You'll go see a movie like 'Matrix 2,' and the car chase goes on and on and on and on. They had all the money in the world and all the time in the world. It doesn't make it an any better action sequence.
A lot of shorts spend too much time setting up the idea; sometimes they meander.
I think a book that is over 400 pages should be split in two. I don't know that there's anything that interesting that can go on for 700 pages. I think that is a little bit indulgent.
No, Jar Jar Binks was fine by me but probably went on a little bit too long. When they were in trouble and were battling, it should have been more serious and it became a bit too silly.
Almost every play is 10, 15 minutes too long.
I think movies are too long.
In terms of scope, and in terms of sheer number of characters, we went beyond our limits long ago.
Two hours of sparkling entertainment spread out over a four-hour show.
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
