True, but it's a lot easier for me to find 90 minutes than 180 minutes on a weekday night.

    That's a completely different problem. You were arguing if a film deserves to be long (it does if it's worth it). Now you're arguing that you don't have time for a long film.

    Convenience isn't an Oscar category. A good film can be short or long, it depends on many factors.

    Sigh, I was trying to meet you in the middle. I'm in no mood to fight with you.

    Edit: It's a new day and I see people have decided to upvote you so fuck it, arsehole mode is go.

    I was agreeing that a film doesn't have to feel long despite being long, however whether a film feels long or not has no bearing on its runtime.

    Film length has no inherent bearing on whether a film is good or not, when well executed, and therefore I want more short films because I have time for them.

    BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER FOR QUALITY PURPOSES, as you just said.

    I was not arguing about whether it "deserves" to be long. That's an entirely different question and fuck off for trying to put words in my mouth. Couldn't just not be a cunt, could you?
