"...Bond film series auteur Albert Broccoli..."
when idiots use a fancy word they don't know the meaning of... keep on keeping on, dankfart!
Auteur: A filmmaker, usually a director, who exercises creative control over his or her works and has a strong personal style.
What's wrong with Schwankert's usage? Broccoli, though a producer rather than a director, is probably the one person that is most strongly associated with the Bond films (at least until his death in '96).
And the films certainly have a certain style to them that transcends the directors themselves (11 different people in the history of the film series).
Talking from a complete novice's perspective here, frankly I'm not a big Bond fan to begin with.
