Really?

The short story is now a dead artform. Even 'trilogies' aren't a thing anymore - anything less than five thick tomes doesn't sell.

Movies are now three hours long, but even that seems to be a half-measure and the cinematic form is now being replaced by miniseries.

(I remember when a 90 hour movie was considered long.)

I think we all still agree on that!

Yep. The fact most of my friends binged the Beatles 9 hour documentary in one or two days still surprises me. I also did the same. People do have time.
