dude, you know Saul Bass is a graphical genius. Â I’ve told you many times
dude also made some wicked awesome movie shorts, which were SOOOO wicked awesome!!!!
and in his lifetime, he made ONE feature film – Phase IV.  it didn’t do so hot with critics & moneywise at the box office, so there was no film two, but that ONE film, which I saw last nite, is equal parts BLAMMMMMMMMAZING, creepy jeepeys, crazed, and MSTK worthy material
peep thiz Zardozesque trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and look at all this & that that is in this movie. Â IT’S INSANITY!!!
there are like Star Wars arcade game / Easter Island pillar things!!!
and blue gas smoke!!!
and yellow gas smoke!!!
and ants with brains that want to unite and take over earth or something!!!
and way too many ant close-ups that are WAY too close-up for comfort
and way too close to people’s eyes
  Â
and like shiny diamond things that shine on!!!
and gross $hit!!!
and like crazy 70s acid cinema stuff
like some super trippy funked assed sh!t!!!!!!!!!!
and some of dis!!!!!!!!
BLESS YOU SAUL BASS!!!!!!!!!
sorry the sun set on your filmmaking career after your ambitious, perhaps biting off more than it could chew one feature!!
–
and there was even an alternate ending to the movie, so ludicrously delicious, that no studio in their right mind would let it be the actual ending, and so, that there studio did NOT indeed let that be the ending, but lemme tell you, this ending is the greatest, mos mind-bendingiest ending of a movie (maybe possibly probably) EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
