Just finished this edit, and I must say, this is a damn fine bit of editing! Falling in a nice medium between Q2's incorporation of almost all the deleted footage and the theatrical cut, this edit is, in many ways, how the theatrical film SHOULD have been. Tonally, it's far more consistent than Q2's version, which can suffer at points from the jarring shifts created by the added footage. Excising only four of the deleted scenes, by my count, Sam Stanley puts back in what never should have been left out. While I love the scenes left out, such as Pete at the mill, the stuff with Harry and the police officers and the extended diner scenes, their exclusion lends a leaner edge to this edit that Q2's, for better and for worse, lacks. Visually, the editing is flawless, showing just how well the missing pieces fit back in as if they were never gone. One minor quibble with this edit is the inclusion of the Diane scene with Cooper, as it, while enjoyable, feels out of place with his appearance immediately afterwards. Cooper appearing jovial and being goofy fits with the character in the show, but creates a slightly jarring transition when the next scene has him be anxious, reserved and quietly terrified of his dream becoming a reality. I can't say for certain which Fire Walk With Me edit is my favorite of the two, as they both have their strong suits. I suppose my way of looking at it is this: If I want the fullest version available, one that adheres more closely with the show and offers some levity amidst the darkness, I'll stick with Q2's edit. If I want to see a more direct, unflinching and leaner version of the movie that runs shorter and keeps a darker tone throughout, I'll watch Sam Stanley's. Either way, I'm just excited to finally see more attention being brought to Twin Peaks in the fanedit community. I've always loved the show and eagerly awaited the Missing Pieces and an extended edition of Fire Walk With Me for years. Now, if only someone could take a whack at de-sillyifying Season Two, getting rid of James, Nadine the super-strong cheerleader, little Nicky, and Lana Budding Milford. Ah, well. To love something means to love it even when it has flaws. Maybe someday someone will make that mythical version of Season Two that, unlike these fine edits, trims the fat and gristle and leaves the tender meat at the heart of it all on display. but for now, I feel very, very comfortable giving Agent Sam Stanley the glad hand. Well done, sir. Damn fine job indeed. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future. You've got a great start under your belt, and I can only imagine where you'll go from here.
