How Star Wars was Saved in the Edit
George Lucas made a little movie back in 1976. You may have heard of it. Star Wars was unwatchable to the few filmmakers who got to see it. But it was an important project for Lucas, one he'd already poured his best efforts into. So they went back and re-edited the entire thing. When I say "they," I mean the production team, but the magic that took place in the re-edit was due to the talents of Marcia Lucas, George's wife at the time.
David Welsh of RocketJump Film School goes through how the rough cut was changed into what we now know as Star Wars: A New Hope. You'll see a lot of the rough footage that was either deleted or changed -and even more important, why it was changed. You can see why Marcia Lucas won an Oscar for editing the movie (along with Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew). -via Metafilter

I love my child. I will love him no matter what he does in life. I have loved him since I first found out I was pregnant.
Sometimes I don't like his behavior very much though. When he messes up his room with the contents of his diaper (he's 20 months old) I really don't like it. I don't approve of behavior like that. But does that make me love him any less?
HELL NO!
Methinks people who write articles like this need to go out and buy a dictionary before they make themselves look like complete idiots.
My children are going to wonder about me when they get older, ha!
-Good child effort >>> yeilds >>> Positive attention.
-Maladaptive effort >>> yeilds >>> Negative attention.
Most people would call this FULL TIME parenting.
Warning to all: Alfie Cohn shows up in educational circles often. Most people with any knowledge of educational research or child psychology dismiss him as the poorly-grounded sensationalist he is... -Steve
