Pomposity

... No kidding. I watch a lot of films on DVD, and I must have seen the Universal logo 10,000 times (especially give that one is often blasted with it three times on one DVD). You know, the logo circling the planet. That one, like most movie studio logos, is just pompous it burns my hiney like a three-foot flame. Can these people get enough of themselves?

It is a lovely trend in the last few decades that this seems to be disappearing in lieu of inventiveness and fun.
