To be honest, when I started reading the article, I thought to myself "Great, another long winded dissertation on the shape of letters", but when I read further, the article goes into so many more aspects of the movie that I was completely enthralled.
Discussion of the ship's scuttling procedure, and the odd 'destruction keyboard' layout in particular I found totally fascinating. I was actually quite surprised at the level of detail the set designers went to with this movie.
If you are not a typography fan - do yourself a favour and push through the initial part of the article and wait for the bits where the author zooms in on particular screenshots to explore tiny details like the ship/company logo on cat dishes and beer cans etc.
- scott_s 10y agoAgreed. We call that "world building" now. Where an audience can look at seemingly incidental parts of a work, and infer things about the fictional world those parts come from, because the authors designed them to be from that world.
