It is Independence Day, but I don't understand why people call it "ID4".
|
Everyone I know calls it ID4. I don't get why we can't call it by a short form?
What's the big deal anyway of not calling a movie by it's full name? Is there a penalty we're unaware of for doing so?
Edit: The movie was also marketed as ID4. So calling it "ID4" is actually in agreement with the marketing campaign.
|
I don't care if you or anyone (including the makers) call the movie by a short form. I'm just saying that this particular short form is stupid. Like I said, it would be like calling a movie called Christmas Day, "C25". Pretty dumb, no?
|
It's the name of the movie. The marketers market the movie to be called ID4. Christmas isn't a movie, nor is it being marketed as C25, nor will we call it that because we are familiar with the holiday season being called Christmas. I have no problems calling a movie ID4 because it's a "MOVIE." Do you follow?
Why do we call Montreal Canadians "Habs?" Why not Montreal Canadians, or Les Canadiens de Montreal? Habs was a nickname given to them by Madison Square Garden owner Tex Rickard. Don't you think it's pretty dumb that they're called Habs based on something made up by Tex Rickard?
Edit: I just realized I wrote a lot of stuff that shouldn't matter to you. Cause why would it? You think it's dumb, and you're entitled to that opinion. I obviously don't share the same opinion.

I don't have anything against nicknames or shortforms like "Habs". Again, and hopefully for the last time, I just think the particular short form of "ID4" is stupid. It's not the fact that it is a short form or nickname.
Is that perfectly clear? [/b][/quote]
Again, I'm here to tell you I DON'T think it is stupid based on my reasoning. To me, your reasoning is may be clear to yourself, but I find it moot. Then again, you're entitled to that opinion, no matter how non sensical it is to me. Is that perfectly clear to you?
