It's on the blog. I'll update the link in the thread.

Read through it, and while I can't really add anything (yet. Relistening to a lot of episodes right now) I am glad that there are good examples of what things are as well.
God loves you!

Filling in plot holes with ideas, events, or other elements not present in the film itself.

"Bring your own asphalt"...
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Re: What Are You Doing, Movie? :: Glossary
It's a tough term in general, because you want the audience to bring their own pavement to an extent, you don't want the movie to necessarily spell everything out. Lots of great films deal in ambiguity and letting the audience do some of the leg-work. The phrase really kicks in when the movie is lazily and badly written and doesn't know what it's about, and tries to rely on the audience making up absolutely crazy amounts of back-story and inference to try to justify what is supposed to be going on. Prometheus being a prime example of this.

like i allways said the movie world is not the real world just because the real world we see it every day and we usually want to see our world like a fairytail bun like in blender used by a beginer you can see is not really a fairytail so people construct a fairrytail to enter in a imaginary world , we know is a imaginary world is a screen with some effects there , i know that for sure .

Listened to the Thor documentary recently, and I really liked the "Rainbow Bridge" or "Bifrost" term. Meaning when a character goes through an obvious transformation arc but the movie does not make it clear when or how this happened. It's a bridge from A to B, but intangible. And Thor (wherein is the actual Bifrost) is a perfect example.
You have to put it in your glossary, as I'm now convinced that perfect reference is the only reason why that movie exists.
Witness me!
