I’ve added a page for key terms that are important to this site. I am open to suggestions and will add new terms as warranted, or if I feel like it.

Since it is also the site’s name, I’m also posting this entry here.

An Endless Clip: A source of ammo in a movie that never runs out; a weapon that never is seen, or appear to need, to be reloaded. An endless clip can run out if there’s a plot point that requires a weapon to run out of ammo.

Initially called an infinite clip, the name was changed because one can, according to some sources, find free pornography by Googling “infinite clips.”

This example from Inglorious Bastards shows all combatants having endless clips—in fact, our heroes don’t even bother to carry any ammo with them during the film. Note that at one point a character does run out of ammo because it might look cool if he hit a German with his unloaded machine gun.

I was going to post more today, but the weather’s pretty bad.

Maybe I’ll try tomorrow.
