I feel the same way about movies, as well as TV shows and plays. But I suspect film makers and the likes are already starting to realise that a lot of their audience feels like this. Why? Because in a lot of modern entertainment, you'll notice a general reluctance to continue with one 'theme' for more than a few minutes or so. Note how many TV shows seem to cut from scene to scene a lot more quickly than they once did. How many films seem to rely on too many jumpcuts and shaky camera angles and rapid fire dialogue. How many newer video games seem like they're literally falling apart as you play, with the level quickly changing from one new mechanic to another every 30 seconds-1 minute. That's not a bad thing (the level design in the likes of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze or Rayman Legends is awesome), but there's definitely a feeling that as a result of lower attention spans, works have tried to make everything as dynamic and fast paced as possible.
