It's more cost effective to shoot the extra footage that might be needed and leave a bunch of it on the cutting room floor. Sometimes it's just bloat in the script, or maybe alternative endings.

Imagine having to gather the actors and crew back onto a location to shoot additional scenes. Which is funny to say because they already do that sometimes at great cost of budget.

Both times are on you. A person may not find a movie engaging, but sleepiness is not caused by a movie. Just the way you describe the movie sounds like it didn't offer much to you, which is fine. Also, 2nd acts are notoriously difficult to pace being bookended by the 1st and 3rd acts.

In this particular movie, there are a lot of character arcs so a lot to accomplish and cram in there. For what it was doing, I thought the pacing was excellent.

Why? Would Greek mythology figures be more heroic if they had big beer bellies and burped? Gods, idols, heroes--they are all larger than life. So are movies for the most part.

It's not that way by accident. Realism is great, but how many of the all-time grossing movies are realistic?

Hmmm. What use would screen names be to your third party partners for sales purposes? What about "shipping and billing information if you make a purchase"?

The site encourages the user to put in the names of companies they are applying for, and the names of contact people at those companies, as well as salary info. That kind of information could be pretty valuable to sell, if you are so inclined at some point.

Maybe linkedin has me jaded. Best of luck in the endeavor.
