Thanks so much for the shout-out and support! At this moment, I’m actually well past my original goal – which is incredible. Pardon me, I mean, jaw-dropping-as-a-mothereffer incredible. I owe all my inspiration to do something to Nick Cannon, et al.
Ooooh, best opening/title sequences?And no Saul Bass?
Some others that spring to mind:
Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Manhattan (set to Gershwin)
2001: A Space Odyssey (set to Strauss)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (set to lips)
Catch Me If You Can
Enter the Void (not for the epileptic)
And some ties (for potentially obvious reasons):
Boogie Nights/Touch of Evil/The Player
Barbarella/Lost in Translation
I was starting to think you’d forgotten about that topic! You did it justice. Well done.
I hit enter too soon! So I meant title sequence – not opening sequence. But either way, it was a good, if not short, segment.
I do think the guy from the Guinness commercial is creepy – not just creepy, but smarmy. And sorry Heidster, but this guy is totally from New Jersey.
Bet – go see 56 up soon! I can’t wait for the ensuing conversation.
And… those Would You Rathers – they are getting downright nasty!
