Culture with Comic Sans (Part II)

In the previous block of Culture with C Comic sans and we were talking about the presence of our beloved typeface disc reissues. Well, in the film, its use is multiplied by being an audiovisual medium.

As in the previous post mentioned, there are several editions of films featuring the Comic Sans as the protagonist, but in this case is not a version of "cheap" of 6 or 9 euros, but a special edition two discs. Let's play the game

differences:
not fixed in the language of the title and try to discern which DVD of " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest " is the English version.
What sick mind it can happen to replace the original printing of a masterpiece?, How case could change the string section of a work of Beethoven a Casio organ ?

Does this seem outrageous?: For not content with changing the titles of the movies, right and left, changing fonts in movies by the producers is also quite common. And if you do not believe it, look at the following example.
... with relatively easy it is today locate one typeface (obviously the famous phrase Federico Trillo in the congress of deputies)!

This lack of interest or knowledge about typography, is what characterizes our next event: the poster commented several times and bullets Sin City. Arguably, since this is a comic book adapted movie version would be justified, but the lack of personality Comic sans for being up in the soup, remove much of the uniqueness they bring the aesthetic and the way it is shot the film. As discussed in the post of Noscope "the Curse of Comic Sans" , there are many other alternatives this hackneyed typography.
And end (the post, which examples are many) have left the most serious case in the history of cinema: Klimt, which graphically destroy the biography of a great painter providing credit to our beloved titles typography. Sorry to inform you that I can not comment further on the horror that I see these screens produce .


leave but I'll feel vomiting until the next post.
