😂👍
Scorsese can truly fuck himself if he thinks a 3.5 hour movie doesn’t require an intermission. His last was 4, but you could also pause it to piss. The man is a fucking sadist.
Makes me wonder if the staff making the movie was allowed more than one bathroom break every work day.
Settle down there sparky.
Scorsese: Marvel movies are ruining the cinema experience!
Also Scorsese: The agony of a bladder about to burst and the subsequent relief of pissing yourself is an essential part of my authentic cinema experience!
“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours,” Scorsese said. “Also, there are many people who watch theatre for three and a half hours. There are real actors on stage — you can’t get up and walk around. You give it that respect; give cinema some respect.”
When we watch something for 5 hours we pause and get up whenever the hell we feel like it, and if everyone wants to stop, we do.
Theatre has intermissions. The reason? So people getting up to use the bathroom aren’t consistently ruining the experience for everyone else.
There are no actors on stage in a movie theatre, so they don’t give a flying f.
Is Scorsese just old or is he purposefully being an ass?
He emphasized his hope that viewers experience Killers of the Flower Moon on the big screen
You just hurt your chances, big shot.
“My artistic vision includes bladder infections and discomfort. Piss your pants for my art genius.”
The other thing about watching at home is the comfort level. Regardless of breaks, if I’m in my big comfy chair with no distractions from other movie-goers, it’s easier to be immersed and watch for longer periods.
That being said, his “unbound genius” needs to get reined the F in. I got flamed on Reddit back in the day for suggesting The Irishman was too damned long, but you could pick any random point in the middle of it and cut 45 minutes and nothing would be lost. If you feel the need as a director to make movies this long and bloated, just make it a miniseries for god’s sake.
At the very least, don’t get pissy when theaters want to give people a stretch/bathroom break.
Yes, totally agree on the Irishman. I’ve tried watching twice and given up waiting for the third act to begin.
There’s so much in there that’s just not relevant or interesting. Go and write novels instead, Scorcese.
Nonsense, having a break should be the norm.
I say all the time that watching at home is better because i have the pause button, especially when it is a long movie.
Movie theaters have been getting less attendance and what they do is turn even more hostile to the consumer instead of trying to actually do something to improve the situation.
So we skip watching in theaters and just wait for it on streaming service(s). Maybe a good theater flop will teach Martin to make reasonable length movies or to add an intermission of he can’t.
He’s saying watch it at home lol.
He said the exact opposite, that he hopes everyone will watch it on the big screen.
Yeah I know, but really its a 3.5 hour movie…watch it at home.
I didn’t know the second Spiderverse movie was 3 hours long when I started it and by the end I was like “Wrap it up, man! I need to hit the hay.” But instead of wrapping it up they just ended it without wrapping anything up. I was disappointed tbh.
Yeah I watched it at home, and paused when I went to the bathroom. It was a great experience 👍 👍 highly recommend.
Any movie over 2.5 hours should have an intermission when shown in a theater. It wouldn’t ruin the experience as much walking out and missing a key scene because your eyeballs are floating
“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours,”
Uh, no Marty, not all of us. I watch movies in 20-minute chunks, just long enough for me to wolf down lunch. Your deep, epic artistic expression is my bite-sized chunk of trivial entertainment split across 10 days.
Okay, but then you can’t watch anything in the cinema so it doesn’t make a difference anyway.
How dare people not have to choose between being human and missing the movie to piss! I say we chain them to their seats!
Some directors are such pricks when it comes to their movies. The ego is out of control
Three hours and 26 minutes but it feels like 5.
You just described a Michael Bay movie.
This reminded me of when I saw Lotr rotk and had to piss sooo bad for like the last 45 minutes. It was finally ending and wrapping up after the last battle and I was so happy to finally be able to go soon and then so sad when I realized there was still the whole part where they go back to the shire and have to fight Saruman. Thankfully they didn’t include that and I made it in time bit that’s always what I think of when long ass movies don’t have an intermission.
received assurance that the movie will no longer be screened with a break.
It’s weird how the projector just breaks down around the same time every movie. Maybe it’s overheating, as it is fine like 10 minutes later.
There’s a theater near me that offers intermissions with every movie whenever you ask for it. They serve quality cocktails and full meals with the movie, and you can have a dog on your lap the whole time if you choose at no charge. It’s where I plan on watching Killers of the Flower Moon actually.
I have a theater like that, it’s my apartment, and a cat, but otherwise the same. Oh, and we can put on the captions and keep the volume at nonpainful levels.
