a learning process

and now for a look into the film snob's dictionary.

today's word is: Movieness

stock hack-crit term used, like a more fun version of postmodern, to denote a director's or viewer's hyperawareness of filmic conventions and techniques. watching kill bill's gory, kinetic fight scenes, you can sense tarantino exulting in the sheer movieness of moviemaking.

this has been a look into the film snob's dictionary. join us again for another word that will never make you feel smarter, but always a bit more pretentious.
