I reckon that the noun usage of "film noir" is as a
collective noun; film noir is a genre. If we talk
about
Star Trek and Star Wars are we talking about sciences
fiction or science fictions or science fiction films?
Correct:
'Kubrick's "The Killing" is an example of film
noir.'
Incorrect:
'Kubrick's "The Killing" is a film noir.'
Ayep, that's what I'm a-thinking. Also trying to
decide
what I'm going to go see this weekend:
Bourne Identity
Sum of All Fears
K-19
Reign of Fire
Mr. Deeds
Stuart Little 2
Anybody seen any of these and care to comment? I've
already seen Minority Report (dang good) and MIIB
(okay).
