Killer Bees On Horseback -- Once Upon A Swarm In The West

Henry Fonda, one of the greatest actors of his generation, was in many classic films, including the Sergio Leone masterpiece Once Upon A Time In The West.

Fonda was also in The Swarm. That's right the Irwin Allen movie about the killer bees that you used to see on late night TV; now it's hopefully in the free stuff on Amazon Prime or similar.

I thought what could be better than to combine these two films. So I give you Once Upon A Swarm In The West. 

Note: No one will be allowed to leave the theater during the thrilling "bees on horseback" sequence.

Font Trek: The Graphics Picture

Alright I'll admit it: I am a font junkie. I'm not a graphic designer but I love the many, many fonts which have been created over the years for books, movie posters, and advertisements to name a few places.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture has one of the sleekest, coolest fonts there is, one that was arrived at, no doubt, after much thought and deliberation by the filmmakers and the studio. It is a timeless style. But what if they went down a different graphics route? I put together some alternate fonts for fun, including the font perhaps most often used in science fiction movies/TV and books for the 1970s. And I am not talking about The Brady Bunch font.

Requiem For A Bigscreen TV

Flint, the Immortal Man from the #TOS classic "Requiem For Methuselah" has a nice TV in his den but not only is it not 4K it is not even widescreen? Where does he get his tech toys from?
