    It’s weird, because OP says “form” of entertainment, but everybody is reporting “piece” of entertainment.

    I’m drawing a blank of form of entertainment. On piece of entertainment… I mean, I don’t know. I don’t get excited for things pre-release. Hopeful, at most.

    I’ll say that the first Spider-Man movie is SO much worse than you remember.

      I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this :P

        I don’t know, I don’t like throwing dictionary definitions around in arguments as if they carried any authority, but in this case those two phrases mean very different things. I genuinely misunderstood what the OP meant. I think if people don’t understand what you mean it’s not really nitpicking.

          It’s not a well-phrased question even beyond your mention of form vs piece. My brain kept freezing up the second half because one word didn’t make sense following another. I had to turn my mind off and unfocus to read the title as a whole to understand what they were asking.
