The level of commentary and analysis is compelling, and the retouched imagery looks terrific. <br /><br />Even more titles to add to the (growing) poster list. <br /><br />:)David.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279530091641272518.post-37353409345145773342011-08-02T21:42:40.396-04:002011-08-02T21:42:40.396-04:00I enjoyed looking and reading about your choices, ...I enjoyed looking and reading about your choices, Mark. My favorite of the ten is THE WAR OF THE WORLDS precisely for the reasons you mention though I would have liked a bit more type across the bottom. Your number one choice is a bit too busy for me. But we can probably agree to disagree. <br /><br />You've done a great job with this entire series.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279530091641272518.post-852073979177458982011-08-02T16:51:16.003-04:002011-08-02T16:51:16.003-04:00Thanks Jacqueline - That whole idea got me through...Thanks Jacqueline - That whole idea got me through graduate school!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715057178983752370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279530091641272518.post-50821099406011134302011-08-02T14:06:22.550-04:002011-08-02T14:06:22.550-04:00"The simple cursive scrawl of the film title ..."The simple cursive scrawl of the film title here is one of the best pieces of pure typography in the countdown. And although the work here obviously predates the era of computer graphics it’s telling to point out that what makes the typography here so timeless is that it simply couldn’t be accomplished via any digitized typeface or Photoshop filters. That’s why it’s so powerful — because it’s powerfully human, and therefore utterly original. Amazing both in it’s simplicity and level of detail, it’s an exquisite piece of work that mixes color, texture, and scale through both script and block letterforms." <br /><br />I love this bit, and your whole commentary about "The War of the Worlds" poster lettering, that human beings respond best to imagery drawn with the human hand.Jacqueline T Lynchhttp://anotheroldmovieblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
