I started watching 2001: A Space Odyssey last night. I haven't watched this movie in probably 20 years.
My first thought was, "Man, I really did a disservice to myself watching this on such a small TV years ago."
My second thought was about pacing. If you go back and read a book from the 1800's, its certainly readable, but the phrasing, word choice, and sentence structure feels unnatural. I'm pretty sure as attention spans get shorter and shorter, this film is going to feel more unnatural to people as time goes on because of the pacing. This isn't a criticism, just a thought on our attention spans and movie pacing.
