'Film' has all the wrong connotations... like calling a walkman a 'portable tape-replay apparatus' or the radio in your car a 'wireless'. Or having a handlebar moustache. The only people who use the word 'film' are (a) students (b) critics (c) producers who are trying to raise money from the National Film Board of Canada. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
