Forget the Film, Watch the Titles. →

You know what they say about first impressions... That’s why both Hollywood and independent studios spend valuable time and resources to create the most appropriate main title sequences for their movies.
Title sequences can be engaging or wildly entertaining, funny, exhilarating, or simply drop dead beautiful. They can be oozing with visual poetry and sophisticated imagery while others hit you hard with their bold and audacious stylistic gestures. And let’s face it. Despite what some studios seem to believe, everybody loves a good title sequence, whether it’s at the start or at the end of the movie.
Free Wilco MP3 Raises $10k for Woody Guthrie Archives
When Wilco released a studio recorded cover of Woody Guthrie’s prescient “The Jolly Banker” a little while back, they offered three payment options to the recipient of the optionally free MP3: a suggested donation of $2 or more to the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Archives, a free download (provided you “make it up to [them] later”), or you could check the box next to this snarky bit: “I am/was a banker/hedge fund manager/credit default swap trader. I know times are tough, but I’m just fine thank you. (Suggested minimum donation $100.00)”
As it turns out, not everyone pretended to be “otherwise broke” and the band has raised $10,000 to date for the Guthrie archives. “Wilco’s decision to make it available online to raise some bucks for the Archives - and raise the bucks they have!” Guthrie’s daughter Nora posted on the official Wilco site, adding that it “came as a total heart-warming surprise. In one fell download swoop, Wilco wiped the smirk off that Jolly Banker’s face and put the biggest smile on mine.”

It is so insane to me how opressive this government still behaves. Yet we are so in debt to them. Why aren’t our leaders more concerned about this government who chooses to rule in a manner that deprives their citizens with such a severe lack of personal freedom and expression vs. the ridiculous amount of money we owe them?
