Do you not have a kinoplex?
I read all of this, but I feel like I didn't. What did you do to me?
What the fuck is kino
“Kino”, from the Greek “kine”(to move), is Internet slang for a motion picture. In particular, it is used to denote works with special artistic merit. The word is also used to describe events and art bearing a cinematic quality either in concept or execution.
Internet slang is a lot like German.
Stupid and will get you weird looks at the function
And popular with the Nazis.
Is that what 4channers mean when they call anything else kino? I shouldn't have asked this in a thread about a fake movie theater
Yeah, it basically means “thing that is novel/bold/stylish enough to not look out of place in an art film”.
It's German for "cinema". No idea, if that's the context, though.
eating -> dining
cinema -> kino
WTF did I just read?
What a whimsical tale
