By the way, I never use "cinematic" either. I can agree on that one. Another daft word is "biopic." And I don't get "best picture" at the Oscars either. It's a film, or, far better, a movie. (I'm on your side there, yanks - Mrs Steve isn't!). And oop north, we'd go to the flicks, but we didn't say "I'm going to see a flick."
