I remember HBO used to have a new movie on at something like 6:00PM every Friday. But I didn’t know what the movie would be ahead of time. So I would start the VCR recording as soon as I saw that screen at 6:00, then would wait patiently to see what the movie was that I was recording, hoping it was gonna be something good

It did and it was magical!
I remember thinking about how amazing the animators were that made the HBO logo spinning into frame toward the end. Turns out, they actually build a big chrome logo and shot it with practical photography.

The method of creating the lights inside the O knocked me out. I miss the ingenuity behind practical effects.
