I’m only an hour into this person’s 4 hour(!) review/criticism of the Star Wars hotel and am baffled at how poorly this was handled.

      You should watch it. Jenny does a great job breaking down what they did right and wrong. And it turns out it was such a monumental project that you need four hours to talk about it fully.

      Our attention spans are dropping precipitously, and it worries me.

        Man it’s a 4 hour video. Of a review of a hotel. At no point in modern history was that the kind of thing that many people had the attention span to watch

        I don’t know, even the long, drawn out, epic dramas of the seventies didn’t go on for 4 hours.

          True, but those are feature films. After an hour or two the audience starts losing the plot, literally. Jenny’s video I would describe more as a documentary (I’d categorize most video essays as such), which typically run for much longer without losing too much.

      That was my first thought as well. I thought I’d try the first 10 minutes to get a sense of it.

      Anyway, four hours later…
