THanks for sharing!

I think you bring up the words CGI and AI a bit too casually. These things are not easy and they are not a magic bullet. I think the first thing you should do is investigate these technologies and use them and see the process that would be required to change footage or create new footage. If you want to say " I can't do this stuff so I'll just let someone else do it" that would be somewhat disrespectful as there is no recognition of what is involved in that and wouldn't be fully respectful of another person's labour. what can you do with your skills. that is how an editor should be thinking first and foremost. you need to know if something is feasible before you start making plans.

I'm planning to make a Supergirl edit, but I really want to change the ending, one so the turn of Ruthye from killing Krem does not feel so rushed, it felt so TV like, like OH let me have flashbacks, hear wise words and be like okay. But also I want to change it so Krem is not killed by Kara Could VFX be used and A.I to create a new ending, ,my idea is to use a shot of him being dragged, and then maybe just have him locked in a prison using CG / AI combo? Then add a post-credit where we go 80 years later and he's seeing the sunrise and is visited and reminded. Something akin to the comics ending. I know that might be hard considering well, he's a uhhh(spoiler hidden). in the film but I think the ending could've been better. If I kept Lobo which now reading what Jess said about there edit ideas, yea he is completely useless, just there for comic fans to go "yeah!" but that meant nothing cause it still bombed hard. I've got more trims and re-arranges, entire opening reconstruction. But how could the ending be fixed? I'm against AI over an actual job but it's an edit, so use your resources I say. It'd just be for 1 scene. I do have a friend who does CG and such so maybe they could help but I need to figure out if this could believably be done first/

I decided to try with search functionality today. I have done a search index for forum posts and replies and topic titles. this is currently working fine, or so it seems. This could be expended to other aspects of the site . The current ranking of the search is based on the frequency of the search term in each post and title. I think I need to include options for ranking.

The 2020s decade is half over, can you believe it? Yes a lot happened globally, but even in media there's been so many movies released, my own Letterboxd list of 2020s movies is over 200 long. https://letterboxd.com/prism_knight/list/2020s-decade/by/release-earliest/ (as always I warn cause LB can have adult content / reviews) tho I don't post those. But thinking back, there are SOO many films I absolutely love / loved, and think are pure bliss, whether originals, adaptations or originals! So let's count those down - I do ask if your film contains adult themes blur it (for my sake) if not a big deal. But whatever that said, lets highlight the best of cinema! My top 20 is: 20. Thunderbolts* 19. DC League Of Superpets 18. The Wild Robot 17. Fantastic Four (2025) 16. The Wild Robot 15. HTTYD (2025) - LA Remake 14. F1 13. Wicked For Good 12. Superman (2025) 11. Puss In Boots The Last Wish 10. Black Panther Wakanda Forever 9. The Flash (these 2 interchangeable) 8. The Fall Guy 7. Predator Badlands 6. Avatar Fire & Ash 5. Jesus Revolution 4. A Great Awakening 3. Spiderman Across The Spiderverse 2. Spiderman No Way Home 1. Wonka Why these films? Well below are brief analytical reviews that just briefly list why I love them. Thunderbolts & Jesus Revolution were so emotional for me, obviously for very different reasons, Thunderbolts* finale with the Void was one of the most emotional Marvel finales I've seen, not cause of cameos, which there were none, but because it was real. The void is the epitemy of "shame and guilt" and when he started punching him, and got hugged by his team, I cried in the theater, Because I felt like I was Bob, and that enemy he fought was my shame and guilt. Which leads into the latter, Jesus Revolution which just, idk. Spiritually moved me. Same for A Great Awakening - highly recommend Most of the others were just great fun, but some emotional highlights or pure cinematic and lovely bliss... well Black Panther Wakanda Forever - may not be perfect - it feels like it had notes... but I still felt Shuri's journey and that was the strongest part of the plot, and man Phase 4 with it's characters VS enemies fights, I mean yes Marvel, fights, but this is different, these characters lose everything and have to make a choice in combat. That said Spiderman No Way Home - my gosh... what a bliss of cinematic excellence, sure Act 1 kinda is rough... why would a sorcerer just let a kid do a brain-wash spell? BUT- the pay-off Act 2 and 3, the consequences, the handling, my gosh, it's absolutely amazing and that final fight actually is intense. Other major highlights are ofc Spiderverse & Puss In Boots The Last Wish and Project Hail Mary which might just be one of the best sci-fi films ever made. No questions asked?? Others are just spectacle, Predator Badlands, Avatar F&A, visually stunning, sick action, same with Fall Guy which my gosh is so funny. So many other great gems, I'd say honorable mentions? Tron Ares, Hungergames: Ballad Of Songbirds, & Aquaman 2, loved all 3.text

I think what films we like, tells us about where we want to be. I certainly love the nostalgia of 80s movies because it's my childhood, but where I really want to be is here and now, so I love current movies. I saw Mickey 17 in the cinema and Bugonia and Ponniyin Selvan, and I just like some of the notable films that will be remembered in the future and celebrated as the fine craft and art. Films represent progress and hope and ingenuity. Did you know that in the 80s, you have to phone up a special phone number to get accurate time and set your clocks manually? Well that, or we could listen out for the church bells.

I love movies, I've been trying to watch a lot more of them and a lot that I've not seen, but here's a fun question: What is your favorite decade of movies and why? Mine is the 1980s, I just love the feel of the films back then, so much wonder, imagination, fantasy, spectacle, science-fiction. Of many different kinds: I mean you had so many amazing films. You had titles like Superman 2-4, Indiana Jones (trilogy), Somewhere In Time, Fox & The Hound, Black Hole, Star Trek 2-5, E.T, Gandhi, Footloose, so many, so many, Karate Kid. I just loved the 80s and the feel of fun and whimsical and at times the grand storytelling of films like Karate Kid, films that truly feel like they could never be made today, not out of content but out of just, "is it possible"? to make films of that quality!?
