      Not only did I immediately think of that, I paused this video to watch, then came back. GMTA.
      EDIT: oh jeez, then right after I typed this, they referenced it. GMRTA.

    Good point about movie title being the first movie character we see and about the absence of title in modern movies. Brilliant thoughts!

    12:05 was already an existing font before Poor Things. I used it in a short film back in 2014.

      it's lettering, not the ms word font

      @@AugustRx I don’t think that font has anything to do with word (could be wrong though)

    You missed a trick by not calling this video (which is genuinely great btw) ‘Type Casting.’

      I did, but I’m confused on the A, D, and O. I think A is from the first Avengers but it looks slightly different, the D looks like the Into the Spider-verse but is the wrong color, and the O looks like a cross between Transformers and Robocop, but not quite either. All the others are pretty obvious but these three confused me. What’re anyone else’s thoughts?

      it goes: Back to the future, avataR, Avengers endgame, termiNator, spiDer-man: into the spiderverse, the Lord of the rings, ghOstbusters, the Godfather, transfOrmers... so the guesses were pretty spot-on.

    Think it's quite funny she talks about all the technical limitations of the past when most typography choices these days are super boring and basic.
