Hahaha.

Yes, lots of butt hurt.

Awesome job. This is the best tv-to-movie adaptation I have seen on this site thus far. What I especially like about it is that it actually is a movie with a clear beginning, middle, & end that can be watched in one sitting, as opposed to most adaptations that are more like a mini-series or condensed version of a season with no clear beginning and/or ending.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

I don't know why it took me so long to watch this edit. It's magnificent, and hope it enjoys a new life now that it's up for the FEOTY awards. It's not an easy watch, though, but if you're familiar with the source material you already know that...

Thanks Dwight!

Dwight and gem, did you watch all the way through the end credits? There's a little easter egg (if you can call it that) at the end.

This has probably already been posted somewhere in this thread, but couldn't resist after having watched this great edit of yours!



Haha. I'd never seen that before.

Have you seen this?:

Holy necropost Batman! So I'm going to be making a version 2.0 of this edit pretty soon. One of the changes is to fix my Gatos logo (the one I originally used was horribly amateurish and sloppy.TMBTM was kind enough to make this HBO style logo for me (I provided the title card and he did the animation/video effects in After Effects). More info to follow.

Here's the logo:

Well done! Flawlessly executed fan edit. Beecher will always be dear to my heart, so this means so much to me that you made it, Gatos.

rebue posted on Incarcerated Fanedit Detention Base:

In an ideal world, I would have enough time to run a smuggling empire from my prison cell, watch every TV show that interests me, and still get seven hours of sleep every night, but the crushing truth is that I don't have an evil henchman/vice president to assist in these endeavors. Oz is one of those shows that sounds damned good, but watching all of it is daunting as fuck. That's why Gatos's TV-to-movie edit feels as liberating as an early release from hard time. It condenses the story of Tobias Beecher into a tight arc, and evaluating the edit on its own terms, without comparing it to the first season from which it was assembled, I find the narrative coherent and gripping, hellish and darkly comic. The supporting characters—Schillinger, Augustus Hill, Ryan, Sister Reimondo—serve in this edit to flesh out Beecher's story as he grows survival balls.

Nowhere in this edit does Gatos stray from Beecher's tale. Solid construction, as if it were a stand-alone piece released by HBO itself. As a bonus, you also get the unique HBOish intro with the Gatos moniker, a stamp of quality and an indicator of the shady-good entertainment to come. Now excuse me as I return to scraping away the concrete behind my bed.

Enjoyjoy: 10 out of 10 ankle grabs.

Thanks for the review ssj and I'm glad you enjoyed the edit!

Unfortunately most people who've watched this edit were treated to my horrid, amateurish attempt at the HBO logo. You got to see the better one that [MENTION=6566]TMBTM[/MENTION] made for me.

Did you happen to watch past the end credits?
