What an absolutely wonderful idea for a blog.

I'd beseech you to do Metropolis, but I feel like that'd be a relatively short post, so to speak.

Simply astounding. Wonderfully done. The wealth of typographical research into various movies is almost Limitless. Twelve Monkeys couldn't pull me away from this. Regardless of what Her's got to say about it.

The haircut machine in Moon blew my mind, I can't believe it actually exists, and on such a prestigious domain name!

Two posts in and already my favourite blog. The editorial rigour, attention to detail and depth of knowledge are outstanding.

This is great.

I remember the first time I watched Moon and felt like I recognised the style of the design. Then later in the film when I saw the vehicles I thought to myself "That looks like massively like Gav's design"; referring to Gavin Rothery who I'd worked with a number of years earlier at a games company called Pure Entertainment.

We both worked on a title called Lunatik, which was a futuristic space game - I did the Playstation 3D graphics engine and he worked on the concept models for the spaceships, cities, etc. Very bladerunner-esque.

When I left the company we lost touch, so it was very nice to see his name up in lights on the credits 10 years later - and to just recognise his style without knowing that he'd worked on it.

"It certainly does suck!"

> He’s keeping count of his days on the Moon with a dry-wipe marker on the bathroom wall. By my reckoning, this is 146 days and counting – not quite the nearly-three-years mentioned in the plot:

No, but 3 years is remarkably close to 146 weeks.
