Has anybody seen this film? It is a film about addiction. This doesn't always include drugs, but includes television, money and body disorder. It is a fantastic movie - a real moving one. I love it... and am about to watch it again.. so thought I would share it, and see who else loves it.

[Misawa]

A fantastic picture.

Not seen it but it's one of my girlfriends favourite movies, she's seen it many times.

[Magnetez]

A fantastic picture.

Picture? Did you jump right out of Sunset Boulevard or something? Picture?

[Misawa]

Heh. I use a variety of terms for film.

Since a film is a moving picture the term "picture" is fine.

Since a film is a moving picture the term "picture" is fine.

Fine, I'll refer to my mobile as a cellular electronic device, and my desk as a tree.

It's the pretense that is applied to referring to films as "picture"
I would consider, under your philosophies, a silent film to be the absolute definition of a "moving picture". If Misawa hated the music and sound of Requiem For a Dream, then so be it.

[Misawa]

"Picture" is just short for "motion picture". A lot of people say it, namely people such as Martin Scorcese.

[Magnetez]

Well now Scorsese says it, it's fine!

Humbug. It's just a rather pompous choice of wording and you can't deny that.
