Honestly, no. I have three very specific projects I want to work on when I'm back up and running each with specific focuses. I'm confident there will be countless Dune edits coming out in the foreseeable future whereas the edits I want to complete will do things with sources that get less attention.

Triple Feature: 3 Fan-Edits

Reservoir Dogs (1992): The Bloodier Shot
Primarily an EE that adds back in some deleted scenes, this actually is highly effective at showing you why they were deleted. In particular, the way one is added back in cuts off the ending to my favorite scene in the film, meaning that -for me- this release is just a curiosity.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974): The 40th Anniversary Restoration
A relatively light edit that restores some scarred frames from the original release, this film is a cult classic rock opera that will not be for everyone. The edit is well done, and it's a movie with style to spare, though for me it lives in the shadow of better films like Rocky Horror and Hedwig & The Angry Inch.

The Ewoks (1984/85): A Star Wars Story
This edit either never made it on to IFDB or was removed, and it definitely does have some narrative roughness. It's an attempt to merge the two Ewok movies into one more-kid-friendly story, but I don't think it quite works (the ending in particular). I won't lie though: I did have a fun time revisiting these under-loved films, even though my favorite (the darkest) parts were cut out.

Triple Feature: 3 More Irish Films

Calvary (2014)
This one blew me away. A phenomenal, deep, funny, thrilling, profoundly human examination of what it would be like to truly be a good Catholic priest, and a good man.

Veronica Guerin (2003)
Well-directed, well-acted, but hamstrung by a messy script that makes the true story of this Irish crime reporter seem more self-centered than heroic.

InterMission (2003)
Ensemble film in a small Irish city with a small role for superstar Colin Farrell and a main role for pre-superstar Cillian Murphy. I wish it'd been the other way round, as these early Murphy performances don't capture what he'd eventually be capable of, and this is too huge of an ensemble plot anyway. Good fun all the same, a kind of darkly comic Love Actually.

EL DORADO -- Howard Hawks steals from himself in this remake of Rio Bravo. As with all Hawks movies, it is all about the dialogue, and this is another cracking good entry in his resume. While I think Rio Bravo is the better "hang out" movie, there is no denying this is a solid fun and entertaining western romp.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD -- Damn. No matter how many times I watch this movie, it's impact never lessens. Seeing the wonder, beauty and heartbreaking horror of the world through the eyes of children is incredibly powerful and emotional storytelling. A timeless, perfect, important movie.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

This movie gets my vote for the most underrated Star Trek film ever made. Fantastic performances from almost everyone (Christopher Plummer being a standout as the villain), and a very well aged message about change, uncertainty, and how we deal with our fears of the future. Still gives the original series crew the send-off that Star Trek: Generations failed to give them. Highly recommended.

THANK YOU. This one happens to be my favorite (3 is probably close behind).
When people say "the odd numbered movies are bad, the even ones are good", I feel like they usually just mean that 2 and 4 are good, ignoring 6 altogether. Of course I disagree with the whole odd/even seniment, I just mean to say that in the general conscience 6 gets overlooked. It's really so good though.

One of the recent movies I watched was NEFARIOUS 2023. It's a great thriller. I appreciate that there was nothing too gross or gory. It was not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting it to be like THE EXORCIST or something and it wasn.t There's a little point in the film where you think you know where it's going and then they throw you a nice curveball which I appreciated. Honestly I thought Sean Patrick Flanery gave one of the greatest performances I'd ever seen. He's an automatic top 10 villain of all time for me now.
