Fetishistic Advocacy for Speed in Titles | Art of the Title

Seven sequences of stirring mobility.

Between driver and destination burrows transmutation. The road spreads and the governing need is not to arrive, but to go. What better odyssey of thought then a speeding sojourn into darkness? You may burn (may you burn), you may soar (may you soar).

FALLEN ANGEL

Road sign credits overlay the dark winding artery. The tremulous camera adds an unease heightened when the bus driver turns and stares. His was our initiatory point of view…and now his eyes are not on the road.

THE GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE

Jack Cardiff’s “The Girl on a Motorcycle” has us zipping along the Interstate in half-steady, half-cocked woozy acceleration.

REPO MAN

The opening sequence to Alex Cox’s “Repo Man” is perfect punk pixelation; distillation of a bitmapped nation. With Iggy Pop’s ripping fucksweat beat and the stringent static map motion, everything about the credit sequence moves, not unlike classic punk poster art. We throb into the blipping bulls eye: a space that is nothing less than the beginning.

NATURAL BORN KILLERS

The title sequence for Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers” feature, among others, the madness of Patti Smith’s track “Roll N Roll Nigger” and a back seat POV that seemingly takes its cue from brash noir “Gun Crazy.”

LOST HIGHWAY

Plunging the dark horizontal depths of possible collision/possible arrival, David Lynch and title sequence designer Jay Johnson perhaps borrow from Jack Cardiff’s “The Girl on a Motorcycle,” and Monte Hellman’s “Two-Lane Blacktop” for the speed dream start to “Lost Highway.” The variable velocity puts you ill at ease while the atmospheric thrust of David Bowie and Brian Eno’s track, “I’m Deranged,” imbues the cryptic mix.

U TURN

Art of the Title is willing to bet Oliver Stone had one hell of a shot list for the opening credit sequence that features nicely delineated aesthetic for every episodic bend of this very long drive (the gradual matting of Sean Penn’s hair tells the story). A scratch type “crossroads crucifix” is added to the director credit. Drugs and vultures follow. Exacting inserts detail the small truths of time and place.

MULHOLLAND DR.

The crooked black melodrama, the kind that David Lynch traffics in exclusively and without peer, is set within the weird, sinking delirium of Angelo Badalamenti’s score. The distance between our hovering eye and the shadowy, almost woozy conveyance coddles the curiosity.

Which Swedish Virus in Japan has infected a million people?

Crushers original keyboard (Japanese translation seriously.) Video games and increased androgen man turns out to be more instinctive aggression (American Studies)

ビデオゲームAccording to scientists at the University of Missouri study, the increase in male hormones in their violent video games to play multiplayer, when confronted with problems concerning their reproductive and territorial males of other animals I like that found similar hormonal responses indicate.

The guy called me a male instinct, the men went wild with it, I'm called to be more aggressive.
Unreal aggression: A study of male hormone and games

Study, see a game called Unreal Tournament 2004 will use him, 42 college students who were the subjects were randomly allocated to a team of three. Each subject was "out-group" and other game modes to play against the team, "the group" made a play in two game modes that compete with his teammates.

Unreal Tournament 2004

Before making the actual game, each team was given six hours of rehearsal time together. Immediately after the group beat out, the winning team male students, significantly higher testosterone levels than losing team. Contributed the most to win player of the team, especially tended.

In other animals, a similar hormonal response occurs. Higher testosterone levels in males compete for all, increase the competitive ability and aggression, the most successful male, they are often significantly higher testosterone levels after the fighting.

Interestingly, when fighting with teammates in a group match in the tournament, all players testosterone levels fall, won the best male students are the lowest testosterone levels. Such a reaction that could be an evolutionary mechanism to dampen competition in the population.

These hormonal responses, as well as physiological responses to protect territory or in a group fighting for reproductive or other animals in the male, suggesting that the men shown on a video game man The. Unreal Tournament multiplayer video games like the 2004 type, strategy and cooperation with other group members are men, joined together to battle, that could eliminate the threat to reproduce the social status may.

No wonder the game too excited, that's not the case is going great. You mean that I'm wild instincts aroused.

THE DEVIL’S BACK IN TOWN Between The Ice Storm and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, director Ang Lee made Ride with the Devil, a beautifully crafted and viscerally thrilling film about the American Civil War, told from an unorthodox point of view and starring Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, and Jeffrey Wright as conflicted Confederate sympathizers. At the time, however, Lee wasn’t able to see his vision all the way through. At the studio’s urging, he delivered a project that was more an action picture than the ruminative, idiosyncratic drama he’d intended; details were cut and the pacing of certain scenes (including the devastating Lawrence Massacre set piece) altered. Now, with the help of the Criterion Collection, Ang Lee presents Ride with the Devil the way he intended, in a restored director’s cut, available in both Blu-ray and DVD special editions. “Thanks to Criterion, I finally have the opportunity to do the material justice,” Lee says. “With the addition of eleven minutes of footage, it is what it’s supposed to be—a bigger movie. It really breathes like one, and the complex history comes to life. Ride with the Devil is a true American story, and I love it.” Complex history comes to life in this clip of Bushwhackers Jake (Tobey Maguire) and Jack Bull (Skeet Ulrich) encountering a wealthy, Union-fearing landowner.   ALSO RECOMMENDED: THE ICE STORM WALKER YOUNG MR.
