Remember when movies were good?

How come I have the attention span for a 3 hour podcast with two pasty blokes talking abstract, but I never have the time for a 2 hour feature film?

Did films just become too formulaic?

They all have exactly the same climatic arc, as if that’s a good thing. Cookie-cutter archetypal characters. It’s as if the only difference from one movie to the next is the costumes and sets.

I can’t remember the last time I watched a stimulating film. Probably a decade+ ago?
