Some musings about the auteur theory, auteurs, who we should be praising, and why. I might have gotten a little mean with this one. Then again, maybe it's about time we start rethinking one of the most ubiquitous approaches to understanding film.

I'm posting this on my last night in New York before going to my family for the holidays. It's been a long, rough year for everyone and I'd just like to thank you all for sticking with me. Your support means so much, and I feel like I don't say that enough.

Happy Holidays,

- K

"Kaeleesi" was a great aside, thank you and goodnight.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but can the term Auteur be applied to creators outside of films? I feel like this kind of behavior and worship of individuals is super prevalent in video game makers such as Hideo Kojima but I don't know if there is a word for that.

That's not a stupid question! Sorry to butt in- I study art history & cultural theory, and auteur is used to describe video game makers in various theoretical engagements. I don't know that it's a 1:1 equivilence, and video game theory is not my area so I can't even say how useful the term is when applied to game makers. I can only say that yes, some theorists do in fact use that term for video game makers who are heavily in control of the overall end product.
