If we want to denote a symptom, a condition, an abnormal tendency, or an uncontrollable urge, then we use the suffix "-itis", (it's from Latin by way of Greek and refers to an inflammation) that we may attach to almost any word we like. Medical terms such as "gastritis" or "phlebitis" are commonplace and literal, and we can make figurative compounds such as "movieitis" or "chocolatitis", which you will find already exist if you Google them.

Get the movieitis mug.Monititis, commonly known as “computer poisoning,” occurs when a patient is subjugated, either through occupational obligation, or—shockingly and more commonly—through his own free will, to endless hours of staring directly at a monitor, including those of computers, televisions, smartphones, and similar devices. Common symptoms of this rapidly spreading virus include headache, nausea, vomiting, brain damage, obesity, and frying of the retina, with more severe symptoms including vision loss, heart failure, depression, employment loss, loss of friendship, loss of a social life in general, and an overall rapid decay in moral character.
More troubling, however, are recent studies concluding decisively that patients spending more than 4 hours/day in front of the computer are likely to experience an inexplicable yet overwhelming need to devote the rest of their day to similar activities, rendered hopelessly impotent in preventing further damage.
Monititis, either mild or severe, has been found in a staggering 86% of adults aged 18-50 tested in the United States, with infection rates disproportionately higher in males aged 18-24. Scientific studies have also, disturbingly, shown that 95% of infected patients are wholly unaware of their ailment. In rare cases, a patient may consciously discover the cause of discomfort; however, most of these patients will quickly, suddenly, and irreversibly forget their ascertainment, again rendering them helpless in taking reparative action.

Get the Bad Movieitus mug.Monicitis is the disease that causes a slew of negative side effects listed in the formal post listed above.
However, recent medical research at John Hopkins University has brought several new side effects to attention.
Including but not limited to;
-Posting false definitions attempting to undermind the work of Dr. Louis Tres
-Awful hair
-Absence of linguistic formalities. For instance, if there was a building that stood for grammatical integrity, monicitis would be the plane that crashed into it.
-STD's (Yes, monicitis is an STD that apparently causes more STD's)<--- Truly a medical anomaly.
Researchers at John Hopkins have also informed me that they are currently testing experimental medicine which could lead to an antidote(monicdote). More information on this "monicdote" will be posted as it is received.

Get the monicitis mug.Glorifying and embellishing a true story for the screen. Basically, adding and making up interesting stuff in an effort to add life to an otherwise nice, but bland story. All "Based on a true story" movies are movieistic otherwise we wouldn't be impressed.
Thank God Erin Brockovich was movieistic. I can't imagine two hours about lawyers without a little Julia Roberts thrown in.
