[info]amazingaudrey and I wanted to see Rachel At The Wedding tonight but when it took approximately twenty-five minutes to get our bill at dinner, we missed the screening and ended up seeing Rocknrolla instead. cut for spoilers )

This sounds beyond amazing: Happytime Murders, a film noir muppet and real people detective movie. I'm ridiculously in love with this idea for some reason, with the caveat that they keep stupid cameos to a minimum.

I forgot to mention this last night, but my favourite part of Body of Lies was when a variety of terrorist email addresses were flashing across this one guy's computer screen and there was a user by the name of "jihadboy2". LKJASDL:KJASKLJ WHAT. I'd complain that this is phenomenally lame, but if you look at the email addresses of the average fifteen year-old they're exactly like this (although usually without jihadist sentiments) so it was both accurate and awesome.

I'm doing this for your benefit

A little bit of designspiration for you: 50 beautiful movie posters and awesome typewriter ribbon tin collection.

I have an incredibly intense love for Saul Bass, btw. I just found a really great site that lists all his title sequenecs and then goes through a brief cycle of screen shots from those sequences so you can get the gist of what they're like. I used to have a really awesome Bass-esque font on my computer that I used on my Atomic Age layout, but I've since lost it in subsequent hard drive failures and can't find it on the net anymore. Woe.

ETA Also, a great article on type design on Mad Men. I love stuff like this.

oh yay, the Emperor returns

I was feeling morose and cranky so I took myself to see Body of Lies tonight, thinking Leo might be the cure that which ails me. cut for spoilers )

Ew, I'm refreshing the CBC website repeatedly for election updates and the Conservatives are winning. Someone please deliver me from evil. People of British Columbia, I beg you!
