titleing of it... I would've preferred just to call it "The Cinema Forum" tbh.... I think Phil actually decided on the title... Any ideas how I would go about changing it...?

December 3, 200618 yr I saw Bond today at the movie theater but I couldn't hail a cab afterward so I hopped in my sedan, despite the crack in the windshield and the dent in the hood and fender, and took the one-way highway home (through the counter-clockwise traffic circle) so I could ride the elevator to my studio apartment, take off my shorts, pants, and sweater and eat french fries and Lays potato chips. :D :D

Any ideas how I would go about changing it...? pm phil or e-motion... but i doubt theyd do it anyway, slowly but surely we are becoming the 53rd state of america, this might be trivial in itself but seriously our language is now being littered with americanisms,.
