I'm genuinely scarred from certain moments in both Game of Thrones and Walking dead, I had to stop watching both and still think about them occasionally. Like I know life is cruel etc etc but why does your prime time entertainment tv show have to be so horrible!
Project Hail Mary - the book - was pretty 'mid' too. I just saw the movie the other night. It was okay. And I agree, at 60 years old, movie runtimes are a challenge on the bladder. And I'm going to have to face The Odyssey this Friday!
The theater is the only place where I'm willing to watch a three-hour movie. At home, I'm too distracted by all of the better things there are to do, like watching entire seasons of TV shows for the same amount of time
@Mark In my opinion, if you put together a huge resource page compiling notes for each chapter of the The Odyssey, you don't HAVE to face a movie adaptation, you've earned a pass!
I struggle so hard to watch movies anymore, to the point that I seem to gravitate to anything 90 minutes or less because of my crud attention span, eek. I think my last one was Miss Hokusai, which I did enjoy a good bit!
i've heard that movies are longer and more epic because it's the only way to get people into the theatre any more -- theatres must sell an upscale experience ("event") to compete against streaming and the inertia people have on their couches. hence the huge reclining seats, long dramatic movies or over-the-top action/cgi blockbusters, etc. the mid-budget comedy is truly dead, i miss the days of 75m fluffy romcoms.
omg 50 ways to say goodbye, takes me back to middle school
Movies these days are *definitely* too long!

All I want is to laugh and have fun literally all the time, is that really too much to ask?

@June Huh, maybe this is the real reason I don't actually watch movies anymore.
