Oh, blessed quality of books, that makes them a refuge from living! For in a book everything can be made to fit in, all tedium can be skipped over, and the intense moments can be made timeless and eternal…

-Hilaire Belloc, The Path to Rome, p.200

This is one of the beauties of the medium – all the tedium can be skipped over and the good stuff that happened in an instant drawn out for all it is worth. The same could be said for movies. Shame on authors and film-makers who waste the reader’s/watcher’s time!
