[Chewbacca]

Oscar noms came out and there’s chatter here and around the interwebs that longer than typical 90min movies are a pain. Or long movies in general aren’t good.

Why?

Its art.

Its like a 48mm watch vs 38mm. Someone designed it and signed off on it. You don’t like it, don’t buy it.

There’s always been long and short concerts, plays, songs, books, poems, etc.

The only reason movies were pushed to stick to 90min was so cinemas could squeeze more shows on a screen in a day and therefore sell more concessions.

If it takes 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 hours to tell the story in the eyes of the creators, so be it.

But to say something wasn’t good or necessary because of the length (giggitty) seems odd to me.

We all know the length beforehand (giggitty) so don’t take it in if it’s too long or too short (giggitty).


That’s my opinion, what’s yours?


And The Irishman was a good film.

Won’t win but if you like Scorsese, more is better.

1917 will win BP.
