"Dad, I'm going to tell it to you and I'm going to tell it to you straight. You see that window?"

"Actually, now that some time has passed, I think I prefer 'the evening's full flower.'"

It's almost definitely not the editor determining the pacing and the length of the scenes and shots.

"Kyle" — you must know him!

Good one! Wow.

Watching #9 a second time; liking it much more. I think my disappointment the first time around (comparable to the reviewer's) was mostly based on thwarted desire for resolution of the various suspense mechanisms.
