Some time ago, thuviaptarth recommended a documentary about film editing (The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing) in a post about background knowledge for vidding. I finally got around to watching it this week and found it tremendously helpful for putting words to what I'm intuitively thinking when I vid, as well as for pointing out certain other ( Read more... )

There's something about this film, and about Linda and Peter, that I really like. I think it's that the movie feels like something that could've really been amazing if only there hadn't been so many missed opportunities. At any rate, that's what has compelled me to write another gap-filler for it.
