I just noticed the missing ‘T’s in the poster. That, sir, is dedication.

I could rave about and dissect this movie forever, but really I think the best praise I can give it is this:

I thought that I hated concert movies, until I watched Stop Making Sense. Now I want to MAKE concert movies.

For one thing, the level of collaboration between Byrne and Demme is remarkable. The staging (and the dancing… oh, the dancing!) is all David Byrne’s genius. Demme’s genius (which I think gets lost when talking about Silence of the Lambs, for instance) is all in that opening shot of Byrne’s white tennis shoes on the scuffed, uneven stage. The movie is messy, but in such a painstakingly-constructed way. Even a cool, hard-hitting documentary with serious Vérité cred like Gimme Shelter can’t approach Stop Making Sense in terms of pure awesomeness.

Oh look, I raved on and on about this movie anyway! Fuck my life.

On an almost-related note: have you seen Fearless Freaks? Because you should. And I think it’s still free to watch on Hulu.

On another almost-related note: Apparently David Byrne was rocking out with Thomas Dolby at TED last week. Sounds legendary. I can’t wait until that video finds its way onto the internet.

I TOO AM BEEN ENGAGED ON THE “BRASIL NO” – FOR ALMOST 13 YEARS NOW, WITH NO SIGN OF STOPPING. IT’S A BLACK-MARKET OIL TANKER OPERATED BY DOMINICAN PIRATES AND CREWED BY SLAVE LABORERS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CRUISE SHIP, THAT’S HOW THEY GOT ME ON BOARD. I’M STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND. BRASIL NO

#10 is an abbreviation for three words, not an actual word in and of itself. Cheater!

That’s a really gorgeous final design. I love how the hanger interacts with the text, the muted color palette–and pitch-perfect typography.

Eagerly looking forward to the poster. I love seeing process work from graphic design projects.
