From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

I'm still :laugh: at Buffy's "Hit List." I say something like that too: "That's it. She's on The List." In my thinking, it's a black list.
I understand what you're saying, Lynne - I understand finding the first tent scene abrupt on one's first viewing. I didn't, but maybe that's because I've experienced something very much like it (though it was against the inside of a door in someone's house and not in a tent in the mountains ;)).

We are such an impatient society. I'll even admit that I can be pretty impatient myself at times. But as for the "the first part is too slow" folks--well, I wouldn't care if that part of the film went on twice as long as it does. It's such a beautiful idyll, two handsome young guys all alone in the wilderness, falling in love at the top of the world. Sigh. ...

So true. When people say that to me now, I say "Really? It goes by *way* too quickly for my liking."

It's hard to imagine a length I would consider "too long." Four or five days? Nah ...
As I said once on another thread, if Ang Lee and a camera crew had followed Ennis and Jack around for every moment they spent together over 20 years, I would buy that 100-disc DVD in a heartbeat.
Tell you what, though, lately when I watch it I always think it seems way too short and quick. I think, what, they already have long sideburns? What, the post-divorce scene already? Twenty years in 134 minutes seems to fly past.

Same here! I think it might be because I want to know more, see more, of them together especially!
No, it really isn't too slow at all. And then you get people wondering how they could "get down to business" SO early on, they don't see it coming. But they are the same who say it was too long/slow!
