sweet jeebus i hate both those movies-- i hate most of hollywood's "golden age" big budget productions.
come to think of it, i hate most of today's hollywood big budget productions
no personal criticism of you-- it's just that those particular movies give me hives-- same as, oh, the 10 commandments, spartacus, etc. etc.

a lotta indie filmmakers tend to do that shit so that their stuff qualifies as a "feature" rather than a short-- lots more $$ there. so yeah, there's a "standard" all suckas strive for, no matter if the story has enough steam to fill it up or not.
there should be short films before features instead of so many craptastic commercials at the movies. it used to be like that in ancient times.
