And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It is normal long, but movies shouldn't be that normal long. Most 3+ hour movies could easily lose an hour and be fine if not massively improved!

(I'll never forget at the Q&A following the premiere screening of The Post when Tom Hanks started a sentence with "It's only 90 minutes" and the audience practically gave him a standing ovation before he could make his actual point.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Jesus, The Thin Red Line was almost 3 hours, and they could have cut at least an hour out of that if they just got rid of those looooong brooding shots of Jim Caviezel staring into the distance.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Look, I am down for more than three hours, but even I might need to invest in Depends.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If they keep things moving like they did during Infinity War, I don't think it will be a problem for me.

I have to plan my fluid intake that day very carefully.

I'm making a note not to drink anything for a couple hours before start time, and passing on the concession stand big gulp soda.

I'm not sure Terrence Malick knows you're allowed to leave those out.

brillig

Yeah, there aren't the predictable "Oh, yay, Arwen's on the screen, I can go pee" moments. I don't think I sat through the entierty of any of her scenes in the theatre after the first viewing.

Those shots are genuinely the only thing I remember from that movie. So maybe it's good that he left them in?

I want intermissions to come back for long movies.
