    R.I.P.: Yesterday, so hot in L.A. Tarantino's Career Editor Sally Menke Killed

    Apparently, yesterday was so hot in L.A. that it became a hand of death.... killing one of my all-time favorite film editors.... R.I.P. Menke.

    Sally Menke, Tarantino's editor, found dead on hiking trail - CNN.com
    When I .... how do you say (?) .... think of my mindframe on this spaceplane, I'm Skywalker with my X-Wing like I was when I was a kid.

    That SUCKS... So sad. What a great talent lost so needlessly. I know the Heavens are being entertained tonight.
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    QT must be devastated. He and Sally were a team since the beginning, like Scorsese and editor Thelma Schoonmaker.

    That's awful may she RIP.

  9. Wow. Really sad to hear this. I was a big fan.

    I used to watch scenes in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction over and over, studying their rhythm and cadence. Pulp Fiction has great continuity between cuts. You can watch Travolta take a drag on his cig, then it cuts to someone else - Travolta will be mostly out of view - but you'll still see the puff of smoke enter the frame at just the right moment. And the interesting thing about her (and QT) is they always knew when not to cut, in order to increase tension. That's a skill that many modern-day editors seem to lack. She seemed like a really modest, unassuming person in her interviews, and I feel like I learned a lot from her work. She will be missed.
