Fun with Typography...

From Wikipedia: Typography is the art and techniques of type design, modifying type glyphs, and arranging type. Type glyphs (characters) are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type is the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing) and letter spacing.

Fight Club
... David Fincher’s adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s was one of the greatest films ever. Fight Club the movie or the book was the most controversial film of the year. But still it set the mood of the landscape of the American male for many years. I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise...


Who’s on first
... While many people have claimed to have written this skit it has only been done well by one comedy duo. Even though Rain Man said it all the time. Most people have never really heard the whole thing from beginning to end. Well have fun...


Good will hunting
... Matt Damon and Ben Afflec’s first foray into Hollywood included some big name actors... One of them was Robin Williams as a great psychiatrist. Probably one of William’s finest performances. Not counting Dead Poet’s Society.


Ocean’s Eleven
... While 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven was basically an exercise in fashion over film making it still stands as a great piece of film making. The Rat Pack’s 1960 film is substantially different that it seems to stand on its own. Next time you watch the film watch Brad Pitt eat during the whole film.


Red vs. Blue
... For those who do not know Red vs Blue was an animated series based on Microsoft’s famous Halo. If you ever have four hours to waste I suggest you pick up the show or watch it on the Roster Teeth Productions web site.


Thank You for Smoking
... This is one of the greatest satire films of our generation. I remember driving around and going to the other side of the river to see this film because it was only being shown in one theater. Needless to say I missed it and I drove home with out seeing this great film... If you have not seen it check it out...



V for Vendetta
... This film would be nothing with out Hugo Weaving. His voice carried his whole performance. It is difficult to portray any kind of emotion to anyone when you are wearing that mask. I think everyone should memorize this speech... I know I will... lol...


Wedding Crashers
... This film practically created the adult comedy genre. It is rather unfortunate that from this great film we get crap like Knocked Up. Oh well...


Pulp fiction
... Enough said...
