Not to single you out, but I would like to comment on this in general.

I answer my PMs in chunks, and I ask that everyone respect that I don't reply immediately. Sometimes it takes me up to two weeks to get caught up, so please be patient.

Double or triple requests do nothing to alleviate my PM burden, nor does the "read receipt" option, so please refrain from using it.

PMs sent by anonymous "guest" users cannot be replied to, so if you need to contact me, please sign up for the forum first.

And it bears repeating that all requests for covers should be directed at me personally. I explicitly ask that no-one redistributes the covers I send them, even with the best of intentions.

That being said, I have spent the last two hours of this beautiful morning answering PMs, so everyone should be happy.

Not sure if anyone remembers, lol but Nissen is working on a Retro Disney VHS collection for all 53 animated classics. This set should be done sometime in the summer/late fall depending on my ability to pay Nissen and his ability to waste time doing them Any who here is a preview of Alice In Wonderland which uses the same front image as the original early 80's VHS release

Anyone have a template for the 5-Disc 15mm spine Viva Elite case? Maybe even logos of 20th Century FOX and more. Anyone have free links for what I'm inquiring about? PM would be most helpful.

You can get logos easily from google image search. You may have to work on them a little to fit your needs but that's where I get my logos from.

At Customaniacs.org, you can buy 100 credits for $6.00. They even take PayPal. Their resource section has just about anything you need to get started making great looking covers. You are limited only by your own skill with graphics software and your creativity.

Most of the resource elements you can download, such as logos, templates, and poster art are a single credit, or at most 2 credits. That's pretty damn close to free.

I've posted this before, but I keep getting PMs about it, so I thought I would post it again.

In regards to my blog and accessing my Disney covers:
The blog is not currently updated. I will post here as soon as they are available, but for the time being, they are not. I have every intention of making the entire collection available soon, but there is some minor work I need to do before I make them public. Please be patient and I promise to update everyone as soon as they become available for download.

Thanks for the messages, I hope this answers your questions.

Fun fact. That scene in Zodiac is shot at the actual location of the murder.

Fincher had the real Inspector David Toschi (played by Ruffalo in the film) point out the crime scene locations. When they arrived, Fincher got into a disagreement with Toschi about the location and moved to another area nearby because of how the landscape would block the screams (per the police report). Toschi was stunned because Fincher was right.

Someone asked so I decided to work on it.

As soon as the back cover is posted, I'll finish it.

I just did a spit take
Why can't all covers be color pages ?
Too cool

[Show spoiler]

You should make that as a "fake" criterion also

Even though that's not my style personally, from a critical standpoint, I have to say that may be one of the most creative, and appropriate, covers I've seen. Kudos.

It's not my style either!

For those of you who may not know, this cover is actually from Criterion. They posted it for their 2012 April Fools Day joke. The extras consisted of the following:

CONTINUITY-ASSISTANT-APPROVED THREE-DISC SPECIAL EDITION:

– New high-definition digital restoration of the 1990 director’s cut, presented in 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray edition
– New audio commentary featuring Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, author of It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Can Teach Us
– Excerpts from the French television program Cinéastes de notre temps: “Ivan Reitman”
– Kindergarten Cops Today, a new hour-long documentary featuring former New York City police detectives Frank Serpico and Robert Leuci, former San Francisco police inspector Dave Toschi, and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg
– From “Fingers” to Finger-Painting, an interview with cinematographer Michael Chapman
– Archival video of Schwarzenegger’s acceptance speeches for the Favorite Movie Actor award at the 1989 and 1991 Kids’ Choice Awards
– The Kids Aren’t All Right, an analysis of all the cuts made to ensure a PG-13 rating
– More than six hundred minutes of rare behind-the-scenes and archival footage
– Seven theatrical trailers
– PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by former police reporter and creator of The Wire David Simon and a reprint of James Agee’s original review of the film

That has to be one of the most creative covers I've seen.
