Amen.

...looking at you,Scorsese.

Looking at virtually every one.

Yup. In the 80s if a movie hit 2 hours or even 2 hours 10 minutes it was a slog.

This is why as I get older watching at home is better for me - after 2 hours, my bladder needs release and I can pause at home!!!

Shoot I have to watch movies at home because I keep falling asleep in the theaters. I've had to re-watch the same movie two or three times to see what I missed when I was snoozing.

I think his point about the editing and pacing being more important than the length is a good one. There are movies that go for three hours but are edited so well they don't drag on and on. The opposite is also true.

There are movies I'd watch if they were longer and then there are movies I think are too long even though they're really not. I'm hoping the next Dune one goes for a long time because the first one could've been forty minutes longer and I would've been happy to watch it.

That's another thing:movies are so damn long they have to be split in two parts. The last Mission:Impossible movie was nearly 3 hours,and fans have to wait 2 years for the concluding movie to come out. Mini-series belong on TV,not in theaters.
