The Film Festival Doctor

Good grief what a manic few days it has been here in Film Doctor world. Goodness knows how I managed to slip some PhD work in today during an otherwise manic day (had loads to sort out re Abertoir & film production shoot).

One thing which happened this week that actually made me stop what I was doing for 15 minutes (and just not do anything) was when I heard the tragic news about Sally Menke, Tarantino's long-term editor. That woman is by far the most amazing editor in the world. The editing in Pulp Fiction & Inglorious Basterds is flawless. She will be missed (especially by me) but by many other film industry folks too.

Obviously QT is going to miss her big time, he always said that she co-directed his films. I do wonder what he will do next, who will replace her? Urgh replace is such an awful word to use as she is irreplaceable, but I have a feeling that his films will never be the same again without her... time will tell.

If I can find time then I shall watch Pulp Fiction over the weekend and celebrate the best work of Sally :) RIP.
