Youâre watching a movie in the theater and you're already deciding how youâ're going to re-organize the footage when you get the home video.
You start buying movies that you hate, just for the opportunity to edit them.
The notion of watching a movie the way it was released kind of bores you.
Even movies you like become fodder for mash-ups.
The first question you have about any movie is, "What deleted scenes are there for me to work with?"
You giggle at serious scenes in movies because you're thinking of a fan edit that parodied that scene.
You wonder how much it would cost to buy an extra hard drive for your computer just so you can have more room to store fan edits.
When someone asks you to list your favorite Star Wars movies in order, you feel obliged to include all the fan edits you've seen on the list.
The unedited prequels are not on the aforementioned list at all.
You talk about having cut 40 minutes out of a movie with pride the way other guys discuss fixing up their cars over the weekend.
If you ever met a woman IRL who loved to talk about the pros and cons of various prequel edits, youâd probably propose to her on the spot.
You wish you could bring your computer to work or school so that you can work on your edit during breaks.
You're constantly scouring movies you own for audio of an actor saying a certain line, so you can dub that line into another movie with the same actor.
Sometimes when you see something, you'll think of suggesting it to someone else -- not for the entertainment value of the product itself, but because there's audio or video that they could use for one of their editing projects.
You spend time making a Jeff Foxworthy list about fan editors.
(Does anyone else have any additions to this list they'd like to make?)
