Went and watched Black Mass tonight (with Dalvin Warmack nonetheless). Very good, with an amazing cast. I wish it was an hour longer. There were zero scenes that I was uninterested in, and there are so many interesting characters and relationships that take place over the course of 10 years that I can't believe it was only 2 hours long. How the hell is The Departed longer?
Side conversation: my buddy and I were discussing how difficult it is to see someone as a different character after seeing them for so many hours as a specific character. For instance, Jesse Plemons as Todd or Landry, Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, and of course Adam Scott as Ben. Anyway, we thought this could be an issue going forward as more and more good actors get into television series going forward.
