Also, most millennials *weren't* raised on cell phones-- I'm on the older side of millennial, to be fair, but I got my first cell phone when I was in college, and the most interesting thing the screen could do was snake. Even younger millennials, and ones from more affluent families, who got more advanced phones sooner in life than I did, we DIDN'T grow up watching movies on our phones.

Hey, show of hands, how many millennials remember Titanic being released on two VHS tapes? I know girls younger than me were watching and REwatching that one, stopping to change tapes halfway through, because they found the movie worth it.

+1 older millennial here. I didn’t have my first cell until college either and it was a brick Nokia that you could only play snake on, and I didn’t have my first iPhone until about 2016.

I think we still have our Titanic VHS tapes. Younger kids also won’t know the pain of getting up to change discs after you finished the first part of a Final Fantasy game. we didn’t have auto-save and memory cards weren’t a thing in the late 80s-early 90s.

Thank you for reminding me of the two Titanic VHS!!! I remember my sisters made me get up and change it since I was the youngest one and I didn't even like that movie.
I'm on the younger side of millenians (born in '89) and feel so old now...

For reference on the smartphone debacle: I got my first smartphone in 2015 when I was already 26 years old, and only because everyone was using whatsapp and didn't send SMS/called anymore, not even older people. Still bitter. I hate smartphones.

Older Millennial (not the oldest, but getting close) and YES. I remember the Titanic home release. I mean, even a lot of DVDs when they first came out followed the two-tape format. I'm pretty sure my old DVD copy of Schindler's List is that way.

I swear the reason why "Millennials refuse to grow up" sells papers is because Boomers won't LET us grow up (in their minds - it's all bullshit of course because many Millennials are parents now, and those of us who aren't are still paying our own bills, cooking our own meals and shit.)

Even beyond Titanic, how many millenials own the entire extended edition of the Lord of Rings trilogy and watch it often? I suspect a lot. I sat through Return of the King multiple times in theaters without touching my phone. If it's worth the running time millenials can handle long movies fine.

Oh wow I was born in '89 and the earliest thing I can remember anyone watching on their phones was other teens in my class who could afford to have phones with video clips of messed up porn (like 2 girls one cup and the jar guy *shudders*).

lol I remember those Titanic VHS tapes. I went over to a friends house to watch it and her little brother switched the second tape so he could watch some woody woodpecker cartoons and refused to say where the second half of the movie was.

This. I'm an older millennial, too - born in '84, and I didn't get a computer in my home until 2000, when I was 16 years old, and I have a cell phone until I was in my 20s. And even then it was a cheap flip phone, where all you did for extras was text on it. I don't have a cell phone now, simply 'cause I don't have the money for one (and even if I did, I wouldn't use it for much outside of calling people. I prefer to use my laptop to do most of my online activities, just 'cause I like having a bigger screen for that stuff).

So yeah, I'm very well versed in life before all this technology, and I too remember watching Titanic on two VHS tapes :D. You're right that the length of the movie is not the issue for most of us.

(That said, I do agree with other comments elsewhere that it would be nice to see some shorter movies being made and released again, not because of attention span issues, but because it seems like everything's got to be some big, expensive epic nowadays and it'd be nice to have a few more simple, breezy films to balance things out a bit. I do agree there are a lot of movies nowadays that feel rather bloated and probably could be trimmed down some.)

I'm a 90s millenial and all I had was a nokia brick until college.
