AWESOME TOWN — Welcome to “Things That Are Awesome.” If you can’t figure out what this series is all about, well, then you’re not awesome.
We just find awesome movie stuffs and shove it in your face. But you love it and you know it.
This one is of the video edited by Jacob T. Swinney where he puts the opening and closing shots of 55 films side-by-side. The five-plus-minute video is pretty amazing and actually paints a better picture of some of our favorite films. The “Birdman” one really caught my eye.
