Movie length

[eggplant107]

Like most Potter fans I wish the Goblet movie was longer and they'd
cut out less stuff from the book, but I still enjoyed it, I enjoyed it
a lot, and I think it's only justice to show the movie makers some
mercy. Goblet is already the most expensive movie ever made, if it
were any longer it would cost more than the Gross National Product of
Brazil.

But there is a way to slip another 10 minutes of story into a movie
without making it any longer, just make the closing credits flash by
in 20 seconds. True, at that speed you couldn't read anything, but
nobody is watching anyway; by the time the credits stop most patrons
have exited the theater, walked to their car, started the engine and
are half way home. I mean, look at some old movies, even some very
very good old movies, the closing credits aren't longer than 20
seconds. Why was it necessary for things change? If you have a burning
desire to know who the third assistant caterer for the second unit was
you can always look it up on the web.
