: : That's cute how films and movies.. hmm. So you're saying previous efforts were movies, and now he's making films. There's a difference between the two? What? The money put into them? That doesn't make sense. He put all he had into each film, therefore, they are a film.
: It isn't a matter of money. It's a matter of quality, and the expression of the art. And as for Kevin putting "all he had" into each film, this is hardly the case with either Mallrats or Dogma. Mallrats was bankrolled by Universal, and Dogma by Miramax
Film is what a movie is shot on. A movie is a moving picture. All of Kevin Smith's films\movies are shot on film and are moving pictures. Period. I hate it when people try to use film as a pretentious definition of a movie. Coin a new phrase for Christ's sake.
