I mentioned this in the Solo thread and I wonder if it's just weird'ol me being....well weird'ol me :lol
Basically here's how it goes: we'll take SW a new hope as an example-when I got a VCR back in the mid 80's (around '87) I watched ANH a lot,a whole LOT and even back then I kinda liked it and yet could see that for all the hoopla it wasn't that wonderful of a film,good yes but not amazing.
The way it goes and it's been this way since my binge watching the first ever SW film that when I really don't like a film and I watch it too much I get to the point that I'll notice the thing feels shorter and shorter even if it's a two plus hour film.
With SW it's tattooine,the death star,attack on the death star,the end in that order and what is a two hour movie feels like an hour and a half or less...still that way today if I watch it (and it's been five years about since I watched it last)
It's worse for films I look at now and cringe like back to the future or raising Arizona if I sit and watch them it feels like the worst ten minutes of my life.
Yet some dumb films I really liked,love even,don't suffer from this for example a few of the 60's Toho rubber monster movies like Godzilla Vs the Astro monster are still slow and last...does this make sense?
Anybody else? You have films that seem way shorter then when you watched them the first time? Films you liked? Or ones that you didn't? Is it just me?
