Well, a parody is something completely, absolutely different from a fan edit.
I sort of corned myself into an anti-fanedits position, I'm not against fanedits, not by a long shot. I'm just trying to explain why I don't think it's good to use a fanedit to introduce someone to a film in most cases.
Yeah, the parody part was straying off-course a bit.
Most fanedits are terrible ways of introducing a film. Take, for example, the fanedit of Heat made by some bozo who thinks the film would work better without all that pesky character depth. Most fanedits are junk, period. But all can be instructive in how the craft of editing can make or break a film.
