Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
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 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.
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.
