Bien reçu.
 Cependant un de mes dicos :
 --------------
In standard use *nonplussed* means ?surprised and confused?, as
  in /she was/ *nonplussed* /at his eagerness to help out/. In
  North American English a new use has developed in recent years,
  meaning ?unperturbed?-more or less the opposite of its
  traditional meaning-as in /he was clearly trying to
  appear/ *nonplussed*. This new use probably arose on the
  assumption that non- was the normal negative prefix and must
  therefore have a negative meaning. Although the use is common it
  is not yet considered standard.

Exact.  On dit "standard" maintenant pour "correct".
Ce n'est pas correct.

Ce qui rejoint le film (terminé le visionnage à l'instant) qui se
  déroule entièrement à New-York.
Euh.
