Art of the Title: A Brief History of Title Design

Published by

This is a fun little video for those who like title design (and who doesn’t?). It’s a presentation video for the SXSW “Excellence in Title Design” competition screening which features brief moments from over 70 movies and tv show’s opening credits (or title design if you will). It is a bit interesting that some titles are not even featured in the video, but the person who created this is obviously way more creative then I am, so I’ll assume I am an idiot that doesn’t get it (much like I do with Harry Potter). A full list of movies and shows can be found just below the video.  Props to artofthetitle.com for a great job. Enjoy! Full film and television listing: Intolerance Phantom of the Opera King Kong Modern Times My Man Godfrey Make Way For Tomorrow Citizen Kane The Maltese Falcon Gun Crazy The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Lady in the Lake Fallen Angel The Thing Singing in the Rain The Man with the Golden Arm Anatomy of a Murder Psycho North by …

Compare the First and Final Shots of 55 Powerful Films

Published by

This gorgeous supercut features the First and Final shots used in some of the most powerful and iconic movies of the last 40 years. It features the haunting music from American Beauty (yet doesn’t feature a shot from the film itself) and although it’s tough to argue with the choices made for this supercut, I think we can all agree one film painfully excluded from the list is Herbie Goes Bananas. Oh well, try to enjoy it anyway. Films used (in order of appearance): The Tree of Life 00:00 The Master 00:09 Brokeback Mountain 00:15 No Country for Old Men 00:23 Her 00:27 Blue Valentine 00:30 Birdman 00:34 Black Swan 00:41 Gone Girl 00:47 Kill Bill Vol. 2 00:53 Punch-Drunk Love 00:59 Silver Linings Playbook 01:06 Taxi Driver 01:11 Shutter Island 01:20 Children of Men 01:27 We Need to Talk About Kevin 01:33 Funny Games (2007) 01:41 Fight Club 01:47 12 Years a Slave 01:54 There Will be Blood 01:59 The Godfather Part II 02:05 Shame 02:10 Never Let Me Go 02:17 The Road 02:21 …

Why Would We Post This?: Spoiler Alert! Supercut

Published by

Screen Junkies make some pretty good videos over on that YouTube thing, you should check em out! This video is an interesting one, it is a Spoiler Supercut of some of cinema’s greatest twist endings. Why make a supercut like this? Good question. Maybe it is because they are the Screen Junkies and have actually seen all of these movies and assume anyone else who has may appreciate the video. OR maybe they want to see how dumb people on the internet are and despite numerous warnings of spoilers will still watch this video and complain. In my opinion, unless you have seen most of these movies, you wouldn’t really understand most of these spoilers out of context but in case I’m wrong, maybe don’t watch this video if you haven’t seen (or don’t want to spoil) these movies: Citizen Kane, Fight Club, Primal Fear, Signs, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chinatown, The Empire Strikes Back, Psycho (1960), Carrie (1976), Scream, The Sixth Sense, The Departed, The Shawshank Redemption, The Crying Game, Invasion of …

Fake movie products: Not so fake anymore

Published by

Ever wanted to throw on your Drive inspired scorpion jacket, lace up your power-lacing Nike shoes, spray on a little Sex Panther Cologne and head over to Big Kahuna Burger or perhaps Bubba Gump Shrimp for some Booty Sweat Energy Drinks and Stay Puft Marshmallows? Then come home and wash away your disgusting day with some soap from Fight Club? Well there are only two problems with this. First off, why would Kahuna Burger or Bubba Gump sell energy drinks or marshmallows? Second; all these places and items are fictional products from movies, so this would be impossible, right? NOPE! Guess what butt-head, you can now buy and/or visit all of these things in real life! Oh yeah. Check out this article from Screen Crush. All these items really do exist now thanks to people who apparently have no fear of copy-write infringement. So I hope you enjoy never tying your laces again and smelling like Bigfoot’s dick, cause now you can have both with your own Nike Power-Lacing Shoes and Sex Panther Cologne! Enjoy. Oh, …
