Hey i know everyone is talking about editing X3, and i think i want to give it a shot. The deleted scenes on the DVD are pretty cool. What ideas does anyone have about an edit like this? I’d like to add the longer fight scenes, Xavier’s voice over for the credits, and some other scenes. There’s also some stuff i really wanted to see that maybe an animation wiz could do something about. I think it’d be cool to actually see the Sentinel or see the Pheonix outline around Jean. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, i had a couple of days off with nothing to do, so i played around with Daredevil. This is an edit i’ve wanted to do for a while, as Daredevil is one of my favorite Marvel characters. I always found the movie to almost be really good, with a few little things detracting from it. i tried to fix as many of these things that bothered me as i could. I used the director’s cut as the basis.

Here’s the rundown:

• Shorter running time (1 hr. 56 min.)
• The opening scene of DD in the church is removed. The film begins with Matt in the court room with Quesada.
• Origin story is spread out throughout the film and is much, much shorter.
• The Matt/Elektra playground fight is a lot shorter and a lot less ridiculous.
• The Kingpin’s hip-hop introduction is cut.
• That horrible CGI shot of DD kicking Bullseye is a lot shorter.
• That horrid Evanescence song is removed from the Elektra training scene. It is now replaced with “Session” by Linkin Park, which fits the sequence very well. Before everyone moans about Linkin Park, this song is instrumental.
• Most of Matt’s voice overs are removed, except for the stuff towards the end.
• This is kind of trivial, but it always bothered me: When Ben Urich hits delete on his keyboard to erase his story, he taps it once and erases the whole story, rather than holding it down. I have now changed it so it looks like he holds the button down. It’s stupid, but it always annoyed me.
• A few little cuts and trims and re-ordering of shots, to keep the pace and make everything work.

This is a simple edit, but i think it helps the film quite a lot. It’s now more along the lines of a “Batman Begins” type of Superhero movie, now that i’ve removed a lot of the more “Batman & Robin”-esque moments. Should be up on Demonoid within the next few days. I hope you enjoy it.

Again, I’m stil trying to get Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Matrix Reloaded Extended to work, but i just keep hitting tons of problems. These projects do not want themselves to happen!
