Douglas Adams

“People will then often say “But surely it’s better to remain an Agnostic just in case?” This, to me, suggests such a level of silliness and muddle that I usually edge out of the conversation rather than get sucked into it. (If it turns out that I’ve been wrong all along, and there is in fact a god, and if it further turned out that this kind of legalistic, cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back, Clintonian hair-splitting impressed him, then I think I would chose not to worship him anyway.)”

- Douglas Adams in an interview with American Atheist

Sorry for my second Star Wars related post this week, but this one is too good not to put up. Often the opening credits to a movie define the tone of the film and help get the audience (hopefully) to the place the filmmaker wants them. Here is the opening credits to the original Star Wars animated in the style of Saul Bass. It really shows just how far an opening sequence can go in terms of defining a film’s feel. What if Star Wars had started off like this, instead of the famous crawling text and orchestral score by John Williams?

Here is a 3 year old explaining Star Wars… it’s pretty interesting what she focuses on in her summary of Episode IV (the original Star Wars). Enjoy!
