    I think two-hour movies are soon to be a thing of the past. But, will people pay premium prices to watch a one-hour TV episode on the big screen? One hour is all anyone can handle anymore, and then only if they can also look at their phones, they get the shakes if they can’t look at their phones.

    When we switch to XR/AR goggles worn every waking moment, that will be the end of movie theaters, and so many other things. Only a few will survive, like drive-ins today.

    I don’t think it’s just the old man in me saying we’re heading in a bad direction.

      One hour, bah. I don’t understand why people complain about 1 minute youtube shorts. That seems about the right length.
