TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted February 23, 2004 My full qoute would be:OK, I could be wrong on the budget thing. However, a TV movie is made to be 90 mins long, becuase 1/4 of the two-hour time block will be commercials. I've yet to see a TV movie that was longer than 90 minutes without commercials. So, as you see, I said, "I've yet to see a TV movie that was longer than 90 minutes without commercials." ...which is why I was introducing you to some that are longer than 90 minutes without commercials.

OIC Hmm... I dunno, I just don't like the idea of a TV movie. I've only seen one that I actually liked. I'd rather have a theatrical movie or mini-series.

Sgt. Phaserman 0 Posted February 23, 2004 a Miniseries could take a movie like Nemesis, which was originally supposed to be like 3 hours, and break it up. you could have 5 episodes of 45 minutes each and play them one a night. that's a 3 hour, 45 minute movie. then you release it on DVD shortly after the original air date.

Well you can always watch some of the ones I mentioned. I would recommend "A Murder Is Announced" as a good choice, although most of Agatha Christie's work is good. The BBC made many Miss Marple murder mysteries and they are all very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
