> Hollywood in general is an alternate universe. I saw about five minutes of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed the other night, and saw the Monkees-style haircut on Dr. Frankenstein’s handsome young assistant, and the long flowing hair on the leading lady, and said to myself, “Late 60s!”. I checked the guide, and it was, indeed, 1969.  
> Womens’ hairstyles in the movies are almost always current to the year it was made (mens’, too, to a lesser extent). Not exclusive to the horror genre, either. Long flowing '60s locks are all over the spaghetti westerns of the period.

My wife Pepper Mill always says she can tell the year a movie was made by the hair style and clothes.

In a way, despite costume designers trying to get things to look accurate, we’re not all that different from Shakespeare’s time, when the actors in the plays put on at the Globe were always dressed as Elizabethan courtiers, even when playing ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, ancient Egyptians, or practically anyone else.

Of course.

Everyone’s so busy watching the adorable prop plane circle the Earth in the title sequences that they don’t read the curved letters surrounding it.

" An Alternate Universal Picture "

I want to see the Universal and the Sherwin Williams logos blended.  
“A Universal Picture – We Cover the Earth”  
Or maybe this opening logo
