(link:)
 * ALT2:... that Baa Baa Land is the 19th longest film ever and is advertised as the "dullest movie ever made"?

 * Reply: @Michael Barera. I have expanded the article, and is now at 1572 characters by the count of User:Shubinator/DYKcheck. I'll work on adding a bit more as well. Cheers and thanks for the review. —  InsertCleverPhraseHere  05:59, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: I added an additional alternative, based on the first option that contains the 'slow cinema' link (otherwise identical), which is pretty relevant. This is my preferred option. ALT 2 is acceptable, but I much prefer ALT4 and the first proposal over it. —  InsertCleverPhraseHere  06:11, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Everything looks good to go now, including the length. I totally agree about ALT4: that is my preference of hook, too. Nice work, InsertCleverPhraseHere! Michael Barera (talk) 05:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
