meleeman commented on the word pic
has anyone else noticed that Variety has been using this word instead of "film" or "movie" lately? Are they trying to start a new trend, or are they reflecting lingo that's already existing in the industry? As someone who lives in LA, it's slightly embarrassing not to know.
