But my mindset when I'm buying the ticket is different I guess, although honestly I've never thought twice about paying full price for an 80 minute movie, which is about as low as they go nowadays.
Quality is the issue, but I honestly believe you could get away with a lower level of quality with a shorter more concise running time. For example, I saw some short film by Hank Azaria about a guy who has magic glasses that allow him to see how relationships with any random woman will end up. As a 90 minute 'high concept' romantic comedy, that would probably be excruciating, but it was pretty entertaining as a 20 minute short. Obviously, i wouldn't pay 8 bucks to see it, but sometimes movies suck because of all the extra stuff they have to pack in just to fill out their running time.
