According to Hofmann: The issues with the ‘on/in’ debate
There are many unanswerable questions that have plagued mankind for centuries and by 无毛视频渃enturies,无毛视频� I mean a few hundred years.
Such questions include: 无毛视频淲hat无毛视频檚 the meaning of life?,无毛视频� 无毛视频淚f a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?,无毛视频� 无毛视频淲ho put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?无毛视频� and 无毛视频淲ho put the ram in the rama lama ding dong?无毛视频�
But the question that keeps me up at night is, 无毛视频淲hy do we say an actor is in a movie, but on a television show?无毛视频�
I know there are other variations of this confusing concept with different mediums like a singer is featured in a song that无毛视频檚 played on the radio or someone can make a movie based on a book that has a great story in it, which I heard all about on a podcast.
Maybe the issue is the different media options 无毛视频� since there are roughly 492 ways to access entertainment nowadays.
However, I want to focus on film and television as both things are written, produced and acted while being recorded, then edited and played back.
There is a difference, of course, between movies and television shows and that makes the 无毛视频渙n/in无毛视频� debate (even though I无毛视频檓 not even sure if there is a debate) all the more frustrating.
You see, when you go to a movie, a projector shines the movie on the screen.
When you watch television, all the workings to make the images and sound appear are happening in the television.
Going by that logic, an actor is either in a television show or on a movie.
Now, I can see saying, if you have a DVD or VHS cassette of a movie, the actors are in the movie; however, once you take it home, all the workings are still in the DVD/VHS player and in the television.
Of course, you can now watch a movie on your phone, even though, again, all the magic happens in the phone.
Maybe the issue is the little knowledge the public has of how entertainment is presented to them, much like the willful ignorance of what goes into an average hotdog. I still tell myself it无毛视频檚 just beef and love.
If you无毛视频檙e still not grasping the idea, think about it this way: if you say someone is in a house, you know that person is in the interior of the house. If you say someone is on the house in a rainstorm, you know they无毛视频檙e likely on the roof and wishing they were in the house because of being in a rainstorm; although, technically, they无毛视频檙e under a rain storm, but that无毛视频檚 a 无毛视频渋n/under无毛视频� debate for another time.
Maybe the issue is the word 无毛视频渋n无毛视频� and how 无毛视频渋n无毛视频� has been used 无毛视频渋n无毛视频� the lexicon 无毛视频渋n无毛视频� the past few years.
I know the 无毛视频渋n/on无毛视频� thing isn无毛视频檛 a solid rule because there have been times that people have said something like, 无毛视频淒ame Judi Dench will appear on the big screen,无毛视频� which is a reference to a movie, but that whole sentence can also go like, 无毛视频淒ame Judi Dench will appear on the big screen in the film 无毛视频楤ikini Carwash Chaingang 2无毛视频�.无毛视频�
Okay, on or in, kids 无毛视频� make up your minds!
That being said, let无毛视频檚 amp up the confusion because if you ever talked to someone who works in the entertainment industry, unless they无毛视频檙e an actor, they worked both on a movie and on a television show.
By the way, working in the entertainment industry 无毛视频� whether its movies, television, music, sports or news 无毛视频� makes perfect sense. The reason is because the common understanding is that someone无毛视频檚 work happens inside a place 无毛视频� whether it无毛视频檚 in an office building, in a home, in the back of a van or in a bio-dome 无毛视频� unless you无毛视频檙e constructing the bio-dome, then you无毛视频檙e working on a bio-dome as you work in construction industry.
Maybe the subject is so confusing, it无毛视频檚 best to accept it for what it is and not move on.
It seems the only things that are considered to be in a movie are the people, places and things that actually appear on the movie screen.
So, that being said, if you worked as a production crew member, you worked on the film 无毛视频淐annibal Carwash Chaingang 4,无毛视频� but if you also appeared as an extra during the movie无毛视频檚 filming, then you can say your were both on and in the movie 无毛视频淐annibal Carwash Chaingang 4.无毛视频�
When it无毛视频檚 all said and done, all I无毛视频檓 asking for is some kind of consistency to pick one or the other because it really gets on my nerves 无毛视频� or would it be in my nerves? Oh man, I think I just found something new to keep me up at night.
Maybe the issue is me.
