Specially for movies that aren't on streaming platforms and haven't been released on BR. Last movie i saw was Dune pt 2. 166 minutes. Add to that 20 minutes of adds/trailers, that's 3 hours. When i add 2*20 min drive, time to buy snacks etc ( another 15-20 min), that's 4 hours total for 2h46m long movie. D&W was too long, and while fun, they could made it half an hour shorter and not loose anything important for the story. For action comedy, that 90-100 min time mark is just right. I'm on the other hand, moving away from series for couple of reasons. First off, shows getting cancelled after season or two. While that isn't big deal with old "monster/adventure of the week" format where every episode is rounded story, for new shows that have big season (or multi season) plot arches, it's a problem. You invest 8-10 hours, get to cliffhanger season finale, and then show gets cancelled. That's just blue balling the viewers. Then there is shows with more and more fillers. S2 House of Dragon has more filler than actual plot. Last one is, if the show survives by some miracle, they drag on with quality of material getting worse (GoT i'm looking at you here). Oh, not to mention, waiting 1-2y between seasons. On the other hands, movies at least have self contained plot. You watch it, and move on. If it gets sequel, cool, if not, also cool.</blockquote>
