VIDEO: The Greatest Movie Title Sequences, Together at Last

So as we noted , SXSW goes beyond the basic Audience and Jury prizes and also doles out honors in categories like Poster Design and Title Sequence. At the screening honoring finalists in the latter category, juror Ian Albinson put together this nifty video, A Brief History of Title Design .

Weekend Forecast: Can the Devil Beat James Cameron?

It’s the end of August — a historically stolid climate both outdoors and at the movies.
