Amen, muddyknees! I actually feel like very few fan-edits are about "changing the films so they are different." Most fan-edits I've watched, and the ones I like the most, are the ones that are intended to improve a film by cutting, restructuring, or restoring, not by making different. Add to that that these edits are executed by editors with a very clear vision that is consistent in both the wide scope of the entire piece and in the details that make it up. The best fan-editors are able to do what professional editors do: get in the heads of the actual filmmakers and maintain what is true in the spirit and letter of the work. It's not a question of "what would be awesome?", it's a question of "what would be correct?"

That's not to say that radical revisions can't be interesting, but that's not the vision adywan has for Revisited, and the best suggestions tend to be the ones that fit that vision.
