film hoe

The type of girl who runs a letterboxd account and loves A24 a little too much. She wears mostly black and red. Her favourite type of movies is probably thriller or horror. She is almost always in a pair of doc martens and loves zodiac signs. This girl WILL suck your dick if you watch Hereditary with her. She also definitely has daddy issues. Watch out for this girl because she is also probably into some freaky shit, hence the hoe part. (also most likely a part of wicca or a satanic cult)

Damn last night i met this girl who was a total film hoe. She wanted to netflix and chill but, she made us watch The Shining i ended up too scared to fuck and she was so into it i thought she was gonna kill me.

Film Nod

The media's adoption of names and terms from popular films.

The use of these terms shows how "hip" headline writers and on-air personalities are.

After the film "Amadeus" came out, everyone had to give a film nod by calling Mozart-Wolfgang 'Amadeus' Mozart from now on.

The word "tornado" all but disappeared in a cloud of film nods after the movie "Twister" was released.
