How to Make Better Movies 🎬 Agree or Disagree?
Summary
A straphanger has a spicy opinion about runtime: movies should be capped at 90 minutes, and if you can't tell your story in that window, don't bother making it. Period. But wait, it gets better. They argue that the best short movie format already exists on TikTok, where some videos deserve Oscars over films like La La Land. Kareem meets this hot take with enthusiasm, agreeing that brevity beats bloat. It's a refreshingly direct stance on cinema in an era of three-hour blockbusters, delivered with the kind of confidence that makes you wonder if Hollywood's been getting it wrong all along.
