I wish I could relate to this, as I am constantly thirsty, and after being up for a couple of hours I am constantly peeing. I may be over-hydrating, but the dangers of that are largely under-reported and I ain’t goin’ looking.
Yeah, the man is a fucking god when it comes to film, no doubt, but surely even he realizes that the theater model as we know it is going away, so if he wants people to watch his fucking four hour epic then maybe bend for the theaters just a bit. Especially considering has last four hour epic came straight to…
So I saw “The Insider” in a country that could care less about licensing agreements. And when the (wholly unauthorized) intermission came around, my friend looked at me and said, “Damn, I need a cigarette.”
(if nothing else, the precedent it’d set would be decidedly troubling),
When people race back from the restroom and then require a detailed summary of what they missed from their friends and, no, having to listen to that isn’t a distraction. Not at all.
So what are theaters supposed to do, then? Replace the seats with toilets?
I fully support intermissions, for all kinds of things.
I recently saw Tool, who I remind you have a long show with a lot of long songs. Since they kind of don’t bother with the usual rock show pageantry of an encore, they just put in a proper intermission before the final songs (which, combined, usually take half an…
As someone who can pretty easily go 8-10 waking hours without peeing...
I used to call the usher over to piss in their mouth, but you can’t do anything these days.
This has nothing to do with artistic vision and about getting the most show times
Reasons to hit pause on a long ass watch at home:
1. Hungry
2. Thirsty
3. Need to cook something
4. Need to order something
5. Receiving an order
6. Receiving a phone call
7. Bathroom break
8. 2nd bathroom break because you’ve been sitting there for so long
None of this can be avoided for five hours without a requirement of…
Yeah, that’s a weird quote. I don’t think I’ve ever sat and watched TV without ever leaving the room, nor do I know anyone that has. At least once you’re getting up for the bathroom or a snack. Come to think of it, I can’t recall any time being somewhere for 5 straight hrs where I couldn’t go to the bathroom if I…
Where can you see a three hour theatre performance that doesn’t have an intermission? Who sits in front of the TV for five hours without a pee break?
Oh, for fuck’s sake, just do what I did and piss yourself in the theater. It’s not like they don’t have people to clean it up!
“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours. Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours. There are real actors on stage, you can’t get up and walk around. You give it that respect, give cinema some respect.”
Also the PS2 near the end of life started selling like crazy in places like India which were just beginning to see the fruits of liberalization and quality of life for middle class urban families got better.. It is why you see games like God of War Ragnarok have queues over there for midnight launches. The PS2 and Max…
Man, it’s too bad this happened AFTER the studio went under :/. That’s pretty cool though, that something like this can have such an effect on size of a player base.
I think part of the high number of PS2 sales is that the price actually went down as time went on. When the PS2 slim came out for years after launch, a PS2 cost half as much as a launch unit did.
