Tyler Perry's Big Happy Family

[KSig RC]

While it seems awkward to me (as someone only moderately familiar with the man's works) that most/all(?) of his projects are labeled as "Tyler Perry's ______________", there appears to be a lot of the same ol' post-hoc, insular "I liked his old stuff better"-ism that infiltrates any artistic or cultural phenomenon that has elements of 'ownership' among fans.

Congratulations, you've turned Tyler Perry movies into hipster music!

His production company's name is Tyler Perry Studios, so it's kind of Like "Disney's The Little Mermaid" or "DreamWorks' Shark Tale"

Ah, I see - and again, it's not a specifically-"Tyler Perry" thing, directors and even producers are often attached to their projects specifically (DrPhil's James Cameron example earlier is a particularly illustrative one, because James Cameron sucks, yet gets full billboard space), but something that you notice after time.

I appreciate the insight.
