| | Posted: | | | | Geeze guys... overly-technical much?  Maybe "full-length" was an erroneous choice of words on my part. Sure, they take two 30-minute episodes that have a common theme, string them together on a DVD, and voila you have a "movie." I was talking about your average grab-and-watch that most people would recognize when someone says "let's watch a movie." A length closer to 90 minutes or more per. That's why I mentioned 3 one-hour TV episodes since they are an average of only about 45 minutes long. Oh, and who chose "More than 40 per week?"  | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

SCNR, Mithi BTW: do Vampires have to sleep or could they just as well sit in front of the telly during the daytime?

A flatscreen in the coffin-bed maybe? This would better be the King-Size version of a coffin bed then. Otherwise how is the 65" supposed to fit in? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

180 minutes = 135 minutes = 90 minutes, now it makes sense. Chose, what do we have... "Between 30 and 40". | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

I was thinking UK BBC 1 hour = about 1 hour (and, just in case that sounds like I'm having a go at the US which wasn't my intention) Game of Thrones or Spartacus 1 hour which also = ~1 hour... I picked those two as those are 2 by coincidence I have been watching this year. It all makes sense now! | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |
