You still don't get it, do you?

I'm from Reddit and I love this place, also. Oh, does that make you mad? So very mad? Oh, you seem quite mad that there are those of us from Reddit who also enjoy coming here and hanging out with you cool guys. We like it. We REALLY like this place. Oh, we're not leaving. We're sitting right here, friendo. You like that one? "Friendo?" It's from No Country For Old Men. I know tv memes lol!

You think this is your own private utopia, your retreat from the world, your clubhouse to hang out with your other rebels, but guess what? We Reddit folk found it. We found it and we like it.

And we're not leaving.

please note that flick/movie doesn't necessarily mean bad and cinema/picture etc doesn't necessarily mean good.

it's a classification not a judgement of quality

>>64169645
Kino > Cinema > Film > Movie > Flick

Picture refers to all of them.

Thanks. This is starting to make sense.

Although TFA seems like it may also be movie, though I haven't seen it. And Mulholland Drive certainly has the makings of a film.

Hello redditor, enjoying the site?
>>
>>64171555

Here's how it is, friendo. You're not going to like it, but all I offer is the truth.

You can not stop the oncoming tide of what you perceive to be "le randum reddit post-millennial newfag summercancer" people from coming to this site. Or any site. Or any nation. Ever. Our numbers are too strong.

What you CAN do, however, is this. You can take a giant step back from yourself and ask, "all this crying about the past, all this whining about the present and all this despair for the future - does it make me a genuinely happy person? Does my knowledge of the idiocracy enlighten me? Does it hold me and reassure me on a cold night?"

Chances are, everyone who desperately clings to the "good old days", the answers to these questions probably aren't what you believe are "positive". Chances are, you probably fucking HATE yourself. Why don't you do something that distracts you from your smug, arrogant self-righteousness, for a change?

Take up a hobby. Take a walk. Lift. Oh, you'd be surprised how much better you feel, after a few weeks of doing a nice, light weights program to get those joints and muscles moving.

Maybe then there'd be less of you insipid, whining cunts making stupid fucking threads like this.

So these terms are basically used as a more pretentious rating system?

Essentially, yes. Autistic rebels who claim, "fuck the system!" use these terms because they're different, dangnabbit!

>>64171665
Just give it up

>So these terms are basically used as a more pretentious rating system?

nope. a picture can be really good but be just a good movie, not a film. ie. Forrest Gump, which is very solid, but doesnt want to explore deeper aesthetic or conceptual notions.

its a qualitative scale. there is minced meat, and theres pretty great minced meat, say top tier perfect minced meat. and theres a gorgeous and juicy t bone steak.
