A Brief History of the Alan Smithee Alias Used by Movie Directors

You heard that right. Strap in for an amusing yet to-the-point tribute to the ultimate name you don't want your film to be credited with: Alan Smithee.  What are some good movies that just so happen to share this "stage name"? Where does the line begin to blur between simply disagreeing with the studio and totally disowning one's own work? All that and the amusing way in which this practice was ultimately discontinued by the Director's Guild!  Special Thanks to Not a Bomb Podcast for sharing some of this key trivia.   SONGS USED: "Shiny Tech" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ "Summon the Rawk" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  "The Whip Theme (Extended)" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  "Urban Gauntlet (High Quality Version)" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
