Name good movies that are under 2 hours.
Damn good movie!
Have you ever dropped a show because it took too long between seasons?
Who are YOUR 4 horsemen of "I'm definitely skipping that movie"?
Getting scared as an adult...
Season 3 was great!
Last entry (possibly)
No new Die Hard...
Name a movie that ruined or damaged an actress/actor's career?
It's a mixed bag

What? No way! MiB is one of my all time faves but I honestly wouldn't have guessed the 90 minute runtime.
Same thing happened with me recently watching Get Shorty.
The whole thing ran for an hour, 40mins, without credits and the run time flew by.
One of Gosling's best imo.
All excellent films.
Wow, Phone Booth is that short?! Damn. Really good thriller though.
Also, Zombieland is a perfect example of a movie that uses its runtime really well.
Rewatched Reservoir Dogs like 2 years ago & was genuinely surprised it's a 90min movie.
Excellent movie. Uses the low budget really really well.
I think How I met Your Mother used it well. It's kinda like "background noise". It's not as distracting.
Growing up in the late 90s to early 2000s, I didn't really mind them at all.
But in my early 20s, I discovered shows like Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Curb & Community.
Comedies that were genuinely funny that didn't rely on canned laughter
Afterwards shows with laugh tracks & live audiences just started to annoy me. It's like a switch went on/off in my brain & I started noticing the awkward pauses between jokes & the really really annoying "fake laughter"
You know, when a character says something, anything, and the "audience" loses their freaking minds..
I think it's most noticeable in Friends & also The Big Bang Theory..
Get Shorty (1995) - Haven't seen this one since I was a teen. Fantastic flick. Good perfomances & fun characters. 8.5/10
The Sandman season 1 (Netflix) - Finally checked it out. First 6 episodes are so damn good. And then it takes a turn for the worst. Genuinely struggled to finish the final 4 episodes.
Legit felt like I was watching a CW melodrama. The score would be higher if it just stopped after the first story concluded. At the sixth episode. 7/10
I once got the whole boxset of Smallville for $1.50.
Checked to make sure, all 10 seasons were intact.
