I'm not a movie executive or a focus group so you would have to ask one of them about it. If their research tells them long movies don't do as good who am I to question them? I'm not the general public, I can sit through hour on end of mindless violence (of course I have severe back problems and I cannot sit in one place for very long so a 3 hour movie would require a pain pill and would still be a torture test for me). The problem here is that they are not worried about die hard fans they are worried about the general public, can Joe Average off the street sit through 3 hours of this? It was Tarantino who said nobody would sit through three hours of this type of movie not me. It was the Miramax who decided to split the movie and that was one of the reason they gave. I was going by what Tarantino and others said about why they cut it in two. <a href="http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030605#9" target="_blank">http</a><a href="http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030605#9" target="_blank">://us.imdb.com/WN?20030605#9</a>Me I wasn't phased at all by the movie, but I'm not a average viewer either. I've already pointed out that the movie didn't bother me at all and that I didn't think it was that bad, but we would have to poll people coming out of the theater to get a good idea of what the general movie going public thought. for the record Kill Bill vol 1 was 111 minutes long, if it was cut in exact half that would make the whole thing 3 hours 42 minutes long. How many 4 hour movies have there been?<a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/trivia" target="_blank">http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/trivia</a> &  <a href="http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030225#7" target="_blank">http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030225#7</a> <a href="http://us.imdb.com/SB?20030716#2" target="_blank">http://us.imdb.com/SB?20030716#2</a><a href="http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030902#5" target="_blank">http://us.imdb.com/WN?20030902#5</a></blockquote>
