    a lot of people dont’ even watch movies anymore.

    i have been told may times from people the past few years a 90m movie is ‘too long’ for their attention span. tiktok brain. at best the can do 20m sitcoms where they don’t really have to pay attention to get the jokes.

        a movie isn’t a commitment. it’s entertainment. it’s not studying for a class.

        you can also… pause it and come back later.

        where do you work that you have 150minute meetings? that sounds insane.

            you could have said ‘i don’t like movies’.

            not ‘it’s an undue burden to watch a movie because it’s too long and i don’t have enough time in the day’.

            because if you did like movies, you probably would not see them that way.

            I have a 40 hour a week job, 20 hours of chores a week, and exercise 10 hours a week. i have plenty of time to watch movies, 2 or more per day if i want. it’s not a matter of time, it’s a matter of priorities.

            just like people say they don’t have time for the gym, but sit on their ass 6 hours a day on their phones dawdling.

      Where do you get those 90m movies? Most of the stuff I see is 120+? I yearn for shorter movies (70-80 has always been my favourite sweet spot)
