It's harder to make a good, short movie, than it is to ramble on for hours in the hope that this improves things.

there's a famous quote from someone about how much time is needed to make a speech, which fits nicely with that. something like "if you want me to talk for 10 minutes i need a week to prepare, for half an hour i need a day and if you want me to talk for an hour i can start now". maybe Roosevelt (and obviously i've paraphrased horribly from memory).
