In one hand you have an edit from an acclaimed movie franchise and in the other, an edit from an acclaimed television show. The amount of time and technical skill that went into the both of these fan-edits is truely remarkable. Both of you understand your craft and it shows in the end product. Both of you should be proud no matter what!

Video
Alien-Ate: The video was very good, especially some of the color correction that was done and some of the effects that were blended in with the film. Still not quite sure on the cinematography of the film, but overall the video was fine. Good job.
8 out 10 stars
Northwest Passage: Sometimes the video fluctuated from great to just average, but of course it was the whole re-cropping of the show in the 16x9 format that more than makes up for any picture inconsistencies. Now the show has that cinematic look to it and it really looks like you are watching a movie of the tv show.

Audio
Alien-Ate: The audio too me was absolutely perfect. No hard cuts, no bad fades, etc. Just quality sound work that I have come to expect from TMBTM. Excellent!
10 out of 10 stars
Northwest Passage: The audio here is almost just as good. Just a couple audio pops, but other than that everything is clear and concise. Voices and dialogue can be heard without having to grab the remote and the music doesn't come in too strong or overpowering. Nice!

Editing
Alien-Ate: What can be said any further in this regard then just wow! TMBTM never ceases to amaze in this regard. From his subtle trims and cuts, to his magnificant special effects that make you feel that this was how the movie should have been. Outstanding!
10 out of 10 stars
Northwest Passage: To be able to take 2 seasons worth of episodes and construct a very well put together consistent narrative is truely remarkable. By just excising the subplots and minor characters that are lack of a better word just filler should be commended. Fantastic!

Entertainment
Alien-Ate: In the end this was a movie that is really hard to turn into a great movie. Everything about it seemed off. Like it didn't quite seem to fit along with the rest of the franchise. TMBTM came through with a valiant effort and for the most part he made it work for the better. Definitely not a better movie, but certainly more entertaining than the original.

Northwest Passage: This was an edit where I felt truely engrossed from start to finish. Maybe it is the weird fascinating characters that David Lynch created or the one singular plot thread that ran all through this fan-edit...Who killed Laura Palmer? Thunderclap took 2 seasons and made a real nail biter of a fan-edit. I guess it is reminding me of that new excellent show on AMC, The Killing. Very similar in approach...great visuals, great characters, and all wrapped up in a mystery surrounding the death of girl. Excellent work!

Two administrators....Two gifted fan-editors....Two excellent edits....Only one can win!
Oh boy, what to do? :?
I would hate to be the one that has to break this tie breaker because again both fan-edits are truely special to watch, but in the end I have come to a very tough decision.
The one that gets my vote for FEOTM and the one that kept me entertained until the very last frame is....
~Drum roll please~
