This one happened during the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.
It took me a while to recover, but here is my entry.

Really, my whole reason for blogging is to share images of what makes watching film so magical for me.
However, anytime I settle in to watch something I've been anticipating for whatever reason,
as soon as the familiar dot-dash sounds start under this image,
I feel an extra thrill because so many of my favorite experiences watching movies also began exactly the same way.

Interesting take here - I feel kind of similarly about the old Universal logos, up until that garish late 90s one, anyway...
Ah, what a wonderful choice.
Anticipation reaches fever pitch....it's about to begin.
Thanks, guys. I have a cap of the plexiglas Universal logo too, but the story behind this one is better. I'm sure it will appear sometime.
shahn,
I have been following your blog for a couple of years already, but this one hit me. The similar thing happened to me a few days back, while watching the "Miracle in Milan". The strange looking Italian logo brought me back the memory when I was a kid watching those European films. Anticipating the places I had never seen, the stories I had never known.
Will be waiting to see Universal logo story.
I think it's great to again stumble across something that you found to be profound when you were a kid. That's why I felt to happy that The Blob still held up well.
I'll have to dig around for the Universal story. If I find it, I will post it.
