    I'm with Baby Doll here. I haven't seen Silence, though I've tried starting it two or three times, but the runtime is something I don't have the patience for these days. Still trying to find an excuse to sit-down and watch Lawrence of Arabia for the first time....
    It’s 20 minutes shorter than Endgame.

    I haven't seen that either.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    The (New) World

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Being bound by some constraints (money, studio input, etc.) isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes those things encourage creativity. You look at the product that Netflix is putting out compared to HBO, a place that has much more executive influence on development and production, and I think that speaks for itself. Netflix is throwing money around and giving filmmakers space to "create", but their success rate has been extremely low following this approach. No other studio would've let Scorsese go to 210 minutes or spend half his budget on de-aging tech, and maybe that would've been the right call for them to make.
