queue amnesia

noun. A condition in which lax attention to one's Netflix queue results in the arrival of surprising (and usually disappointing) selections.

(Upon opening his mail:) "Oh, fuck. A couple weeks ago I was throwing anything they wanted me to into my queue to fill it, then I got busy and got some queue amnesia, and now apparently I have to watch the fucking 'Joy Luck Club'."

one-titty rule

a cinematic axiom defining classy, "artistic" nudity; Hollywood nudity is typified by exploitative close-ups and medium shots that both light and frame titties for the clearest view possible of the entire upper torso; art cinema, conversely, tends to abide by the one-titty rule, by which, through either framing, lighting, or, staging, or some combination of the three, only one nipple is visible at a time.

Sure David Cronenberg's "Crash" is possibly the most sexually explicit movie of the notorious pervert's career, but the Canadian master is careful throughout to observe the one-titty rule.

Spielboner

n. an erection attained as a result of an enthusiasm for the work of Steven Spielberg; used euphemistically to refer to cinema indebted to that of Senor Spielbergo

-Whaddya think of that new J.J. Abrams joint "Super 8"?
-I dunno. I guess it could be okay, but it looks like it's got a giant Spielboner.

Linkterest

n. a portmanteau of "link" and "interest" referring to the degree to which a reader is compelled by an online headline to click through to read the entire article

I was going to find out which A-Lister Yahoo! expected to stand out on the Oscars' red carpet, but their headline didn't fill me with enough linkterest.
