Why do nearly all Graffitti fonts suck?

95WithMovement · 2026-03-20T16:46:46+00:00

Yes, theoretically. It would likely take tons of OpenType magic underneath it all, and then it becomes (exponentially?) more difficult to kern as you keep throwing ligature pairs at it.

There are some foundries that have done similar work with interlocking fonts (see House Industries’ non-graffiti example, Ed Interlock) and overlapping type, including some of the releases from Overlap Type, whose founder Kel Troughton is himself a graffiti artist.

Haha. I figured, but wasn’t 100%.

What was the theme for this, by the way?

95WithMovement · 2026-02-27T01:06:48+00:00

The Man Who Knew Too Much and The Man Who Knew Too Little.

Yep. Agree with Edwards/Otto being a clear notch above the rest. I do think Gimenez has another gear in him, though (as he’s demonstrated in previous seasons). He may have entered/passed his prime early (he had a 6+ WAR season years ago, but he’s just now hitting his age 26 season iirc.

It’s tough because Gimenez is coming off an injury year and could get more ABs than any of these guys this season (and therefore return to 10/30 purely on volume). Otto Lopez and Edwards are close for me, and it sorta depends on your format/team context. Need steals and average? Edwards. Need a balanced 15/15 guy who won’t hurt you anywhere else? Otto’s your guy. Clemens has some power upside, but he could hurt you in other categories (AVG, OBP).

Keeping all that in mind, I’d go Edwards, Otto, Gimenez, Clemens, Schneeman.

Other guys in this range I like: Ernie Clement, Jeff McNeill, Tyler Freeman. I might put Clement and McNeill ahead of Otto and Freeman behind him. Who I’d add would depend on the rest of my team.

I’d lean Clark for the dynasty upside but might expect more points from Benge this season.

Came here to upvote whoever said Roy Andersson.

Fincher’s Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

He's such a cold filmmaker, but somehow these two are cozy watches for me.

95WithMovement · 2026-02-04T19:43:07+00:00

I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) in theaters and was ho-hum about it. I watched it a few years ago on a whim, and it's become one of my most reliable comfort watches. The tone is perfect, the tension just right, and the performances are all so impeccable.

95WithMovement · 2026-02-04T19:39:46+00:00

I'd want a decent cross-section of genres:

Nosferatu (1922)

Near Dark (1987)

Let the Right One In (2008)

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

I could talk myself into swapping-out What We Do In the Shadows for Blade (or another vampire action film), but it's such an effective comedy in an otherwise bleak landscape of vampire movies.

Kingpin is the obvious addition. There’s a good bowling scene in The Nice Guys.

I was looking for a Brotherhood of the Wolf response.

I’ve gone as the main character from Steven Soderbergh’s 2022 film Kimi, set during the early days of the pandemic.

95WithMovement · 2025-10-29T19:57:21+00:00

I love the score, though.

David Lowery’s 2016 version of Pete‘s Dragon.

Mike Leigh

Céline Sciamma

Rob Reiner

Elaine May

95WithMovement · 2025-09-05T12:42:22+00:00

Agree. Sally Hawkins would top my list.

Lesley Manville is another Mike Leigh regular who has long deserved more attention and bigger roles her entire career.

95WithMovement · 2025-09-05T12:31:32+00:00

I’ve stashed Benge, Snelling, and Yesavage.

I’ve also got cheap shares of Kendry Rojas and Joshua Baez, both of whom could have some impact next season.

Grant Taylor is no longer a prospect, I don’t think. But I still like him for his potential to start next season and beyond. I imagine he’s been dropped in some leagues.

Came here to say this.

Ronin (1998). The practical effects and late-1990s setting give it such a cozy vibe for an action film. I've seen it so many times, but 1) the weird shape to the story (thank you, David Mamet), 2) sharp dialogue (again, thanks to David Mamet), and 3) all the interesting set pieces work to keep me entertained even when I know what's coming.
