By DiPro Go To PostLooked at oscar odds… I liked Gladstone in Killers but Emma Stone runs circles around her in Poor Things.She was better in Certain Women tbh.
Five Nights At Freddy's is looking to have a 135M$ worldwide opening weekend even with it being a same day on streaming release.
I know FNAF is big with kids but this is still wild.
With a budget of 25M$, this will be another massive hit for Blumhouse, probably their biggest ever.

yeah, the 114 minute taxi driver is 40 minutes too long
the 121 minute bringing out the dead DRAGS
after hours should have been 57 minutes long

Maybe he feels like this story couldn’t be told in two hours? I’d argue The Irishman at half the length would lose most of its power. I know people here don’t think too much of the film, but I think it’s superb - and that’s because it’s allowed to breathe. Actors are allowed to have their moments and build character and the fairly languid pace builds to a horrifying final hour - which is all the more powerful for BEING an hour, rather than twenty minutes. Makes you feel its weight.
I haven’t seen Killers yet so I can’t speak to whether it feels too long or not. But criticising it purely for being long is asinine criticism. A good film is as long or as short as it needs to be. I would trust Scorsese and Schoonmaker’s understanding of what needs to stay over my own.
I would say more and more movies are crossing the 2 hr mark at this point.
The difference between a Scorcese movie being longer and a generic blockbuster being long is that Scorcese uses the length as part of telling the story and to use it to engage you.
A blockbuster, say the new Marvel 250m blockbuster, just uses it to put more CGI in your face and shove in as many unnecessary drivel.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostFive Nights At Freddy's is looking to have a 135M$ worldwide opening weekend even with it being a same day on streaming release.In Ft Lauderdale for FLIBS so went with my little sister on Thursday. It was really shit but I guess it is good that they can make more now as my sister was telling me about all of the lore. Was hoping she wanted to watch Killers of Flower Moon instead but she had been really excited to see this. Mind you she just turned 17 so it may just be her youth showing.

i dont mind a long film, just make it good. (not the irishman)
however at the cinema i do kind of dislike long films. not that i need a break to go scroll twitter, but... i need to pee at least once and just hope i dont miss out on a great scene. that is why i together with dean made the website mandatorypeebreak.info

In switzerland every movie gets a break no matter the length. Sorry Scorsese but i went to pee and grabbed an ice cream for the second half.
That being said KotFM didn't seem like a movie that went on too long.
Oppenheimer did
Poor Things did
this didn't.

There's a bathroom break war raging online. On which side do you kino lovers stand?
I'm all for respecting the author's / director's intent, but there's gotta be a limit. I'm okay with no breaks up until 2h30. If your movie is over that, let alone 3h+, a break for peeing and stretching is a must.
If there's no actual, programmed break, which I agree the author doesn't (necessarily) need to concern himself with, then the cinemas should take it upon themselves to provide one. Pause the film, resume it from the previous scene to make it less abrupt, more digestible.

By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostJust go take a pissAlways an option and I don't feel very strongly about it either way, but personally I find having people get up, walk in front of me multiple times and bump into my legs while the film is running way more distracting and immersion breaking than having a single pause for pissing.
Like Zabo, over 2:30, give me a piss break.
99% of the time I can get through it without needing to go, but the moment my bladder informs my brain that I could do with going, that's largely what I'll be thinking about thereafter ¬¬
Not a regular movie-goer, but last couple of times I've been the film has still started a good while after advertised, so they could sort that aspect out at least.

No piss break, take a piss before or after. Almost everybody who leaves during the “piss break” is to go stuff their mouths with more popcorn and whatever trash food and soft drinks are available.
Any cinema that serves alcohol should put breaks in the films themselves. Everywhere else it's up to the film
By barber Go To PostYou can't sit for 3hrs without needing a piss?.
Killers of the Flower Moon was good because of the original story and some performances but the editing was all over the place, side characters had no identity whatsoever and some supporting characters were poorly constructed or showcased, portrayed as nothing more than a couple of lines. We had no idea who they were and some disappeared from the story for hours
By barber Go To PostYou can't sit for 3hrs without needing a piss?
Absolutely not
By barber Go To PostYou can't sit for 3hrs without needing a piss?I can but I still don't want to sit for 3 and half hours regardless

Been going through my to watch list this month.
Rewatch:
-The Thing (rewatch)
-No Country for Old Men
First viewing:
-Halloween
-Videodrome
-Starship Troopers
Halloween doesn’t hold up as well to me, it’s still a great movie though. Didn't know that it was an Indie.
Videodrome is fucking great and is more relevant than ever.
Starship is a great movie. I can see where people might get that it’s satire. Some of the effects hold up well.

Equalizer 3 should’ve leaned harder on the dark violent comedy aspects a lot more. It was aggressively violent but it should’ve been tuned to be more aggressively funny.

Finish your drink and piss in the cup.
By Crusher Go To PostIt was aggressively violent but it should’ve been tuned to be more aggressively funny.
I like this comment so much that I'm going to say it about all violent movies from now on whether I actually mean it or not.
