Smallmouth Bass

Saul Bass is the fcuking BASSt when it comes to designing graphics, logos and titles, but did you know that he did the title credits for the 1988 movie Big?  sadly, it looks like he didn’t really bring any BIG ideas to the table, and kinda phoned it in.  Italics and double underlines?  Saul, c’mon man, you could do that in yer sleep.  heck, I could do that in your sleep!

Projection Erections

Goldfinger‘s opening title sequence is the very first title sequence to enter MoMA’s collection, as a design work in its own right.  DAMN RIGHT, YO!

scenes from the film were projected strategically onto hottie Margaret Nolan‘s never quitting body.  Nolan played Dink in the film.  She had her ass slapped in one of the best ass slaps in movie history

designer and art director Robert Brownjohn conceived, designed, and directed the title sequence.  he also did the title sequence for the preceding Bond flick - From Russia With Love

so what’s the next title sequence to make it into the MoMA?  hmmm, how about anything Saul Bass ever done did???
