Going back for a second to Murch's idea of rhythm in cutting.
Rhythm can be a difficult thing to pin down and define. It's easy to feel, hard to explain.
I found an interesting article, with video clips from two different movies which elucidates it beautifully.
Check out

and scroll down most of the way down to the bottom till you find a heading RHYTHM.
Notice the different emotional effects that the different editing rhythms give to you the audience. Could you use this somewhere in your films yourself? What does it teach you about editing?
