(Tronick is center, holding mic)
I decided to simply pick a movie editor, since I have no favorite movies. I picked the editor The Green Hornet, a movie I want to see, but haven't been able to yet. The editor, Michael Tronick, is a veteran music and film editor. He worked on such known titles as Predator from 1987 and Mr. & Mrs. Smith from 2005. He is the Vice President of American Cinema Editors, as of 2006. He has over twenty-five film credits, and has been nominated twice for A.C.E. 'Eddie' Awards for The Scent of a Woman(1992) and Hairspray(2007).
He started as a music editor, then transitioned into film editor, when a film editor who was working with an office nearby him asked for his help in cutting some song sequences. After that, he got another offer for Streets of Fire(1984), and then a bigger one to be the third film editor for Beverly Hills Cop II(1987). He considers picture editing a much larger responsibility than just music editing. He works on everything with his crew, and tries to get a suitable place to work. After that, he reads through the script several times, and tries to meet with the director if he's not too busy. When that's done, they begin putting together the editor's cut. He puts a lot of work into making sure that his crew is involved with the editing, and that their opinions are heard. He does, however, admit that he's not very 'technical', and and usually has his assistants take care of technical difficulties. Dios mio, there really is nothing about editors on the internet. I couldn't find a single full biography. I'm sorry...

Although you claim that there is "nothing" about editors on the internet, your were able to find a heck of a lot about Michael Tronick. Your information about him was excellently presented. The only thing missing from your post is information from your perspective about editing. Here were the questions:
Talk about your own editing style, if you have one.
Why editing is important in filmmaking?
I hope you get to see the Green Hornet!
