I'm not gonna claim it would benefit from any trimming though as the material obviously requires a glacial pace if you don't want to cheapen it.
Can't understand someone being bored in any way by Blade Runner though. It's got something for everyone: sci-fi, film noir, philosophizing, spectacular imagery and music.  The new one is a bit more one-note and does indeed feel longer but I had no problem with its pacing either. |
Right. I can get through The Shining without the use of any drugs.
Movies, and music for that matter, that
require drug usage to appreciate and enjoy it, are too eclectic for me.
("Drugs" here would also include tobacco and alcohol...)
