'Gone with the wind' comes to mind, I could not sit through such a long movie like that. Much rather watch a James Bond movie

Gone With The Wind types are ONE offs...and should stay that way,it's when you get others trying to be clever and go the same marathon lengths.

The problem we have today is that cinema films are shown as just one feature,whereas years ago they had 2 movies on one programme,perhaps 65 mins B-movie and a 90 min A movie.(plus newsreel & trailers).

People want to have their monies worth,hence 2 hour plus & popcorn.In fact you had better value in the past for a 1/- (10p)

GWTW was voted the 'Best' movie ever with an estimated admissions of 35million.It also ran for 4-years throughout the war years non stop at the Ritz Cinema in Leicester Sq.(once under the Empire).

Of course what you might not like others may flock to in their millions.That's life!

Lord of the RINGS! What on earth was that little bald bloke on about. Walking round on all fours and going on about his fcuking precious. Little chaps with big feet and fcuking elfs worrying about some dark fcuking force. Should worry more about the price of fcuking fuel mate and give your precious a good spanking.

Matrix revofcukingBORING! What on earth was all that zion bollox and plugging people in to computers about then. Flying fcuking fighters in the rain and key masters going on about main frames! Trust fcuking NEO a bloke who talks to computers to save the fcuking world.

On the other hand Phill Mitchell would never stand for such foolishness.

Hi,Bill,
The trouble with those 2 movies you mentioned stems from the fact they are mostly generated from some young bods working with a computer down in Soho or elsewhere.They put them together like you would for play stations.Except with real humans...

...just enjoy the popcorn...they say it's best eaten in a cinema,an expensive way of an evening out when the film is crap.

Titanic 3 1/2 hours to watch a fucking ship sink, Pearl Habour 3 1/2 hours to see more fucking ships sink.

Tifcukingtanic!
Don't make me fcuking laugh. Well fcuk me sideways if I'm missing the point but don't they teach HISTORY in yank land! Why daint Leonardo go straight to the captian no soon as he'd borded and say oi bollox watch out for that fcuking ICE BERG! Now if Phill Mitchel had been cast he would have moved the ship around the BERG, give the look out a right old slap kneed the captain in the Bollox whilst telling Kat Slatter she's a PIG.

Pearlharbour is a diffrent story. You see the rest of the world was a bit worried about the yankies and kept well away as our american buddies needed somewhere to test an atom bomb. Now our other chums who now build bloody good cars felt they could help and bend me forward and call me a bike rack if the good old Japs daint oblige.

Bloody nice blokes the Japs.

You pair of heathen fucks.
Gaylord of the Ringpiece was fucking genius and well worth the price I payed for my bootlegs back in the day.
I even bought the special edits with free models etc.

It was totally wicked to see small bald people win wars.
As for Matrix Revolutions...yeah yo have a point. Part 2 and 3 sucked fat balls.
