I like it when a Web site chooses a name that spells out its purpose explicitly, yet still manages a bit of unexpected humor. Such is the case with Forget the Film, Watch the Titles, which showcases an eclectic array of film title design. My favorites are the ingeniously simple ones, like “The Tall Blond Man with One Red Shoe,” which is nothing more than a pair of hands doing banal card tricks, and “Ex Drummer,” which rolls back a long sequence in reverse. There are some duds, too, though, like “xXx: State of the Union,” which succumbs to the recent trend of virtual cameras flying dramatically in and out of corny CG-animated spaces. Anyway, there are almost two hundred of these at the site for you to waste an afternoon on. Enjoy!
