from what I gathered, film + ic is an Americanism dated between 1925 – 1930 and cinematic’s Origin: cinema; short for CINEMATOGRAPH is mainly British from 1895–1900; < F cinématographe, equiv. to cinémat- (< Gk kīnēmat-, s. of k nēma motion) + -o- -O- + -graphe -GRAPH... Interesting, huh. I prefer the fancy "cinematic". Both are used in better circles. But I really liked Reihaisha's poem. Playful, but who won?
