Helvetica

I watched the movie "Helvetica" tonight. Yes it is about a font. And, as you might guess, it is kinda a slow movie. Nonetheless, some things were interesting. In particular I liked the short and interspersed review of part of the history of graphic design. Despite its focus on "Helvetica" and type face in general, it had many ideas and implications for design in general. I recommend it as a rainy day movie for any interested graphic design.
