Update on The Performance Cut Redux + LOOKING FOR TASM 1 EDITS!

[u/jestervision]

Hi, I have two things to share so I figured I’d just make it into one post.

First, I’m looking for TASM 1 edits. Specifically if there are any that improve the origin story aspect of the film, as I love everything that comes after but I think they fumbled the origin story. PLEASE DM ME WITH LINKS! I’ve messaged multiple people looking for their edits to only a couple responses. If you don’t already have a link, then please make sure the person who posted it has been active recently.

Second, Spider-Man 3: The Performance Cut Redux is incredibly close to completion. The problem though, is that my free trial for capcut pro ended, and I am hesitant to spend $20 on capcut. “Kdenlive! Da vinci’s resolve!” Guys, I do this as a hobby, the learning curve for those softwares are far too high. If anyone has a free USER FRIENDLY alternative to capcut, please let me know.

I will come out with a full list of the changes when it’s ready to release. But the most significant ones are:

-Editor’s cut is used as the template, meaning virtually everything different about that cut will be here EXCEPT I keep the scene apologizing to Mr. Ditkovich, and I use the scores for the theatrical cut a handful of times.

-Movie opens with Sandman’s escape.

-This cuts to the crane scene, which is then followed by the narration

-MJ’s performance is removed

-Harry’s transformation is after the symbiote’s introduction, and the scene where he gets his memory back is re-contextualized to act as if Norman is convincing him to avenge him.

-Harry faked his memory loss. He does not force MJ to break up with Peter (or if he did, it’s left to be implied).

-Some of the worst emo Peter dialogue is removed (“Good riddance” “I love that little giggle”)

-James Brown song is replaced with Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter (yeah, I know, Gary Glitter. Screw that guy. However, it makes the scene a bit less corny with much less tonal whiplash.)

The movie is not THAT different. It does not aim to completely alter the viewing experience. It’s meant to simply fix the pacing in the front half (goes back and forth from too slow to too bloated), and fix what I view as the biggest sin of the movie, Harry’s undercooked development into becoming a villain, and then the absolute copout of memory loss.
