The mega-epic pissing contest - Roger Ebert's Journal

The mega-epic pissing contest - Roger Ebert's Journal: "It is perfectly possible to make a great film in 2D and at an average length. I submit that "Fargo" is nearly a perfect film at 98 minutes, and that "No Country for Old Men" feels just right at 122 minutes. I fear that Jackson and Cameron have been carried by ambition to make films that leave the realm of artistic economy and are trying to gain stature via the realm of bloated manufacturing. It reminds me of the period when Detroit started adding fins to its cars. Is it too much to expect Jackson and Cameron to just, you know, like make a movie?"
