# Just what I look for in a movie
At least it was short I suppose. Why does every other film seem to be well over 2 1/2 hours these days? Does everyone think they are Peter Jackson?

# It's the old "I would have written a short letter, but I didn't have time" thing.
It's harder to make a good, short movie, than it is to ramble on for hours in the hope that this improves things.

Recent good short film : Burn After Reading. 96 minutes. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887883/)

# haven't seen that yet
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).
