Last Jedi: The Anti-Cringe Cut is a must-have too.
Last Jedi: The Anti-Cringe Cut is a must-have too.
What’s This About?
Nothing too radical, it’s by large the same film you’re used to, with a few light trims and only a couple of major omissions
Original Title: Skyfall
Studios: Eon Productions, MGM, Columbia Pictures
Faneditor: Zarius
Originally Released: 2012
Original Running Time: 143
Fanedit Running Time: 121
Cut Time: 21 minutes
Cutlist
-Movie begins in media res on the battle aboard the train. Everthing preceeding that has been cut, we learn why things happen throughtout the film anyway.
-“Skyfall” by Adele cut, replaced by “The World” by Sela Sue. Skyfall titles slightly trimmed so the new song fits.
-Glimpses into life during Bond’s exile abroad is cut
-Bond’s talk with the psychologist cut after he calls M a “bitch”
-Bond and Q’s banter at the museum cut entirely. Q’s there on strict buisness, hands Bond what he needs, and leaves
-Battle at the Casino is cut
-Sex scene in the shower cut
-Train crash cut
-M’s death cut, scene in the church ends on a bit of Bond wit
-References to M’s will being read out by Moneypenny cut, it’s implied she simply retires as her job’s done.
Wow, this is nostalgic.
Alas, any existing version I had of this is lost to time, some of the ideas made it into a different edit by Fathermerrin on FE.Org (The Definitive Smallville Cut) so see if you can have some luck with that.

I wonder what the dedication will read during the credits of Episode IX? Sad to think that’s now two movies in a row that’ll carry dedications to absent friends
I put together a “Name of the Doctor” edit, rearranging a couple of scenes (like replacing the second montage of Clara in the Doctor’s timestream with the first from the pre-credits) and making use of Oliver Comet’s “9th Doctor cameo” edit on Youtube.
These dubs are great, keep them coming.

Somebody over at fanedit.org is doing a widescreen edit of Genesis of the Daleks
Downtime too
Whoflix already did something along those lines.
I’ve been editing “alternative parts” of random serials…came up with a happy ending for Ressurection of the Daleks, minimising Lytton’s survival and keeping Tegan on board the TARDIS, also left the Brigadeer dead in Battlefield.
I got some good feedback for this on reddit, so I’m looking to release it in February.
Was thinking of using Capaldi regeneration footage, but the different cameras made it incompatible with series eleven
Other possibilities I’ve tried out (can’t upload samples for now because of Vimeo storage limit)
-Open the movie with Zemo reading from the winter soldier codebook in the hotel, just to explain what Bucky means by the
“saying the god damn words” later when Steve captures him.
-Have Zemo give Ross access to super soldier serums he finds in the compound
I’m now reminded of that amusing easter eggo claymation short from the Earthshock DVD
Apparently Big Finish did reveal Adric survived in one of thier audios, but he wasn’t played by Matthew Waterhouse and had mutated significantly.
I wonder if it’s possible to save Adric in Earthshock?
That’s another good idea…then, when the Doctor is walking up the steps out-of-shot, reveal that it’s Capaldi when Clara turns around.
I did the belltower regeneration in an edit I did of “Time” years ago, but the hologram thing is’nt something I’d considered, sounds tricky, but with the right effects can be pulled off.
I put together a couple of test edits for this.
Potential Ending: Version One
Potential Ending: Version Two
Potential Opening: Version One

Whoflix’s edits aren’t perfect (the quality of them is very ropey, either low-res or full of ghosting, and don’t pass our usual standards) and yeah, some of his articles are ill-advised rants about the show’s “pc agenda”.
Yeah, I was talking about blending the series 8 footage with Danny, sorry I didn’t make that too clear there.
I’d love to find a way of keeping Victorian Clara alive, perhaps “Crimson Horror” can be edited into a sequel story to The Snowmen and remove all mention of Clara having died in that period?
Edit is now up on IFDB and available via PM.
My issue is not that it breaks established continuity, but that you don’t provide the appropriate alternate continuity to follow-up this change.
I’m not sure why this is a problem. Whoflix’s edits (which are my inspiration for my own edits) break continuity sometimes.
I’d tried to find ways of keeping Clara alive in a Snowmen edit I wound up making for Fanedit.org, but I found it complicated. I think Clara staying with Danny can be doable by merging the finale with “Listen”
Are you gonna do anything about that sad excuse for an opening?
Why would you want Grace to live? There’s no reason for it, and it would mess up the other episodes.
I don’t give a crap about it fitting with the other episodes, I do this stuff for fun, not to pander to what other people want for “go to” versions.
…wow.
Just a pet peeve of mine…for some reason people in the fanedit community get very precious about their continuity being tarnished…I got the same reactions when I put together a Civil War edit which used Homecoming footage, I got people saying “this breaks the timeline, this makes no sense”…whatever happened to creativity? Risk? Experimentation?
I’ll do whatever I like with my edits. If people are curious, they can view them, but they are not meant to replace anything. They’re just for fun.
I was mulling over this just a couple of minutes ago, I thought I’d give it it’s own thread.
Do you think it’s at all creatively plausible to combine scenes from Civil War and Ed Norton’s Incredible Hulk?
Granted, this would play havoc with established MCU continuity, and some might not take to that, but as an experimental edit it could well be doable.
The idea would be to only use about 15% or 20% of Civil War footage, with the rest of the movie being incredible Hulk. The motivations are that the army are trying to recruit Banner for Tony’s team to go after Steve Rogers and his own team per Black Widow’s suggestion (when Tony suggests if there’s “any shot” of getting him on the team to her), and we follow Banner’s adventures. In this alternate universe, Banner never left Earth and reconnects with old flame Betty Ross.
I’d still devote some time to Tony and Cap’s struggle just so there’s a complete story, and Spidey could still wind up being Banner’s substitute on the team.
The post-credit scene of the Incredible Hulk between Tony and General Ross can be repurposed for earlier in the movie, possibly at the very beginning if need be.
I’d try to at least end the film with Bruce and Betty together and on the run. The final scene could be the “not even a little excited?” love making scene at the end.
