When I was younger, I was like a lot of other film snobs- I believed that 
longer films were more "artistic".  I think this was because a lot of 
Hollywood tripe is actually pretty short.  Eventually, though, I realized 
that extreme length is often a function of an editor not doing a good job 
or someone in the production crew being too in love with his/her work to 
leave it on the cutting room floor.  I just eventually saw enough art 
flicks to not be wooed by pretention and gimmicks.

Now, I love and praise anyone who can pack their entire point in to a 
small package, and my favorite format by far is the short.  It's like the 
difference between reading Sartre and Camus.  Sartre writes an 
imponderable 500-page tome that carries the same point that Camus makes in 
a paragraph.

Brevity is the friend of the artist.
