You guys don't have intermissions?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

No and some movies are 3 plus hours. The last one I saw with an intermission was the brutalist and it helped me enjoy the movie a lot more.

I know Scorsese said he didn't like them or something but I didn't go see killers of the flower moon in theaters because no intermission on a 4 hour movie is not my jam.

I think he has a point actually.

A lot of times the break is inserted in a random moment, regardless if that falls in the middle of a scene. And also if you take too long you'll definitely miss a bit of the movie.

Film makers could fix this by finding break po8jts. Even using them for suspense.

Agreed, this seems like an easily solvable problem.
