Ever notice the eerie similarities between these two?

No?

Well, I did!  And I’ve got pictures to prove it!

(in case you were wondering how my brain works, here’s a little snapshot)

 BEHOLD:

No, not THAT one!

THIS one!

I don’t think I can communicate how much I LOVE this show!

If you haven’t seen it yet, IMMEDIATELY log in to Netflix

and watch them all!

Here’s a pretty rad trailer for the show.

And, yes, the entire show is just like this, only better!

Click me!!

 

Not your Grandfather’s editing system!

Oh, wait. . .

Here’s a super-rad demo video.

There’s no music or talking, so you can REALLY enjoy it!

YES – this IS how people used to edit video.

Try to stop complaining about your Mac for five minutes.

(Here, learn something)

You had me at “20-minute reels.”

. . .Duwayne Dunham!!

We have a winner, folks!

Not ONLY did he edit Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet, but also one of my SUPER-DUPER-all-time-faves:

 (Yes, this is the actual trailer.  No, I don’t get it either)

 Later, just to confirm his place in the Awesome Hall of Fame, he edited the Twin Peaks pilot (won an Emmy), and then went on to DIRECT three episodes of Twin Peaks.

But what puts him in a category all by himself is something he did as the Assistant Film Editor on the Empire Strikes Back.

Here he is as BOBA-frickin-FETT in the original costume screen-test from 1978!!

You can TRY to be cooler than this, but you can’t.  It’s impossible.

I suggest you just find a way to get over it and move on with your life.

See?!?

There, there. . .

Yes, I know it’s only August!

You know what?  just forget I Said anything.

Very informative interview with Thelma Schoonmaker about editing for/with Martin Scorsese.

Yeah, I’ve got three of these…

Here she is discussing the process:

And here’s one of my favorite bands of all-time, King Missile, with their dissertation on the works of Martin Scorsese:

(Really?  No website King Missile?  Whatever, man.)

Juxtaposition?

Is that what you would call it?

I find your lack of faith disturbing…

Whatever you want to call it, I call this GENIUS!

It’s an oldie, but goodie.  CLASSIC even.

(When Public Enemy comes on the radio, I just LOSE IT!!)

This guy!

“My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.”

Can he churn out the best-supporting-actress Oscars, or what?

Here he is talking about editing, and, yes

it’s funny, because it’s true.

Let’s ask an expert!

He truly is Shaolin.

Walter Murch, he’s kind of a big deal.

(see?)

Here’s the master talking about editors and editing

(listen up!)

Those pesky Russians!

Как поживаешь?

Watch this SUPER interesting video

from Evan Richards about V.I. Pudovkin’s theories on editing.
