Suicide Club) over at Greencine Daily

A variation of the 20th Century Fox logo on a Los Angeles billboard appears at the beginning of Mel Brooks' triumphant experiment, Silent Movie, from 1976. There were some pretty far-out guesses (Aliens?) but most managed to work it out.
I wrote a primer of sorts this week on the films of Sion Sono (Love Exposure, Suicide Club) over at Greencine Daily. It was meant to be peppered with quotes, but my allotted interview time with him was cut severely short. Very frustrating. I also participated in an email exchange with Fin de Cinema's Joe Bowman about Love Exposure, which will appear on The Auteurs Notebook sometime this week. It's been a week of Sono on the brain-o. [Update: Click here to read the discussion.]
Well, here we are at the final quiz of this extended round. I had hoped to close it with something from an end credits sequence, but couldn't find anything interesting enough on short notice.
This week: Another bit of fun with an iconic studio logo. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!
