Thou shalt not, when naming thy film, book, television show, song, nor any other work of art, use the following hackneyed formula, for it is an abomination:Present Continuous (ing) Verb + Person’s Name
Let us not add to the list of:
- Chasing Amy
- Judging Amy
- Serving Sarah
- Regarding Henry
- Regarding Sarah
- Regarding Billy
- Finding Forrester
- Saving Silverman
- Saving Private Ryan
- Understanding Jane
- Becoming Jane
- Deconstructing Harry
- Being Julia
Etc. and etc…

nice post title! i dig the self-irking going on there...
i'm pretty fond of "chasing amy." i'd probably trade it in on the rest of 'em.
I just can't believe you overlooked "Educating Rita"
Don't get me started on adult films, there's some verb + name titles!
hey ad -- please notice that i ended the post with "etc. & etc."to indicate that this was no means an exhaustive list. i'm well aware that there are hundreds of titles i've left out, which only supports my initial point. enough with this formula already!
no comment on the adult films front.
ad - when you refer to adult films are you speaking of "Shaving Ryan's Privates"? A classic movie. And one deserving of such a title.
