In response to "I know you're just being snarky, but where do people get the idea that "editing" = "taking stuff out"?" by Reagen

You're right of course. And I am just being snarky. There are certainly many stories which need more then 2 hours to tell.

I felt this film moved very slowly. Generally I consider that a function of poor editing, though that is only one of several contributing factors.

Well, it was also made in a time when people had attention spans longer than 91 minutes and didn't depend on Megan Fox bent over a car to sell it. - Trish Jul 27, 03:58
Depends on what baseline you're comparing it to - The Maltese Falcon, or The Bourne Identity? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 22:53 1
- Dune probably has a plot per page and a whole movie per chapter, you could probably make a chapter by chapter serial of LRDRN -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 00:16
