A friend of mine tweeted recently...
'Oh, bad live captioning on Colbert Report. Spoken: "Unabomber." Captioned: "Youtubeer."'

Random movies and things that have nothing to do with one another. I guess you could say it's just a vision based on the song with no other theme, but where's the so-called talent he talked about in that? He even admitted it was "just random" - and yep, it sure as hell is. I lost interest pretty fast, and I think anyone who is used to seeing a video that's tightly edited would also, because other than sync, it's pretty dull. The youtube masses that are used to seeing videos like the majority of Youtube AMVs with no concept of sync at all and subtitles plastered all over the place would probably regard this more highly. Oh, my, that was a little elitist of me just now...

"A tribute to" is not really a theme so much as an excuse to toss a lot of stuff in the same place in no particular order, and maybe my artfag bias is showing but I don't really care for the last decade in mainstream cinema as it is. Herpderp.
But it does deserve a very high standing in Pro, no question on that.

And how elitist can you get? I love how he is like "That's why you edit at the level that you do!" I was like "FUUUUUCK is the Starcraft 2 boards all over again, but it's some intangible "level of editing" instead of what league you're in!"
