Professor: In the next segment, listen for the words "cheesy" and "special effects."
P: You like Titanic? That movie is so cheesy.
E: It's not cheesy! It's romantic. When it first came out, I saw it in the theaters five times in one week.
P: Really? Well the special effects might have been good in 1997, but when you watch it today they make the film seem really cheesy.
E: Alright, maybe it's a little bit cheesy. But come on, isn't it fun to go to a cheap flick once in a while?
P: Actually, I have to admit that you're right. I like some pretty cheesy movies too. I love Arnold Schwarzenegger action flicks, especially "Terminator."
E: Haha, that's definitely a cheesy movie too. Did you watch it over and over again?
P: Well ... I saw it only once, but for the next two months when I talked to people, I pretended I was the Terminator.
Professor: Winnie, Did you notice that a "cheesy" movie can easily be called a "flick"? They both mean that the movie is low quality or low-brow.
的确,不少flick都是为了迎合大众口味,比较俗气的片子,这种“cheesy”的电影一般就是消遣一下,看过就忘了。
Professor: But apparently Peter really got into the "Terminator" character! Now we're going to learn about words to describe action movies and horror movies. Listen for the terms "gory," "gross me out" and "freak me out."
