The Editing Room: Like HISHE in a Written Format

So while I was finding some images for The Amazing Spider-Man movie showing this Saturday (6-8:30pm if you want to come lol), I stumbled across a website that is pretty hilarious. Its called The Editing Room, and it basically abridges the scripts of popular movies. But, it doesn't only abridge them; it abridging them in ways that pokes fun at all the idiosyncrasies, errors, cliches, and plot holes that show up in the movie, and is therefore quiet hilarious.

Thinking about it, this website kind of reminds me of HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) in a written format. We all love movies, and even when a movie has a lot of problems, we still love it. HISHE and The Editing Room play on our love for movies while still admitting that they have problems.

While these problems are typically pronounced, we don't like to admit they have problems because we love the movies anyways. But, HISHE and The Editing Room turn these problems into hilarious videos and scripts, and so we forgive their blatant poking at our favorite movies lol.

While both websites are hilarious, I have a word of caution about The Editing Room. HISHE videos are typically devoid of language or sexual references. The Editing Room on the other hand seems to adapt their script to the movie it is based on. So, if the movie had language and sex in it, The Editing Room script has language and sex in it (and sometimes the abridged scripts has some language even when the movie doesn't). 

Let me know what you think =D
