Since LOTR, all of PJ's films except The Lovely Bones have been over 2.5 hours (to be fair, Hobbit 3 is just a few minutes shy, but the EE will take care of that). None of those films needed to be that long.

I get hard for Christopher Nolan as much as the next geek, but Interstellar was actually his first movie since The Prestige that I felt wasn't too long. As much as I love Inception and The Dark Knight, they're overwritten and unnecessarily padded.

Martin Scorsese keeps getting away with marathon films because he's Marty Fucking Scorsese. But if Wolf of Wall Street were directed by, let's say David Fincher, it would have been less than 2.5 hours. All his other DiCaprio movies are too long as well.

Also, the Harry Potter movies are all too long, but they'll get a pass because they're good. If these had been made in the 80s, you can be sure none of them would have surpassed 115 minutes. At least the POS Twilight movies stay around the 2 hour mark.

Of course, long movies aren't anything new. There are scores of movies "from the past" that were way too long.

that is not what I was talking about.

You know when go on to youtube and you watch a video?   Below the video are comments people make about the video.  Where on Google+ do you go to see those comments?

On the Google+ page for the uploader. Here's an example from YouTuber "Tuxedo Mark". https://plus.google.com/102191678969705810740/posts Those are comments on his YT videos, on Google+.

"Well what about MY YouTube comments? Where can I see those on Google+?" is what you're no doubt thinking. My answer: Don't know.

^ Give specific examples of countries you think it would be better to see them fail than helped.

 I'm not an expert <snip>

Ok I get what you're getting at, but your concept of "letting that country fail" is bullshit. I'm all for not "upsetting the local businesses" and culture, but what you were saying seemed to imply that every country should now take the viewpoint "Me me me me me I don't care about you go die peacefully" which is pretty childish and selfish.

Room 237 (2012)

An absurd "documentary" covering several ridiculous theories about the things Kubrick was trying to say in The Shining.  The theories are entertaining for a short while but grow tiresome (especially the one from the Sandy Hook truther where he's convinced Kubrick faked the moon landing footage everyone saw).  The use of completely unrelated movie footage, the terribly mismatched soundtrack, and the utter lack of visual shots of the theorists (audio only) drag the grade down even further.  I give it a D.

Totally agree. A group of lunatics somehow made a theatrical YouTube poop.

 Sheryl Crow.

Shit in that case, wear a chastity belt. 

 Attention fuckface: You don't wear a belt with Z Cavaraccis. Fashion sense much?

Listen future-rape-victim: Of course I don't wear that fucking belt myself, I don't go to rapefests with my rapey brother.
