Should movies be shortened to catch up with the audience's attention span?
HELLOOOOO CHUDLEY
ideal movie length is 90 minutes
Try watching a 90min movie with a phone addict. They get bored and pull out their phone during the movie. I called my cousin out on it once and he told me he was "still watching"
pretentious directors btfo
Yes.
I refuse to watch anything over 2 hours long.
Have watched a few clips of Oppenheimer, and that's all it gets from me.
Oppenheimer was fricking terrible because there was no real story to tell and they focused on his love life.
Movies should not be long if they have no story. A good plot makes or breaks a movie and modern movies have no plot.
>plotgays when they sit through an entire film just to realize that the journey was about the friends we met along the way and not the destination
how are people functioning if everyones attention span is supposedly going down?
i had to drop out of college because i couldnt focus and yet people complain about no attention span while being able to graduate and work jobs?
That's why there are more people in the work force. We're creating jobs to take care of other people's frick ups
no shit I lost my accountant position because I couldnt fricking focus enough after sitting in a cubicle all day under fluorescent lights…long story short I started drinking pretty heavily and majorly fricked up a report so the company had to fire me
You should had created a macro to review all your work for you, create a macro and sit back and relax during the week
>how are people functioning if everyones attention span is supposedly going down?
They aren't.
colleges already adapt and try to introduce more short term learning
lol why do people pretend that tiktok isn't chinese spyware
LITERALLY EVERYONE is drunk or high at all times. It’s disgusting.
People are drinking less than ever before.
You clearly live a sheltered life lmao
You are clearly no older than 30. Things were way worse back then.
wtf are you talking about you dumb troony everyone wasn’t always drunk and eating edibles and vaping and on Prozac and antipsychotics and shooting nips all day.
In fact, in my state nip litter and drunk driving is so prevalent there’s some gay vote going on to ban the sale of nips.
Check a statistic or read an account of history once in your life you dumb unaware frick.
Life isn’t in your maps and books, it’s out there *points out your front door*
Everyone wasn’t on Prozac and every other kind of substance imaginable 24/7 until recently
I was talking about alcohol, do you have reading comprehension too?
I gave a list of things. And no everyone is drunker than ever too.
Ok so you're just some low iq dude. I don't know why i inhabit this site anymore when it has been invaded by non-white dumb fricks like you.
Yeah you better go back to r*ddit with the rest of the trannies.

WHAT A LIFE
just how can I focus?
I try to watch a movie but I feel this inner unrest and urgency to do something else even if I have nothing specific in mind. I end up going to Cinemaphile even though there is no specific topic I want to discuss and I dont have much faith in someone making an interesting thread.
it takes me like 4 hours to watch a 2 hour movie
Ive been prescribed adhd meds to no effect
When the urge comes, you need to take control and focus on what you're doing.
Its worth changing which ones you're on as they do work differently for different people.
I'm on 36mg concerta xl and the adjustment period was rough, i felt like i'd just done a line of coke for like 10 hours a day.
Having said that I have never had difficulty just watching a good movie.
Yes. Modern movies are too long. They do not tell an engaging or complex enough story to warrant the run time.
I love the tiktok account where they just show movie summaries with AI voices explaining whats actually going on like it's for blind people.
bleak
so it's pretty clear that TikTok is being used by the Chinese as a weapon against the West. Is the intention to spread propaganda, sow divisiveness, lower IQ and attention span, or spread disinformation? Or is it just a combination of all of these things?
The US doesn't need to do that. We're already eating microplastics, eating food that gives autism and breathing pollution that causes depression
data-mining mostly
tiktok is a chinese digital weapon and it needs to be banned. we also need to segregate our internet
If I see 1h40 to 1h55 then I know it’s either well cut and edited kino with no filler or fat, or so shitty that it’s not much of a time investment to watch the first 30 and see the direction it’s going
Ironically, movies are longer than ever.
No they should be lengthened to filter all you homosexuals with fried dopamine receptors. Now frick off back to tiktok
You know what? Yes. Yes they fricking should. Hollywood seems to have forgotten the 90-105 minute sweet spot and expects us to be in a movie theater for two and a half fricking hours for every piece of shit they pump out.
It's not about length, it's about pacing. And to a lesser extent character development. This generation can binge watch a show for 12 hours straight because it's hard to frick up the pacing in a 20-40 minute episode. Even the 90 minute films released now feel longer than they need to be. Your tiktok brain friends are checking out of films early because they're not offering anything engaging to entice them to keep watching. For a more nuanced film this is generally redeemable but with most films theres no reason to really keep watching beyond the first 20 minutes.
there should at least be phone breaks every 20 minutes or so, so we can snapchat our friends without pissing off the boomers
People binge watch 10 episode Netflix shows
Only mega brainlets have this problem
I'm 33 with kids and feel like every movie is 2h30+ now and I don't have the time anymore. I need 100 to 130 minute movies again
