>Movie is less than 90 minutes
>>219782735damn, been a while since i saw that pic
>>219782756Imagine how she looks now
90 minutes is the sweet spot
>theater enforces a mandatory piss break every 30 minutes
>Movie is less than 80 minutesPerfect for yearly rewatch
Boomer here, the older I get the more I prefer 80-90 minutes movies. Does anyone else?
>>219784637Yeah, anything more than 120 minutes is retarded
I sat down to watch chitty chitty bang bang with my kids last weekend and was surprised at the intermission 90 minutes in. Totally forgot that movie is 2:45 or something like that.Absolutely worth it for Truly Scrumptious though
>>219782761>she
>>219784637I'm 29 and already getting there, assuming the film doesn't warrant being 2.5-3hrs+ (99% of the time they don't).
>>219784637Early Gen Z here. To be quite honest, I think Roger Ebert had it right when he said that no good film was too long and no bad film was short enough.
>>219782735a movie should be under two hours or over three hours long, no inbetweens
>>219782756thought the same. and I miss it
>>219782756I hated then and I hate it now
>>219782735Anthologies are great too, Wes Anderson's Dahl shorts were great
>>219782735She looks thoroughly breedable.
>>219782735>less than 90 minuteswatch anime OVA and concerts.
>>219784637Depends. If it's a dry drama or a stupid comedy screentime under 90 min is completely ok. I still like overlong war or western films.
>>219784637>>219784904Also boomer, and I agree with both of you
>>219782735My first thought was King Kong (1933) but I checked and in fact it's 100 minutes. So I think 90 is cutting it a bit fine. High Noon is only 85 minutes. What else?>>219785543>a movie should be under two hours or over three hours long, no inbetweensI think this is not a bad rule although there are some exceptions (Goodfellas is dead right at about 2:25). Lots of 2½-hour movies these days are basically 2-hour moves that ate too much lunch.The basic question is whether you have an intermission. Up to 2 hours — no intermission is fine. 3+ hours — you really want an intermission. But the area in the middle is a bit strained.(It's the same with books. The key is whether you can read it comfortably in a sitting. If you can, fine. If you really can't, fine. In the middle is a bit meh. That might be why novellas are much less popular than short stories & novels.)
any movie past 2015 that's over 2 hours is not worth watching
I can only watch long movies at home because I have to constantly piss now.
>>219786779You're just going to have to smuggle an empty milk bottle into the cinema for Star Wars: 50th Anniversary next year then.

>>219787067Blade Runner could've been shorter. Same goes for the original.
>>219786729Made me curious so:Joker 2019 2:01:49Alita 2019 2:01:57Smile 2 2024 2:09:18Challengers 2024 2:11:11The Housemaid 2025 2:11:21It 2017 2:14:42Red Sparrow 2018 2:20:14The Substance 2024 2:21:29Toni Erdmann 2016 2:42:34The Handmaiden 2016 2:48:27And a whole lot of capeshit.
>>219787281it's so fucking crazy that movies like the substance and smile and challengers think they're worth 2 hours
>>2197872812 hour+ horror movies really overstay their welcome
>Randall from Clerks 2 ended up being right about Return of the King inspiring directors to make movies long for no reason
>>219786117>anime OVAdilate, tripfag
You'll read this thread for 2 hours but watching 1 movie per year is too much. That's actual brain damage.
>>219787428they're the only somewhat acceptable animes to watch
>>219787410Actually it was capeshit. Here's a quick list of the trash that was normalized and is still accepted because of the genre:>average movie bloated beyond two hours, even kids movies>plot dumbed down to the barest thread with multiple characters repeating plot beats in dialogue for third worlders>post credit scenes>quippy reddit script that refuses to take anything seriously so the viewer has no way of engaging with anything on a real level>pointless cameos and easter eggs in lieu of actual substanceAll these things came about and persist because Avengers was popular fifteen years ago.
>>219787526Nah it was that gay elf movie
>>219787526>plot dumbed down to the barest thread with multiple characters repeating plot beats in dialogue for third worldersThat's because of smartphones and social media creating algorithm addicts with absolutely fried attention spans and rotted brains.
>>219787479it's not about the time investment it's about the movie being padded for nothing and bringing the quality down
>>219787067>Sentimental Value2hrs of BOREDOM
>>219787117youre such a cool contrarian anon
>>219782735high res image, anyone?!
>>219784637Xilenial here, it's the opposite for me. I just marathoned the dune miniseries+ Children. It was a kino experience.
>>219782735I don't trust a movie that's 90 minutes. If you hit that mark exactly it's because you cut it to 90. If your movie is 83 minutes it's because that's the best you could muster.
>>219787026Who is this adorable boy?
>>219788104
I don't mind long movie but it seems like every major blockbuster nowadays is long as fuck. Superhero movies and other shit for kids doesn't need to be 3 hours long
>>219787526The worst thing that has happened is diversity pandering. They bloat casts for their rainbow coalition and then have to create reasons for them to be there so the story goes all over the place and sucks. It's destroyed tv more than movies.
>>219788228upscale slop
Movies should be getting longer because tv no longer has scheduled programming where they need to be 80 minutes to fit in 40 minutes of commercials.If you want a short movie check out La Fonte Des Neiges or Reckless.
>>219784637The only movies that should be longer than 2 hours are historical epics and dramas. There is not a single reason why a genre film should be longer than 90 minutes
>>219782756Does anyone have that one from ~2011 of the girl at a party sitting on the couch and making a silly face?
For all my other uncs who know they're going to fall asleep in their recliner watching a movie before bed:Do you pick a movie you've never seen in the hopes it interests you enough to stay awake or do you put on something comfy you've seen a hundred times before.
>>219784656I still enjoy epics. I just take an intermission in the middle, like I'm at a theater play.
>90% of his kinos are 90 minutes or lessbased jew
>>219788228hmm......something fishy about this picture!
>>219782735One of kurosawa's films is 50 minutes.
