It didn't need sequels or a TV show, and it darn sure doesn't need a reboot. No thanks, Hank.

dutchkimble,

I get it. You just want there to be only one.

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 if he can’t.

TheDarkKnight,

He’s saying watch it at home lol.

Anticorp,

He said the exact opposite, that he hopes everyone will watch it on the big screen.

TheDarkKnight,

Yeah I know, but really its a 3.5 hour movie…watch it at home.

Anticorp,

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.

TheDarkKnight,

Yeah I watched it at home, and paused when I went to the bathroom. It was a great experience 👍 👍 highly recommend.

Honestly, I’m not sure why all movies over 2 hours don’t have them, inserted by the theater so that they can sell more popcorn and candy.

When I was a kid, I remember that Space Jam was the last movie with an intermission and the movie is not even that long.

CeruleanRuin,

As someone with a bladder over 40 yrs old now (ugh), I think intermissions ought to be mandatory in anything over 2.5 hrs.

If studios want cinema to survive (and at this point I’m not sure they do), they need to stop trying to cater exclusively to the 29-35 yr-old demo.

My parents used to go to movies often. Now they find it a daunting chore because of the online reserved seating. So they just don’t go anymore. I don’t imagine they’re alone in that.

I will recommend the RunPee app. Been using it for years now and never worry about getting up to pee.

@Lev_Astov@lemmy.world avatar

Why do these things always need to be apps when they would work just as well as a webpage?

HonoraryMancunian,

It includes a timer that you start when the film starts

Lev_Astov,
@Lev_Astov@lemmy.world avatar

Timers can easily be made in a web UI, so that’s no reason for an app over a website.

twisted28,

So they can sell your data

jpeps,

Websites can do that just as easily. The general truth is that native apps can be promoted more easily, and they can have smoother UIs.

2 hours seems normal to me, but I could definitely see it as you get closer to three.

Hateful Eight had one and that was 2 hours 55 minutes.

I bet the internet has a list of movies with intermissions:

(looked, lots of lists, but not correlated with run times)

Cleopatra was almost 4 damn hours!

CH3DD4R_G0BL1N,

And the Hateful 8 road show was the last great cinematic experience that comes to my mind. Coincidence? Probably since I just hate theaters now.

DigitalTraveler42, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

Caville as the Kurgen?

Iamsqueegee, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

Oooh! Which Scotsman will they get to play a Spaniard?

Zorque,

*Egyptian posing as a Spaniard

“What is haggis?” he said, Scottishly.

ZombiFrancis,

The greatest casting ever made can never be replicated.

Subverb,

Worse: Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

As bad: John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror

ZombiFrancis,

Oh those are definitely worse.

But Connery, playing an Egyptian pretending to be a Spaniard while also being the only one with a recognizeable Scottish accent amidst a an entire cast of non-Scottish people playing Scots? That was something special.

Subverb,

Oh I agree. Fun movie and character though.

No worse than a Russian submarine captain with a Scottish accent though. 🤣

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

NaibofTabr, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

If it doesn’t have a weird stabby sex scene it’s not a proper reboot.

Three hours and 26 minutes but it feels like 5.

ShaggySnacks,

You just described a Michael Bay movie.

MrFappy, in Rogue ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Intermissions at Movie Theaters Spur Studio to Intervene

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.

Anticorp,

Makes me wonder if the staff making the movie was allowed more than one bathroom break every work day.

CeruleanRuin,

Settle down there sparky.

If they get rid of the theme song I will never forgive them. But most likely we will get a cover by some popstar.

echoplex21,

It will definitely be an edgy subtle orchestral version of it during the climax of the movie. You’ll love every second of it

Anticorp,

It better not be!

NESSI3,

    I do like BB version of the song but it’s too old to be used in a new movie. It has to be the OG version or a new cover to be used in a new movie, that’s been the formula.

    themeatbridge, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

    If there was one actor that would get me psyched for a Highlander reboot, it’s Cavill. I wonder if he can do a better Scottish accent than Lambert…

    NaibofTabr,

    OK, but who is going to replace Sean Connery?

    toiletobserver,

    Gary oldman

    hydrashok,

    Gerard Butler or Ewan McGregor

    ScrollerBall,

    Better question: who could possibly replace Clancy Brown?

    themeatbridge,

    Nobody can replace Clancy Brown. Just give him the role again.

    mycatiskai,

    Maybe Lambert?

    scottywh,

    I think that would be great personally.

    coffee_poops,

    Maybe an actual Spaniard?

    CitizenKong,

    I vote for Pedro Pascal, but only if he does a Scottish accent.

    themeatbridge,

    Or an Egyptian.

    MolochAlter,

    Get Pedro Pascal for the love of christ

    How about Danny DeVito.

    You can and I will respect you for it.

    “Hmmmm.”

    themeatbridge,

    Fuck.

    dutchkimble,

    So what you’re saying is, there can be only one

    yes yes fuck yesh

    You almost went full Connery there at the end.

    flicker, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

    Sploosh.

    hydrashok, in Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot is moving forward with John Wick director at the helm

    Hoping it’s a two picture deal and we get a rebooted H2: Quickening. Pumped.

    Bonehead,

    Only if we get an H3 that completely ignores a major plot point from H2 because it was a stupid idea that no one liked.

    ThePantser,
    @ThePantser@lemmy.world avatar

    So just like Witcher Season 3?

    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!
