I think that when the film editor's output becomes obvious, he's failed. Interesting that feature movie editors are commonly recruited from the tv commercial industry. I also wonder how many are products of film schools. And Ritalin.

Stanley Kubrick admired the way TV commercials were edited.

  Admired, perhaps, but thankfully he didn't adopt it. And I'd imagine he made that statement long before the current style of digitally-empowered visual frenetics became the norm. Seems to me his films were shot and edited using an exactly opposite style of lingering views and wide encompassing shots.
