Art of the Title - Star Wars
The excellent Art of the Title talks to the person who did the Star Wars title sequence. There's some interesting details in there about how the sequence came to be, the challenges of shooting it, and the multiple logos for Star Wars.
Actually, let's make it a double feature. For more details on the logos, this article from a couple years ago remains the gold standard and has some cool graphics. I mean, who wouldn't want this on a t-shirt?
Happy Friday
Furious cat punches stuffed tiger
No, we're not going to do a Star Wars Happy Friday link. The obvious choice would be Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the Episode II premiere but that's a bit too inappropriate and making fun at someone's expense for us to feature it here. (It is, however, hilarious.)
Instead, we feature the light side and the dark side in real life: a cat. This cat gives in to the dark side and tries to beat the stuffing out of this tiger by throwing punches like Conor McGregor.
