"CQ"? What are you referring to?
I hate it when people use abbrevieations and it isn't clear what they are referring to. "CQ" could literally mean anything to me now. Sorry, not attacking you personally, nogard64, it's just something that happens on boards often enough to become annoying.
FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?

"CQ" is a film! Why didn't you look it up on IMDb before slamming someone making a very good observation? Didn't you even consider checking it out?
But, it makes me wonder: Why am I watching this lamebrained mess when I could be revisiting "CQ"?

In their defense, it IS really annoying how everyone on imdb uses abbreviations without ever referencing the full title. It happens all the time, enough that it's a fair call to not even bother looking up a title like that.
shareI've never noticed people using abbreviations unless it's a reference to movies after an initial one~"Gone with the Wind" then "GWTW" or simply "GWTW" on the film's forum.
Not to bother looking up "CQ" is foolish. After all, "A.I." and "E.T." aren't always written with the spelled-out words. What about "CJ7"? There are others, too, which have cryptic titles that might look like abbreviations. I don't consider "CQ" all that obscure, as it airs often on IFC. It's a terrific film, and I love that someone at YouTube has the bits of the film within a film put together.

If you haven't noticed you haven't been around long. It's been a plague on these boards for 10 years or more.
CQ is not on the same level as AI and ET.
It is obscure, not everyone on the internet lives in your country. I've never heard of it, and have never seen it on TV here.
I've been on line at least seven years, most of it as a member of IMDb. I've been on many forums every day; I have yet to notice it except on second mention. Oh well... I'm accustomed to initials, as it's how we've communicated favorites in friendship books and slams in penpalling for about 75 years.
But, on forums, people generally use the complete name when a film/TV series is first mentioned.

Okay then maybe you go on different movie boards? The point is, he's not the only one identifying the problem.
shareWell, I'm 2 years late to respond (but then again, so were you, lol), but here's the deal:
First, I wasn't "slamming him." In fact, I made it very clear I wasn't attacking him. Please don't put words into my mouth. It's very rude.
Second, I fail to see how I was in the wrong. The film he was referring to is obscure at best (Roman Coppola isn't exactly someone most people talk about... hell, I've never even heard him discussed in the snobby film society classes and clubs I've been to), and has a title that sounded like it as an abbreviated form of a longer title. It wouldn't have hurt for him to respond that "CQ" was literally the entire title.
And whether or not you've personally observed it, people lazily writing abbreviated titles is an issue on some boards. I can't tell you how many times I've been expected to understand vague abbreviated titles like "TM" or "TC" or "AM"... and 99% of the time, the OP will never respond to specify what they mean.
So really, what it boils down to is this... screw off, pal! If you're just going to take things out of context, put words into my mouth and be a general d**k, why should I respect you? Lol, get a life, dude. Sorry I offended your very way of life with a couple-sentence long message board post.
