TV shows are an hour long now so they have to distinguish movies by length
why does every movie have to be 2½ hours
Same reason Hollywood produced epics in the past: It's hot and the people can't afford AC
good point, the only reason I saw Doctor Strange 2 in theaters was because there was a heat wave and there was nothing good out at the time
I saw it because yim yum Sam Raimi slop
yeah Raimi is the other reason why I gave it a chance, but even a good director can't save these Marvel movies
he should go back to making horror slop instead of superhero slop
This is why I saw Cruella in theaters 3 years ago. For the sweet sweet AC
Goddamn, how are they going to fill that runtime?
Maybe with some Boebert footage?
why does every movie have to be 2½ hours
because then cinemas don't have the time to play anything other than the shit hollywood studios pull out of their asses
What? I prefer 3 hour movies. You can do so much more character development and twists with the time
it really depends on the type of movie. this is Beetlejuice were talking about, not some Scorsese crime epic
Why couldn't we have better character development in Beetlejuice?
I don't really think all movies need character development to be good, I mean it's definitely important in say, a character-driven drama film, but in a zany screwball comedy horror movie for kids? not so much.
Beetlejuice has a very silly premise which benefits from brevity, I think diving too deep into the characters would make the whole thing less fun and bog the movie down in terms of pacing. it's really important for a movie like that to maintain a sense of momentum, and that's very hard to do with a long runtime
