Which explains a lot about why Slam_Bradley has been hanging around here for years. He constantly champions MAD magazine and exults about the efffect it had on his life growing up as a young spud. He did like a ten-hour discussion of Sandman Mystery Theatre with crimebuster. And he particiaptes in the Cover Contest every week. Clearly, Slam Bradley hates comics. They're terrible things. I hear that they cause juvenile delinquency. Luckily they have a lot of gatekeepers to keep the vulnerable away from them.

It makes about as much sense as people who try to split hairs between films and movies with one being "serious art" and the other being popcorn fare. They're the same thing and any difference in the terms is in account of the pretensions of the person making it, not in the terms themselves. Both movies and film can be serious or frivolous, just as both comic books and funny books can refer to the gamut of things that used words and pictures in panels and/or pages to tell stories or a joke. And I find it's not how seriously or not someone takes it where people find offense in which term is used, but when people link how seriously others take it to their own self-esteem and validation of what they like it and take seriously where people get bothered by which term is used and take offense. -M I wasn't aware that there was any difference between the meaning of the words film and movie. I had a film professor in college who hated the term "movie."

Must admit, when I was growing up I rarely heard anyone refer to films as movies, except in American TV shows. It's a word which only seems to have become popular here in the last twenty years.

There isn't. But some fans of the medium who take themselves too seriously try to make a difference between them. -M

This page (567) of responses is worth its weight in entertainment value. After my workday today, I needed a touch of lighthearted silliness. Thanks, folks.

The intellectual property rights of the CCA were purchased by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in 2011. It's mostly been used on merchandise as a fund-raiser for the CBLDF. The Laws of Conservation of Mass even applies to funnybook censors.
