Saturday Crass Commercialism

A whole bunch of X-Men related program activities!


I admit I'm sort of off "serious" movies. Not that I'm unwilling to watch them or incapable of liking them, just that there's something fundamentally flawed with the 100-150 minute story telling format. There just isn't that much time to tell a story. 45 minutes for the premise, 30 minutes for the plot, and 30 minutes for the conclusion. The fun stuff works better in this format.

When TV mostly sucked they were all we had for more serious things, but now there's a bunch of good (and even pretty good medicore) TV which tells longer stories. I prefer.
