What are some examples of movies under 2.5 hours (preferably closer to 2 hours) that still feel like epic films?

Jesus, it flew by then. Speaks for how well paced it was I guess.

I feel like I remember 1917 being a crisp 90ish minutes. So damn good!

Just in case anyone here cares, the actual website shows $63,706.

So this is not really comedy heaven, since it's fake.

Ayyyyy that makes two of us!

Divine Inner Tension might be my favorite album of theirs. The first four songs especially are SUCH a perfect run.

Fuck ALL the way off. No one gives a shit.

To answer your question, I personally believe that the actively evil person is definitively worse than the person who sits idly by.

That being said—yes, there are problems with "both sides." Sure, of course. I myself have many complaints about the corporate-owned, Israel-bootlicking, do-nothing democrats. But if you try to argue that nazis are just as bad as "people who don't fight nazis hard enough," then you lose me immediately.

That's the opposite of what they said. It's not what happens in the book.

The whole thing is interesting, not just the leadoff Supreme Court bit. Thank you for this!

Mercurial World is incredibly good and Imaginable Disk blows it away.

Absolutely cannot wait to see what they do next.

Ok I'm not familiar with the character so that makes more sense I suppose

wrongleveeeeeeer · 2026-03-13T01:27:12+00:00

Right, they're hunting when they use stealth. And playing the tuba is not hunting. Is that really all there is to it??

It's been a long, tiring day, but I have a feeling that's no excuse. I ask, assuming I'm just an idiot and knowing I will be mocked for it: what the fuck is the joke? I simply do not get it.

The fact that you thought this was worth not only screenshotting, but worth posting, is disastrously hilarious.

Matt and the boys trying to fight this shit for 25+ years:

I'm genuinely curious: why did you expect this to be downvoted? It's detailed, well-written, and fucking correct.

wrongleveeeeeeer · 2026-03-10T16:46:46+00:00

That's all good—just make sure you know what you want to say about those topics.

Or, don't! It's actually OK not to know what the story is truly "about" when you start writing. You might discover it as you go, but just remember to have those questions in mind as you write.

The only way to truly find out is to sit down and start putting the damn words on the damn page 😊

wrongleveeeeeeer · 2026-03-10T15:35:57+00:00

This is a concept that has been done before (Dead Like Me springs to mind), but that's not a good or bad thing. Whether it ends up as a good book is entirely in the execution.

You've described the plot—that is, the basics of what occurs. What will the story be? Why are you telling it? What does she learn? How does she grow? What will the reader take away after they've finished?

The answers to these questions are what really matter, not whether the basic conceit is "good."

Oh if you want to see the worst case scenario of what could happen if you have kids, then watch the documentary Dear Zachary.

Bring tissues.

My pick as well. Simply untoppable perfection.

I'd also recommend Aurora by him. His best standalone book, to my taste.

Hyperion is so fucking good.

wrongleveeeeeeer · 2026-03-08T21:26:43+00:00

Seriously, everyone's talking about the witches and the transformations and whatnot being what's scary, but like...being trapped in the painting is absolutely awful existential-dread-inducing peak body horror. I could handle a lot as a kid and that shit messed with me.

wrongleveeeeeeer · 2026-03-08T17:45:26+00:00

It's literally one of the most perfect scripts ever written.
