I have discovered fanedits. In particular of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. For no reason that I remember I decided I should look at Prometheus again. (Possibly for the visuals since as I recall the last version I watched was a cam.) Anyway, being aware that Prometheus is bland jumble of angry people making puerile mistakes against awe-inspiring backdrops they could care less about, I wondered if there hadn't by now been released a Director's Cut that could tell the story better. But it seems The Ridley has refused the concept of director's cuts completely, saying that theatrical releases are by definition director's cuts anyway so bog off! Then lo, google searches for "Prometheus expanded extended directors" revealed a whole new world of fan-made revisions of the movie. People have incorporated deleted scenes, altered existing takes, attempted to cut out some of the dumber continuity crap that came with the original, and have, in a sense, created whole new movies from the source material. I had no idea people did this with movies.
So I watched Prometheus: Giftbearer, a respectable fanedit by Severian, and it's actually pretty cool. The edit does excellent things like: they start the story with Peter Weyland's TED talk rather than the Engineers supposed visit to Earth, which is a fantastic choice since it makes his third act reappearance so much less out of place. The story telling ability of the editor is a bit hit and miss, though. There are missed beats and sequences that include artless non sequitur jumps, some of which are very distracting, particularly during some action sequences. But overall I think it works. Was worth the download.
The other Prometheus fanedit that's supposed to be good is Agent 9's "Special Edition". Might watch that next.
