Saul Bass: Not Coming To A Theatre Near You

Though I'm by no means a movie buff, I can't help but enjoy the work Rumsey Taylor puts into his "not coming soon to a theatre near you" site– which assumes a bias towards older, often unpopular, and sometimes unknown films which he believes merit a second look. For me the site has a particularly interesting section called Titles Designed By Saul Bass. With a well done intro by Rumsey, a review by contributor Jason Woloski and contributing editor Thomas Scalzo, the whole section is a great resource whether you're a Bass fan or a movie fan. Check out the entire notcoming site for yourself.

“He was an extremely important mentor for me. He is well-known for being tough and hot-headed, but also incredibly smart. He showed me a set of operating principles, how to articulate an idea, an impatience with theory and a passion for practical experience. I didn’t learn diplomacy from him, but he taught me the value of telling people the truth and letting them sort things out for themselves.”
