If there's one thing I've learned about Bizzle over the past 3-4 years, it's that he never pulls any punches and he rarely sugar coats anything. That combined with a keen eye and ear makes a great judge for a contest like this. I personally don't see anything wrong with any of his comments on the edits. He's honest and he gives his opinion like a judge is supposed to do. If you don't like what he has to say, get in line because you're definitely not the first. I think all too often in the fan editing world we're prone to giving people kudos for doing something while we ignore it's quality or it's impact on the film. People like Bizz remind us that not everything deserves a pat on the back and there's plenty of room for improvement.

Dayv has asked me to be a judge in next year's contest. I was almost afraid to say yes because of the negative opinions I have on some of the fan edits I've seen. But the only way to raise the bar is to point out our flaws and strive to make things better. Critisism is just as important (if not more important) than praise.
