Sometimes a movie adaptation of a novel I’ve read is popular, and when people refer to the actions of the characters they would say the name of the actors instead. Recently it was with Dangerous Liaisons, and the imagery was somewhat strange.

    My three usual reasons in order of most to least common:

    • I remember the actor’s name and not the character
    • I’m describing the movie to someone else and they don’t know the character
    • I’m intentionally disrespecting the movie in my description implying it’s not worth my effort to learn their names
