Why don't we end our movies with a "The End" title card anymore? It's such a grand way to close a story. Plus, it allows us to effectively carbon-date a film based on just six letters worth of typography – thanks to this collection I stumbled onto while chasing some internet rabbit trail today. Nice work!
These next two remind me of Ed Ruscha paintings. (I realize that what I mean is the Ruscha paintings remind me of the old movie titles.)
That last one looks almost modern, doesn't it? Only by comparison – it's from 1964 (John Ford's Cheyenne Autumn). Of course, there is the Marlboro man there in the background isn't there?
Okay, The End!
