I'm afraid so. Long running times are hard on me, and more and more movies these days are clocking in well over two hours. Now seeing these in home-entertainment formats is much less daunting, but in the theater, 2-hours + tends to scare me off.

I don't mind a long movie if it holds my interest the entire time. The Departed was about 2 hours and 40 minutes long, and that whizzed by. And movies that others call "slow" don't bother me unless they're not furthering the narrative at all in one or more scenes.
Everything I've read about this one (yet I'm trying to avoid reading too much, ya know?) leads me to believe it's my cup o' tea. The reviewers keep saying things like "intellectually stimulating," "makes you think," and "stays with you long afterwards." I'm in.

Luckily long running times aren't a problem for me. I've been to two movies that were so long they had intermissions - in this day and age! - one was 70 mm Lawrence of Arabia re-release at some art house and I don't recall the name of the other movie, but it was about Gettysburg. Clocked in at 4 hours, I think. We got an intermission at 2 hours.

I wish Brokeback Mountain was 3 hours long... :D
(With the majority of the new 45 minutes being them up on the mountain, and in the Siesta Motel, and the third night in the tent! :D :D :D )

Now that's a running time I could live with!
Actually, some of my favorite films are long ones, including Jacques Rivette's Celine et Julie vont en bateau (well over three hours) and Andrei Tarkovsky's Solyaris. Long running times are hard on me, for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a long film.
