movies

Honestly, if they just played the trailers before the movie is scheduled to start, I'd be much more into them. Having something to watch for the period between when you get there and the start time would be great. If anyone wanted to see more trailers, they could just arrive earlier.

It really wont make a difference to me. There is nothing that can make me go to the theater more.

There is nothing that movie makers can do that can compete with my living room.

They're talking about films that are over 3h30 in runtime. There's real data showing that films are creeping up in length

Or here is an idea..

Just give up on test Cinema. Going to the cinema is not how movies are consumed anymore.

Forget boredom, I get physically uncomfortable, even assuming I don't need to use the bathroom...

I kind of get this guys point. 90 minutes for the total movie is fine, 120 is pushing it. Any longer and Ill wait and watch it at home where I can get proper comfy and pause if I need a pee.

And us older generation can't hold our piss that long.

One of the best cinema experiences I've had in the last few years was going to a 10:30 am screening of The Brutalist, with an intermission and a head-up on how many ads and trailers were being shoved in before the show started.

Yes.

RTFA, they talk about it. Yes, it's so they can get more showings in... than one in an evening, which longer films force them to cut down to.

Because they makes shit costcuting, now they’re thinking « why people don’t want to see our shit ? »

People are fucking going to see LotR extended version in cinema and this fuck face think is intelligent

A story is a story, but the 90 minute format was a standard for a good reason. If you're not sticking to a three act structure, use whatever time format you like. Just make sure you're using the audience's time respectfully. I'll forgive a 90 minute 'meh' movie far easier than one that took 200 minutes.
