So here's my question. How do you feel about referencing a scene or character from another movie in the action description?
Example:
"They're face to face, only she's upside down. Like in Spider-Man, only reversed."
Just an example, but how do you feel about that? Would you do it? Do you do it? Do you feel it pulls the reader out of the story (like "we see" or camera direction)?
When writing the first draft of my latest, I threw in a line like this, and I'm not sure how I (or more accurately, others/readers) feel about it.
So what do you think?
