A director came into my office the other day wearing one of the fantastic
"film director name rendered in heavy metal script" T-shirts that can be found at CineFile Video in L.A. Our whole office was knocked out, and I made a point of stopping by the store when I was in L.A. to pick some up... but forgot. Fortunately, they're available by mail order, so I can order them and so can you.
Each t-shirt marries the name of particular director with the logo and font design of a specific heavy metal band. The new DePalma/Def Leopard design is pretty great, the Bela Tarr/Black Flag has its fans, the Ozzy/Ozu one is cool, although I'll be starting with the Fassbinder/Metallica.

These are actually made by Mondo Tees, the merch wing of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. You can also get some awesome Cannon and Death Records (from Phantom of the Paradise) shirts from them as well.
