A movie like Brainscan is unique. The characters in this film only exist in the time that the movie was made. Brainscan can almost be called a period film today due to its embracing the troubled...

TLDNR REVIEW: “Amazing Spider-Man” is almost good, just like powdered mashed potatoes are almost real.
Look, guys. I realize that anyone that is reading this review has already made up their...
Dammit, I was about to edit my first post and add that! Damn you connection issues!
Always thought the standard Dreamworks intro was really sweet. Pixar's is just so simple, cute, and elegant. I kinda wish Disney went back to that kind of simplicity with its iconic magic kingdom intro, but that's not gonna happen.
Especially since most of the lower-tier production studios probably won't be around in a couple of years. We seem to cycle through several of them every few years.
Having grown up more on the 20th Century Fox logo of the 90s, the Cinemascope one kinda drives me insane with its tilted 0. I have this pressing need to straighten it!!!
As cool as some of these are, I'm getting a little tired of having to sit through three or four of them at the start of every film.
This. I've always hated it, but it's getting to the point where even a dumb audience is laughing at it. It wouldn't be so bad if each logo itself wasn't an epic short film.
The CBS/Fox logo was always a VHS favorite (and that awesome music!)...it was attached to the old Star Wars trilogy VHS tapes, the unmolested versions. There was a raw grittiness to the old logos I liked...and the CBS/Fox one looked like you were flying through the death star trench.

I was thinking this exact thing when I saw The Iron Lady recently. That shit had no less than FIVE film company logos. By the fifth one I thought, "These assholes really need to form a conglomerate or something because this is just stupid".
I mean, what the fuck is that one with people happily walking in a park fading into an image of a girl banging on a drum? I hate that one. THE FUCK DOES IT MEAN???
I kinda like the ones that fool me into thinking that the movie has started. I also hate them. JUST START THE MOVIE.
Side question: Which major studio tends to allow movies to play with their logo the most or incorporate them into the film's own aesthetic? My gut answer is Warner Bros (Harry Potter movies, primarily).
I REALLY hate that Warners has replaced that red, black and white logo with the shield logo on so many of their older films (specifically a few of the Dirty Harry sequels).
It's like it gave up right before the finish line! Hahahha
One that I never realized my affection for: the Universal logo of the 80s and early 90s. When it kicked off Drag Me to Hell, it was a very welcome sight. Got me in the right mood.

First place is Warners. Second place is Fox. I still remember opening night of Alien 3, audience cheering when the lights went down, and the second the fanfare stuck on that one note, audience went dead silent.

I really do love the Disney opening fanfare. It's probably just a Pavlovian response built up since childhood, but whenever I see it I immediately anticipate magic.
It's not TV, it's a monolith like entity from outer space
That UA one has always been one of my favorites. It always sucked me in when I stumbled upon it in the days of pre cable guide channel surfing, because it made me think some horror film or thriller was starting. The MGM/UA one is pretty good too, though less ominous:
Another favorite is Toho:
Especially the Tohoscope version:
And especially when there is Akira Ifukube or Masaru Sato music playing over it
Also, yeah, the 20th Century Fox fanfare still gets me excited. And yeah, it's largely a Pavlovian response from a childhood spent watching and loving STAR WARS.
This was in front of the Ghostbusters tape I grew up watching. Needless to say, every time I watch the film, even today, I still have a slight expectation of the flying HBO letters before the Columbia logo.
