The northeastern United States is under several feet of snow thanks to storms that started last Friday evening. Entire cities have called it quits in the face of winter’s handiwork. For The Editing Bin, this meant that Rachel was the only one able to get to a showing of Avatar. In honor of her bravery, and as a proof of my existance in this frozen tundra, I’ve attached a picture of what a weekend without Avatar looks like.

For those of you stuck in the airport, my deepest sympathy. For those of you curled by the fire, enjoy the snow day. For those of you who wish you could have a white Christmas, you are welcome to all of the snow you can carry. Please, bring your 4-wheelers, buckets, and shovels. Just grab your snowshoes and make sure your vehicle is insured. Because we have snow – lots of it – and thanks to the freeze of last night, we also have premium ice available for low rates. It’s fun for the whole family.

I, in the meantime, will remain curled in front of my radiator enjoying the picture of fire that glimmers so beautifully on my television screen, and look forward to next weekend’s podcast: The Editing Bin’s Christmas Blitz.

Happy Holidays everyone!

This week has brought many changes to the editing bin. Planning for some of these changes has been great fun. As many of you know, we are in the process of updating the content of our website… but I won’t ruin the surprises for you. You will have to wait and see. Sadly, the news that has me sitting at my computer today is rather more bittersweet. Becca Tingstrom is leaving us, after 24 glorious episodes, for new and exciting adventures. Her blunt sarcasm and love for all things Indiana Jones have brought much laughter and joy to our podcast and we will greatly miss her.

While we wish she could join us, Rachel and I will continue to review your favorite movies and will do our best to include Becca-isms as often as possible. Thank you, Becca, for the laughter and tears, the Star Wars references and unending call for more mindless gore, the biting wit and indelible charm. We hope you will come back and visit often – you are always welcome.
