'Just Rewards (2)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And we can only use the names of directors and authors in this way when they're associated with genre films or genre fiction.
Totally disagree -- directors get to be called auteurs when their individual styles trumps the style of the genre they're working in, and that's the point at which this kind of usage generally comes into play. I'd argue that if you're using the creator's name, genre is explicitly not the point you're trying to convey.
You know that old saying about hitting someone's hand with your face?
I think I just did that, but with Ozzie's teeth and my finger, while I was giving him a pill.
Ow.
Thanks, Jessica, that's what I was trying to get my brain to cough up.
eta: I've done that (with my cat, not Ozzie). Ow indeed.

I agree with Jessica here, in terms of movies.
In terms of books, though, it seems like most of the times when you use the author's name, like "I read three John Grishams," is when the author's books are kind of all the same. Except that I can think of a ton of exceptions. So I'm not really sure what the guideline is, but it seems to be different for books than for movies, and I've got no clue what it is for music.

Too bad that site gives me a headache with the flashing and the glavin.
