Finished "In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch. This was the second edition of a book about film editing, though really it's more about the history and earlier days and technology of editing, simply because it hasn't been updated. There are a couple interesting tidbits in here for the aspiring editor, but much of the talk of technology and speculation of the future are lost now that we've advanced another decade and a half.
That said, the guy's still a far better editor than I am.
One of the things that drew me to this book was the title. I had co-written an IFGS game once named "In the Blink of an Eye." That game and this book of course had nothing in common. I didn't see a single mention in the book of a seven-headed cryo-pyro-were-blink hydra.
