Movies are just as bad with the editing. They're way too fucking long.

Wake up dead man? I feel like 30-45m could be cut and it'd be good. Why is One Battle after another almost 3 hours?

Is there a competition to try to beat the notoriously long Lord of the Rings Extended edition in runtime?

I miss the 90-115 min movie length standard from not that far ago. Those screenwriters knew how to make a script tight.

Movies with a runtime over 3 hours really stood out.

One Battle After Another - skip everything in the earlier timeline at the beginning of the movie. Nothing is lost. It might even be better, because what exactly is happening is a bit of a mystery but you still get all the info you need in the end.
