Mike-- you might also want to contemplate keeping the new "A Long Time Ago.." as it matches up to every other "A Long Time Ago" in the series.

Got your site bookmarked, even if it's not up yet


It's coming...

The FOX logo thing I'm still uncertain on... though I don't really feel it's a part of the film itself. That may be my anti-studio bias. (You get that after working with the studios for any length of time).

However, the "A long time ago..." that appears in the PT is just wrong. It's wrong, so I redid it. They used this new one at the top of the DVD trilogy, and I'm not cool with that. It's as iconic as anything else in the movie, and that's why I took the time to re-do it properly. I know Dan Perri carefully considered every last aspect of that title card - the setup, the letter forms and the color - he said so - and I want to honor that.

The temporary pages got more hits in the last 2 days than I expected, so I decided to bring the hosting inside and set up a server locally - it'll take a couple more days, but in the meantime, here's page 3:
