I look forward to the lights going down, the previews. But lately, I find myself opting to stay home. Not because the \u201cgolden age\u201d of TV makes me prefer HBOathons. Not because of the ticket prices. I simply don\u2019t have four hours to spare, and apparently, that\u2019s what I need to allot to see an action film today\u2013even a comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at current offerings*:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/spectre\/883904330714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spectre<\/a>: 2 hours, 28 minutes<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/the-martian\/024543206385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Martian<\/a>: 2 hours, 24 minutes<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/bridge-of-spies\/786936847895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bridge of Spies<\/a>: 2 hours, 21 minutes<\/li>\n<li>The Hunger Games: Mockingjay \u2013 Part 2: 2 hours, 17 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Factor in the time it takes to get to and from the theater, park, get tickets, and find a seat, and you\u2019ve now lost up to five hours of your day. It isn\u2019t a nice break in the day; it is your day. Talk about awkward first dates: Hello, I just met you. Now let\u2019s spend five hours together. I know I\u2019m not alone in my irritation about this trend. And since so many of us spend hours sitting in front of computers, that much time in stiff seats isn\u2019t exactly what the chiropractor ordered either.<\/p>\n<p>What I find baffling about these bloated times is that editing techniques have improved dramatically in the last 90 years. I can trim a film on my computer. Why not use these techniques, or, I don\u2019t know, hire an editor for the screenplay? And if Hollywood really wants to compete with television, is length really the only asset at its disposal? Might not convenience play a part in dwindling ticket sales? Three to five hours of time to spare is anything but manageable for the average single person, much less a family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/?attachment_id=48564#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48564\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48564\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GOLDFINGER-4.jpg\" alt=\"GOLDFINGER\" width=\"530\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GOLDFINGER-4.jpg 530w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/GOLDFINGER-4-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Drawn-out action films particularly offend me. How long can the fevered pitch of an action film keep you enthralled? In the celebrated 60s Bond flicks, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/dr-no\/883904333074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dr. No<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/goldfinger\/883904333159\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Goldfinger<\/a>, the stories took an hour and 50 minutes. Spectre, the most recent Bond offering, is almost 40 minutes longer.<\/p>\n<p>I know one could argue that dramas demand length. While I agree that certain stories are exceptional, for dramas as a whole, economy is part of the art. Preston Sturges managed a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/preston-sturges-the-filmmaker-collection\/025193112620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">medical biopic<\/a> in an hour and 23 minutes. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/citizen-kane-70th-anniversary\/883929224289\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Citizen Kane<\/a>, the Orson Welles masterpiece largely credited as the best film of all time, clocks in at just under two hours. In 1935\u2019s Oscar-nominated Les Mis\u00e9rables, the narrative of Jean Valjean was conveyed in an hour and 48 minutes; by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/les-miserables-1998\/043396239999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">1998 version<\/a>, it had expanded to two hours and 14 minutes, and by<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/les-miserables\/025192150548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> 2012<\/a>, the tale had reached two hours and 38 minutes. The latter version being a musical is no excuse. Disney manages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/?attachment_id=48561#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48561\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48561\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/THIS-IS-40-DUCK-SOUP.jpg\" alt=\"THIS-IS-40-DUCK-SOUP\" width=\"600\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/THIS-IS-40-DUCK-SOUP.jpg 600w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/THIS-IS-40-DUCK-SOUP-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even comedies have been breaking the 2-hour mark in the past few years. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/this-is-40\/025192114229\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">This Is 40<\/a>, a 2012 Judd Apatow production, was a whopping two hours and 14 minutes.

Why does such a simple story need 121 minutes, when the Marx Brothers could make <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/duck-soup\/025192084614\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">cinema history<\/a> in 68, and Mae West a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/she-done-him-wrong\/025192578823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">brilliant period comedy<\/a> in 66?<\/p>\n<p>Among 1945\u2019s Oscar nominees, only one film hit the bloated timeline of current films, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/anchors-aweigh-1945\/883929007608\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Anchors Aweigh<\/a>. Have you heard of it? I didn\u2019t think so. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/lost-weekend-1945\/025192115325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Lost Weekend<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/mildred-pierce\/012569675384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mildred Pierce<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/spellbound\/883904252528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spellbound<\/a> all managed their plots in under two hours, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/bells-of-st-marys\/887090075107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Bells of St. Mary\u2019s<\/a> just over. A decade before, the 12 nominees were all under two hours and 20 minutes, and several well under two hours, including a drama, John Ford\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/john-ford-film-collection\/085393980429\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Informer<\/a> (91 minutes). Among Sight &amp; Sound\u2019s best five films of all time, one, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/sunrise\/024543873273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sunrise<\/a>, is just 94 minutes. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/vertigo\/025192143342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vertigo<\/a>, its top choice, is just over two hours. Eighty years after The Informer, with all the technology and years of models at their disposal, Hollywood can\u2019t manage to do just a little cutting?<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s nominees for the Oscar included several beautifully edited, economical films, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/grand-budapest-hotel\/024543897385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Grand Budapest Hotel<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/whiplash\/043396445642\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Whiplash<\/a>.
