Credits Report: WALL-E
Filed under: Animation », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Film Clips », Trailers and Clips »
Wall-E is such a good, sappy, funny, adventurous, touching, and enjoyable movie, that by the time you get to the end you're exhausted. Plus you probably have a single tear sliding down your cheek like Iron Eyes Cody. So by the time the end credits roll, you're looking for something to bring you back down to Earth, no pun intended. Aw, who am I kidding -- that pun was definitely intended.
Thankfully that thing isn't a Randy Newman song, although it does come via his cousin Thomas Newman who thank all the stars above wisely lets Peter Gabriel sing the outtro song "Down to Earth." Hey, it netted him an Oscar nod. The song is slow, beautiful, and plays out against visual images depicting the "new" history of mankind on the planet: cave drawings, hieroglyphics, mosaics, sketches, pointilism, Van Gogh skies ... and when it finally slides down underground and turns into a traditional credit crawl, you've got 8-bit graphics closing things out. Great stuff.
To quote Rob Reiner, "But hey, enough of my yakkin'! Whaddaya say? Let's boogie!" Check out the full end sequence after the jump.
Credits Report: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Filed under: Action », Classics », Fandom », Film Clips », Western », Trailers and Clips »
It's my bit of luck that I've gotten to do the first installment (I tried to get Weinberg to do it) and what better way to kick it off than with one of the greatest credit sequences ever? The opening to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a piece of edgy, badass beauty even without that classic Ennio Morricone theme ... and with it? Well, that just makes it perfection. If I was very clever and artistic, I would put together an art print that puts all the primary color character and film panels together, Andy Warhol style, with the title in the middle. (If someone out there actually does this, please send me one?)
There's nothing else to say about this one. The clip is below the jump. Enjoy!
