It seem like 1:45 is the new 1:30.

It seems like forever that almost all movies were exactly 1:30 long. Now the new standard is 1:45. Sometimes they go 2 hours. Maybe people's attention spans are getting longer. Or directors are insisting it's how long it takes to tell the story. Anyone else notice this trend?

3. It's all the commercials at the start, adds to the run time.

On streaming services, without commercials.

5. Good Boy clocked in at just 73 minutes, and that included a 10 minute making-of at the end.

I'll take that over wading through a 2:45 leviathan that will include at least one bathroom break and the possibility that I nod off.
