The Editing Room

Established in 1998, The Editing Room, or TER for short, is a website maintained by Rod Hilton at www.the-editing-room.com. Features original abridged scripts for a great and ever-expanding number of Hollywood blockbusters and crapfests. Hilton's scripts not only delight with their biting wit and merciless satire; they also provide the reader with the ability to discuss the latest Hollywood garbage without having to actually see the films being discussed. TER is occasionally featured in Total Film Magazine and Cracked.com.
Guy: "Man, I can't believe how terrible The Happening was. M. Knight Shyamalan has really nuked the fridge."
Gal: "I didn't know you even saw that movie."
Guy: "I didn't have to! I just read the abridged script at The Editing Room."

Oort Editing

Much like the Oort Cloud, Oort Editing is when you take scraps of video or film from a shoot and edit it together. Most commonly used on wedding videos to show the bride and groom what happened while they were getting ready and/or shit was hitting the fan. It is very much free form editing and has been made easier by the advent of nonlinear editors

the power of editing

The amount of decaseconds (to the nearest tenth) it takes to edit three clip of sans saying get dunked on, divided by 3, to the power of how many videos were created within a five mile radius of your location. The result of this expression is rounded to the nearest whole number, and the result is known as the Power of Editing and can be used to: make any AI say whatever you please, dunk on other people, or countless other things. The Power of Editing varies from person to person, and the lower the value, the stronger your Power of Editing is. The stronger one's Power of Editing is, the more they can do with the power.
