Cut these guys a break, ResidentAlien. I'm a film student too, but I don't go round correcting people. Besides, there are big budget movies out there that claim they're films, when they were really shot in HD (like the Star Wars prequels). And if you really want to get technical, I would just like to point out there are only two cinemas in the world that use digital projection. Every other cinema had digital movies telecined in reverse to film and technically can be called a film because a film projector is used for viewing in the cinema. But, like you I wouldn't call it a film, but that's really a matter of perspective. And I have shot on film so I do understand and know the difference quite well. Especially the expense.
