I think of the internet "meme" of calling movies you like "Kinography", or saying that a movie you watched was "kino".

Example: Movie XYZ is pure kino



I get the use of Kino, and that's why I caveated the statement with "weird to me" immediately followed by the specific reasons it is weird to me. I did not say that it is weird because it has nothing to do with anything. It's just when someone that's been in the production world and familiar with equipment names and brands, Kino definitely has a specific meaning on first hearing it.
