@kaia yeah, i don't really know what's going on.

@lain @kaia
This seems to indicate that streaming has given directors some excuse to push for longer movies, but it does seem like both audiences and executives are tired of it.

@Paradox @kaia I was used to link movies both from old Hollywood and Bollywood, but those always have an intermission.

@kaia @lain I don't think attention spans are sinking but they are getting more selective.

It's interesting because video games went the open world route too, opened us up to larger worlds in play in... and they can charge more for the privilege.
