Some are really good.But anyway, here’s a really funny one, that’s also informative and a bit weird (well, they all are, at least for someone that doesn’t know his slab from his adnate): “I got this neat idea for a movie. You know Paul Renner, right? Duh, he designed Futura. Classic, but clunky, not as nice as Avenir. Right on! Imagine what Paul would do if he laid eyes on Avenir. Impossible.
He died 32 years before it was designed. Not in my movie. Let’s say he’s found this time machine…and he uses it to to spy on Frutiger’s drafts for Avenir, and he comes back in time, uses the knowledge gained, and revises his own Futura! That’s crazy, yo. What would the movie be called? Back to the Futura. Fucking brilliant.”
