The longer length now is because the home viewing video market prefers longer movies, and they kick in more profits than theater goers. It's a move dictated by the accountants, not the directors.

such as it is, takes place below ground level, but even after the villain is very rich and living in a mansion, it appears that he cant afford anything but 20 watt bulbs. Lol.

My DVD recorder records two hours on a disk. After that, the quality drops way down to fit the two hours on.
I also remember when a good song was only about a minute long. Remember all the Beatle songs on their first album? A song more than three minutes was really, really long.

It must be that “going green” thing. Also in the article he mentions Daniel Day Lewis as an Oscar contender for this latest movie. I think he should have got his Oscar a long time ago for his performance in “My Left Foot”. His acting in that movie was truly fantastic!
