Don Zimmerman Dies: Oscar-Nominated ‘Coming Home’ Editor Who Worked On ‘Being There,’ ‘Rocky’ Pics & Dozens More Was 81 Don Zimmerman, =Oscar-nominated film editor for 'Coming Home' who worked on dozens of other pics including 'Being There' and 'Rocky' sequels, died July 24 at 81

Don Zimmerman: “I learned from the people that I worked with that it’s mainly your gut. Above all else, they always taught me to tell the truth. I was fortunate to work with directors that would always say, ‘Let me see your interpretation of it first.'”

Currently on eBay, a mug with two handles to promote the movie RAISING CAIN (1992)

On the reverse of the mug is the tagline 'When Jenny cheated on her husband he didn't just leave... he split.'

A two handled mug?! I trust Marketing took the rest of the month off.

‘The Bad Guys 2’ Review: Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron and Awkwafina Return for More Criminally Fun Animated Antics Anthony Ramos and Craig Robinson are also back, joined by characters voiced by Danielle Brooks, Maria Bakalova, and Natasha Lyonne, for this 'toon about a group of animal outlaws.

Add depth to your film review by considering the editing:

“The Bad Guys 2 garners even more laughs with its abrupt edits that land like animated mic drops.”
