ITS A FCUKIN FILM

 

'movies' are american, change the fcukin title of this forum you yankophiles!

 

unlike the box office charts over that side of the Atlantic, which is North American (yes that's right it includes Canada too) just in case you wanna get all yank loving :lol:

WE are english/british, they are FILMS...

 

well i suppose you could be really really really pedantic and say that movie is the prefered term here as that encompasses interesting ( new director/ leftfield ) stuff shot on DV as well. Cant have the big blockbuster taking up all the space now can we.

 

 

and btw isnt the messageboard software American anyway??? all that [ center ] stuff?

I think some of their words sound better. Like sidewalk, you walk at the side. Pavement doesn't really sound as good.

it doesnt need doing? its pointless

 

if you really wanna be correct it should have a note to say that most of the movies* are horror films anyway.

 

*note. i used the term movie as it came not so long after the word most,obv two m words, so i say it flowd better!!!

Erm yeah I think most people REALISED who it was ... just a case of it not being the slightest bit relevant to the topic.

Tigerboys post is a picture of a Band called 'Pavement'.

They don't sound so good so it seems ;)

well i suppose it was as relevant as this post mate, a reaction to this:

tbh its getting v like a topic that should be in the lounge.

Not really. It was still on the topic of 'Americanisms'. Sure it wasn't exactly dead on topic but it was still linked within the subject. You just posted a random picture of an old, washed-up band from the 90s.

 

Either I am pulling this thread off-topic so I'll just shut up now.

but the topic is not Americanisms its about 'movies'. if you want to be so dead on topic Rob should have posted it in the perspectives and world news area (Rob is the mod of the perspectives and world news area).

 

topic evolves, people can go to what ever area they want, one thread ended up talking about The Rules of Attraction when it started off in another place completely (google Charlie Brooker Supposing Guardfan articles for a good critic of this process)

There shouldn't even be this topic. Some say films, some say movies. As I said before, you don't say b-film.

You had no time to fit in a game of soccer?

 

I'll do that today after I go shopping at the mall :D

In all seriousness, I think "movie" is more slangy than anything. Everyone in Hollywood uses film and most critics or people who take cinema seriously use film. It's the more proper word. Not really like pavement vs sidewalk because if you tell someone to walk on the pavement in New York, he's likely to tell you the entire city is paved!

 

I want to bring back "motion picture" into the vernacular. It's so class!

Cinema and Movie forum has more of a ring to it than Cinema and Film forum IMO.

Can I actually make a suggestion as Co-Mod of this forum...?? How about we stop all this bullsh!t arguing and just call it simply "The Cinema Forum"...? This is actually the bloody title I WANTED TO CALL IT IN THE FIRST PLACE..... But, I was ignored... To me, calling it "Cinema and Movie/Film Discussion" smacks of completely redundant phrasing, I mean, what else are you gonna see at a Cinema....? A football match, a pop band, a stand-up comedian....???

 

Is "The Cinema Forum" not a simpler, more 'to-the-point' and, most importantly it would seem, a less contentious title....? I'm seriously thinking of bloody deleting or closing this topic down, because some people are getting a bit bloody silly.....

There shouldn't even be this topic. Some say films, some say movies. As I said before, you don't say b-film.

 

 

but you DO say 'b film'... there have always been 'b' films.... its only you young lot thats changing things by accepting americanisms... and i DONT think any americanism sounds better ...

Not even, like, one? :P

It's not us 'young lot'. I study film at college, and I'm going to do it at Uni too, the teacher says movies, he's about 40! Most people say b-movie, never heard anyone say b-film, and considering a lot of those films are american anyway, I think it's correct.

This topic shouldn't have even been started, why not start a thread in the lounge about americanisms? It's so pointless.
