a friend sent me this. it's too good not to share.

WHAT THEY SAY/WHAT THEY MEAN

STATELY= Nothing happens for two hours

MYTHICAL/LEGENDARY= It's high melodrama but they like it so they call it this.

JINGOISTIC= The most overused word for the past year or so. Means the film doesn't agree with their political views.

BITTERSWEET= Half the cast dies

POIGNANT= All of the cast dies

GRACEFUL= See STATELY

DRY= Same as STATELY but with no dirty parts

TENDER= Lots of pointless staring

REWARDING= Nothing happens for the first three hours

UNIQUE VISION= Historically inaccurate

OVERRATED= Everyone likes it but them

SADLY NEGLECTED= Bombed in the theaters

FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE= A movie no one else wants to see by a director no one has ever heard of on a subject everyone wants to avoid.

BRITISH RESTRAINT= A derogatory term that means the lovely heroine remains fully clothed throughout the entire movie. (GASP!)

SUBTLE COMEDY= Not funny
