Unfussy consumers of noir movies ignoring current shot (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omnivores

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unfussy consumers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'noir movies ignoring current shot' is the wordplay.
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'noir'+'movies'='noirmovies'
'noirmovies' with 'i' taken away is 'normovies'.
'normovies' with letters rearranged gives 'OMNIVORES'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for omnivores that I've seen is " They eat anything".)
