Movie running time

Does how long a movie is influence you as to whether you want to see it in the threatre or not?

I always am checking the running time of a movie to see if it is near the 2 hr mark of more. If a movie is not at least 2 hrs I usually won't go to the threatre to watch it. If I am gonna shell out $8, I at least want to get my money's worth.

Not really.

Running time doesn't effect me as much as storyline, the actors/actresses in the movie, and the director/writer.

For instance, if a movie has a well known director behind it that I like and deals with a story that interests me, I am willing to sit through a short run time.

If a movie lasts too long I usually won't watch it, especially in the theater. 2 hours is about the perfect time for a movie. 3 hours=too long although there is some exceptions, but not many.

I usually check how long it is because I hate watching movies that are close to 3hours long. Because it just seems like it never ends.

But would you want to pay $9 for a movie that was 80 mins long or wait til it was on DVD and rent it?

I really rarely go to see movies at the theatre anymore, unless it's something that I'm quite excited to see, which is fairly rare. I'd rather just wait, I'm fairly patient.

I haven't been in a while and there was a few I wanted to see. I guess I didn't want to go see them that much but also the time factor is always an issue. First there is the time it takes to get there, the 2 hrs or so to watch it.

The 12 pm showings are the best because you can still do stuff during he day when it is over.

I hate when crappy movies come out on DVD so fast and the good ones take so long even after they are out of the theatres.

I hate going to the threatre, all sitting in those little crowded chairs, Over priced junkfood, being to old to make-out with some 16 year old blonde date and trying to around 3rd. WHY DOES GOD HATE ME!!!!

I think im missing the point....naw movie time doesnt bug me b/c I can pause the movie and watch the rest later.
