      lol yea, toootally nothing to do with it. That’s why nobody ever talks about great movies, and movies toooootally aren’t getting longer nad longer… yep, totally not a quality to attention thing.

      Not like there are legendary movies that are several hours long that people still watch… Yep, quality has nothing to do with how long people stay engaged with movies!

        The fact that classics exist has literally nothing to do with this discussion. Also, no, movies aren’t getting longer. Source.

        There are plenty of great films still being made every year. If you don’t watch or like them, that’s a you problem.

        The Intro to the film, “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” comes to mind.

        Great film, slow, steady, meaningful.

        Do the people who have their phones out in films nowadays watch those old movies without looking at their phones, hmm?

        Your snark makes you sound like an arsehole.

          My snark is because it was an assinine statement that was said rudely. I don’t know why you’re mad at me and not the rude person with the wrong opinion.
