Keith:
Let me run the Homeviewing Rules by you:
1. Cooking - all home viewing fans know that the movie does not start
until the food is prepared, picked up, or delivered and served.
2. go to the bathroom before the movie starts - however you bathroom
breaks are permitted
3. Phones calls?
Well, that's how *I* do it, but most people don't. Heck, I even put the e-mail
down when a movie starts! :O

Martin: i'm with you. When I rent DVD's I do double features, but for
the sure attention spans of the average movie goer, I wonder if it is
too long. I've been reading accounts of some movies many of us dislike,
but thought we might like where the powers that be decided that it was
too long
I remember back when MTV had SHort Attention Span Theatre, and I thought that
was a silly title. How prescient it was! Still, though the suits often dumb
down entertainment, there are things that show it's not necessary.
Slowly-unfolding-mystery shows like Lost and Heroes require a type of
While I agree that three hours is too long, wasn't Kill Bill and lord of
the rings long too?

Kill Bill was three hours, and Tarentino and the studio therefore split it into
Kill Bill Part 1 and Kill Bill Part 2, released a few month's apart. That
seems to have worked. The LOTR flicks were all three hours long, but that's
rare nowadays, and I think the density of the source material
I guess it depends on what you like. A lot of folks I know loved the
over the top adrenaline rush of Planet Terror while others liked the
slow burn of Death Proof.

I've noticed that patience these days is a lost artform. I even know a cpouple
of hardcore AI fans who can't bother to watch the show, because it's too
long. They'll watch the Daily Buzz the next day on UPN for the AI update. I
was waffling on whether to go and see this, but this lukewarm
Tracey, foe me, I could tolerate the length of the LOTR movies because the
books themselves read as though they were infinitely long as well. And, from my
own history of illness, I'vve mastered the art of being still for long periods
of time.

I agree. I know two guys at work who both have widescreen TVs and watch a lot
of movies at home. Our conversations often include them telling me how it's
taking two or three days to watch a film. They'll say things like Well, I got
to this part of Lord of the Rings, but I stopped the DVD and
Personally. I like long, at the end of Batman I was left wanting more.
At the end of Kill Bill and Lord of the Rings I felt sated. But if you
look at the attention-span of the average TV/Movie viewer, more than 90
minutes is too long. While I understand it, it does not apply to me.

Can't get around that, either. Even when I waqs a kid, I had to see something
all the way through, from school projects to movies.

I better get my butt in gear and check it out before it disappears.
I grew up in New Orleans and there were several Grindhouse type
theaters(The Circle, The Gallo, The Carver, The Famous, The Orpheum,
etc.) and I got to watch some of the same stuff that Tarantino loves
so much. Unfortunately
yeah, I hear that Planet Terror isn't thought to be as good as Death Proof. I

hour length is too long.
