Subject: A Very, Very Long Movie. Very. Really. Longer than Most. Still going on, even.

This link will take you to a followup article on some very intriguing thoughts regarding the possibility that television programming can often be superior to film presentations. Why? By virtue of the fact TV has time to play out very lengthy stories, whereas movies by their nature have to fit within a "reasonable" time limit, or else employ sequels that may go years between showings.

The writer, an editor for Roger Ebert's website, is a recent convert to the Veronica Mars story, having just viddied Season 1 on DVD. Guess what's not far behind?
