Man. This takes me back. The guitar riff still slaps to this very day.

The artist who designed this is a certified genuis, and I'll tell you why.

I'm a network engineer, programmer and technology enthusiast who dabbles in audio-visual, radio and pretty much anything that uses electricity. While this was my favorite intro bumper of the 90s, the knowledge I've gained lets me appreciate it even more.

The beginning of the intro shows pulses of light passing through film toward a screen. This is, before the advent of digital projection, the way movies were displayed at theaters around the world. The beams of light are then transmitted to the RGB electron guns of a CRT television, which blast the phospher, line by line, dot by dot, in order to display the image - the HBO Movie title - in all its glory on your TV screen.

Of course, they skipped the step of converting the light from the film into electrical impulses, which would then be transmitted by satellite to your local cable operator, before being encoded and sent into your home, but for a 21 second intro, that step wouldn't be feasible. 😂 Either way, it's truly brilliant.

I've seen this in the start of Mannequin, Charlotte's Web, Mr. Mom, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom, The Goonies, and Back to the Future.
