Fair enough, lengthy harangues are not your thing. I personally can't get enough of the epic poignant monologues typical of Quentin Tarantino movies, so Rust's nihilistic ramblings are like crack to me. I also love it when a supervillian interrupts his diabolical actions and segwegs into a monologue explaining his motives, providing meaningful insight into the dysfunctions of society (Dark Knight anyone?). Unfortunately I realize this wouldn't realistically happen (talking always gives the protagonist opportunity to thwart the plan both as a plot device & in real life) and it does slow down the action, and its shamelessly masturbatory, but nevertheless its thoroughly enjoyable despite that. To each his own I guess. Unfortunately it's hard to communicate ones message concisely to people who aren't in the know without boring the action-oriented crowd. Keep the impatient people entertained or properly illustrate the significance of the bigger ideas at play; pick one. So many times I've rewatched movies and moments in shows where I picked up on the nuances & references that were quickly & concisely thrown in where I would be oblivious to if I didn't have background education in philosophy. People viewing True detective that overhear his monologues on love & religion offering certainty would think its empty, but would have no idea he's referencing significant amount of academic discourse pertaining to science, skepticism, philosophy, anthropology, and psychology. Its a tough act to balance.
