Definitions by Gustave Meissenschein

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.

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'."

Spielboner 

n. an erection attained in response to an enthusiasm for the work of filmmaker Steven Spielberg; used euphemistically to refer to cinema greatly indebted to Senor Spielbergo
-Whaddya think about that new joint J.J. Abrams joint "Super 8"?
-I dunno. Guess it could be okay, but looks like it's got a giant Spielboner.
