Nearly finished with this. I think its far superior to my first edit, as 1. it was the first edit i'd ever done, and 2. some of the new scenes from the dvd really help develop the characters a bit better. Jimmy and Hayes now have a short, nonsucky storyline that makes them likable and sympathetic. Bruce Baxter has a few more amusing moments. Denham gets to be a hero. all around i think i found a good balance. The film is now about 2hrs. 45. mins, still an epic length, but i feel the time is now spent more wisely. I'm very happy with how this has turned out and look forward to sharing it with you all.
