Hi Gary,
One possible title that I don't think has been mentioned yet -- /Scott
Pilgrim vs. the World/, if you're open to words such as "bang", "pow",
and "zap." (Soon to be out on DVD.)
Happy Friday,

Subject: [Videolib] Cool reference question...your assistance?
Hi all
An ex-Berkeley faculty friend has posed a very cool reference question...I
can use your help:
I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting
things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try
to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can
use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man
with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any
further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets,
dialogue, voiceover, etc.
I've come up with Bob Dylan's lyric cards for Subterranean Homesick Blues
in "Don't Look Back"; the "meta" credits from the movie Stranger Than
Fiction; Buster Keaton in Samuel Beckett's "Film"(1965); and--oddly
enough--two Steve Martin Films (LA Story's sentient freeway sign and C.D.
Bales' [i.e. Cyrano's] hilarious put-down speech: "Let's start with...
Obvious: 'scuse me, is that your nose or did a bus park on your face? ")
I think Adaptation might have some relevant stuff, but I can't quite
remember.
What do you say?
