The late film executive Bingham Ray, God bless him, once (over lunch at Orso, in 2009) pointed out something so obvious I had completely missed it. The wiliest movie marketers, explained Ray, try to own a color scheme.
Juno, for instance, had orange stripes with distinctive green highlights. Little Miss Sunshine was bright yellow. The first Austin Powers chose a velvety wine red against gold, surprisingly subtle for an outrageous comedy. The colors lit your fuse. The rest was up to the picture.
Who knew that by a dozen years later, our entire post-literate, increasingly tribal, identity-obsessed culture would be similarly color-coded? A branding device that had once been consigned to sports teams, street gangs (cf. Colors) and the St. Patrick’s Day parade became our dominant means of nonverbal communication.
Blue or red wasn’t just for Crips or Bloods any more. Whole states became red for Republican, blue for Democrat or grapey purple for an unhappy swing condition in between.

The rainbow for Pride, and the modified black-white-brown-pastel-plus rainbow for super-inclusive Pride.

Todd Gilchrist editor “Strays” follows in the hallowed tradition of stories of animals separated from their loved ones — from “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” to “Finding Nemo” — with a few new twists, and a lot of four-letter words. Even more than offering an uncensored window into the perspective of humankind’s four-legged pals, director Josh Greenbaum and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller wanted to examine how a closer look at dogs could shed light on some truths about the people who love (and in the case of the movie, loathe) them.

strike-delayed 75th Emmy Awards have a new date — one that places them squarely within Hollywood’s awards season, for a change.Fox announced Thursday that the Emmys will air on January 15 from the Peacock Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. The show will air on the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday.The timing means that the Emmys, which honor the best shows on television, will air weeks before the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which honors film and television actors.Numerous other shows like the Golden Globe Awards, which haven’t been confirmed for a return to network television, and the Critics Choice Awards, also are held in January.The ceremony will happen roughly four months later than originally planned.While the move is a bit of a throwback — the first Emmys, where only six awards were handed out, were held in January 1949 — the show traditionally airs in September, a slot that once heralded the upcoming fall television season.
