    Where I want to live:

    A place without mosquitos.
    A place near the shore.
    A place with interesting culture and nightlife.

    EXT. NEVADA DESERT

    PRODUCER FRANK MARSHALL immediately proves his commitment to using CGI “only when necessary” by featuring completely necessary CGI prairie dogs in the first shot of the movie.

    A bunch of cars drive through the DESERT to AREA 51. HARRISON FORD’S SHADOW, then HARRISON FORD’S SHOE, then HARRISON FORD’S ARM, then HARRISON FORD’S HAT and finally HARRISON FUCKING FORD are eventually revealed.

    First question: How many of you have seen the recent, beautiful documentary on Helvetica? Helvetica has a rich Modernist history, is breathtakingly ubiquitous and is evocative of order and authority. Is it really the be all end all of typography? It may be excellent on road signs and for making American Apparel seem like a place you should amble into and throw some dollars towards. It is, however, as many a web designer knows, not the ideal font (as it is a font on screen and has more limitations than has print typography).
