Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 3245390, member: 127"] The video/twitter/cellphone generation in particular doesn‘t want to spend the time nor do they have the attention span to sit for 3 and a half hours to wait for one hour of action and I don’t blame them. Movie execs learned the lesson that the optimum length of a film is between 90 and at the very most 210 minutes. The old time epic movies with intermissions are too long realizing that 3 hours even if it’s action packed is too long for most families to sit. Rock concerts are usually around 2 hours long. It’s not a mistake that movies, concerts etc have morphed into 2 hour events over the years. Soccer, football games are about 2 hours. Baseball is also having serious issues with the length of games they are trying to address. College Football has yet to do enough to shorten the lengthening of games from the current 3 and a half hours +, to keep their current fan base loyal less attract new fans to the sport. [/QUOTE]
