MAKING USE OF CINEMA AS AUTHENTIC MATERIAL WHY?

“VTR films for EFL are not made by MGM on a Star Wars budget. Ursula Andress does not surface from the waves in order to exemplify “wet”. They are made by ex-EFL teachers somewhere in the nether regions of the BBC, on very limited budgets” P. 116

WHY CAN’T WE MAKE USE OF A FILM WITH URSULA ANDRESS EXEMPLIFYING “WET”?
