I still don't get the whole thing about loving something because of its director, or cataloguing/associating it in your mind with a director. *shrug*

Anyway. Weird.

Well it's only the same as loving books by the same author, isn't it?

When I think of 'Woody Allen films' I don't think any past the mid nineties even come into my head.

With the exception of Zelig, I don't care for most of his work after the seventies. I love Sleeper and Bananas.

I love Manhattan Murder Mystery and Bullets Over Broadway, I think they're the most recent ones I like. ('93 and '94) They are properly funny, not 'subtle dramas' like he's done recently.

Alright, well books too.

Ummm..... okay, like loving sitcoms by the same writer?

David Renwick or something.

Nope! :)

Unless we're talking about coincidentally liking stuff by the same person(s).

Wellll, if you saw a lot of films, say, and you noticed you liked a lot by the same director, you'd start to seek out his work, because you obviously have a lot in common with him, he always casts actors you like, writes scripts you like, etc. Has the same quality control as you.

That's just not how my brain works. Buuut if that system is good for you, then fair enough I suppose.

Tim Burton. Lovey

You and your Deppetish!

(That's Depp fetish... er. Yeah.)

Well *reaches desperately* don't you find you always like the work of say... Sid James?
So you trust that anything you haven't seen yet that he's involved with, you'll probably like?

Hehe!

I'm feeling very Depp today. I asked my friends to buy me rum and steal it, just so I could wander around asking where it had gone.

Deppish?

Well, the actor Skeet Ulrich could be described as Deppish. And that's a different thing altogether.

Lovey

Thankyou for that zooo. Can he act at all?
