Btw, you do know "Alan Smithee" is a Hollywood term? Union rules mean that every movie has to have Director credit. When there is no director willing to take the blame for a movie, the name "Alan Smithee" is used for director credit.

The name "Alan Smithee" means "anonymous and doing something shameful".

I do not know if alansmithee means his choice of psuedonym to say this.
