Sounds cool. I spent a good deal of time doing an edit of the film last winter. Can't say I was completely happy with my version, so I look forward to checking this one out. Is this cut finished or are you still open to suggestions? Either way, I'll just post a few additional bits that I ended up cutting that I didn't see listed, but maybe you already got them.

I trimmed down Coolio's role a bit. Just a few moments of him looking stupid during his introduction. I then ended up cutting the scene that I believe plays before Elektra's dad's funeral with Foggy defending Jackson without Matt. It didn't really feel right in the context of the story. It's more of a slapstick scene in the middle of a very serious turn in the story. Also cut some of Foggy's antics when he and Matt are in the girl's apartment. I also removed Kingpin's line about being from the Bronx. Just silly. I think I played around with Bullseye's intro. I removed his plane scene (a fun scene, but is it necessary?) and shifted his airport one into its place by deleting the unnecessary "Midnight Cowboy" reference. I also cut things like the "Fight Club" reference, which also felt silly.

Anyway, it sounds like you did a good job. When I did mine I lacked skill, so I was never able to remove the voiceover or do convincing fades, etc.
