(Note. The following is criticism not of the faneditorâs person or character, but his work.)A/V Quality â 10/10. Very nice! Editing â 7/10. Overall the editing was decently done, but at times it felt obviously Frankensteined together. Some of the transitions were a bit clunky (and I will note them in the forum thread). I think it lacks a certain finesse and more time should have been spent fine-tuning. It came across, to me at least, that the editor said to himself, âThis is good enoughâ and was more eager to release it than to work on it. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but thatâs the impression I got as I watched it. And I have a strong annoyance at people (not just this editor and not just the people who visit this site) who are in too much of a rush to get to the finish line and cut corners hastily, turning out something that could have and should have been better.Narrative/Improvement â 9/10. In terms of the-(almost-)longest-version-you-could-watch, this was excellent. The pacing was great and the editor mostly chose well for what goes where. Iâm not a huge TP fanatic so I donât have a problem with the way the days of the week were laid out. Although I do think some of the forum comments are valid, and I especially think it could have been recut and shuffled around a little bit more, but I guess that wasnât the purpose of this, which is fine.The only major criticism of narrative is misplacing the âdiscovering Lauraâs bodyâ shot, which Q2 says heâs fixing in Version 2.â¦â¦.Iâll add my 2 cents about the scenes that didnât make the cut.Coop & Diane â Agree itâs not needed and throws the tone and rhythm off. If I were editing this and someone had a gun to my head, telling me to put it in or Iâm dead, I would have had it as an end credits teaser after 2 minutes of black screen. (But it could be utilized in Northwest Passage â The HD Redux.)$10,000 & Laxatives â These could have and should have been included. It would have required some editing, but itâs pretty simple to do. And theyâre good story/character scenes, so why not.Enjoyment â 8/10Hells to the yes this extended version was awesome. If it only were put together better.
