For my inaugural fan-edit, I'm going with a pretty simple one and attempting to recreate the decade-old "Psycho: The Roger Ebert Cut" by Stomachworm, which I've attempted to locate with no luck. The original edit was, of course, based on Roger Ebert's notion that the "psychiatric blather" at the denouement of the film slowed down the proceedings and patronized the audience. While this late-in-the-game exposition might have mollified the audiences (and censors) in 1960, it's painful to sit through as a modern viewer.
On reading the reviews for Stomachworm's edition, it sounds as if they used some kind of awkward transition to skip over the psychiatrist's blather and a title card to get to the scene with Norman/Mother in the squad room. Instead, I've opted to snip from the survivors' reactions right to the psychiatrist as he lights up a cigarette and the door opens, hopefully making it a seamless transition.
After this edit, I've got a likewise minor-but-impactful edit of Vertigo I'm eager to share as well. Looking forward to submitting this one in the meantime and seeing what the IFDB academy thinks of it!
