Look, I am down for more than three hours, but even I might need to invest in Depends.
I have to plan my fluid intake that day very carefully.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
if they just got rid of those looooong brooding shots
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I find most of Terrence Malick films eye-rolly (granted, I haven't seen Tree of Life, which is... YEP, over 3 hours long) but the man used to know how to include those long lingering shots *and* make it a reasonable length. Days of Heaven, which is gorgeous and which I still think is his best film, is like 90-something minute long.
Sigh. I found Infinity War pretty tiring (I didn't really care for it and had about 3x more fun watching Ant-Man and the Wasp to be honest) and fully expect to be exhausted watching Endgame.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I once sat through the director's (Bertolucci's) cut of 1900, which I believe came in at 4 hours 20 minutes ... there WAS an intermission.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Longest movie I watched in a theater was the Italian movie Tree of Wooden Clogs. It was more than 4 hours long. (Masterpiece, though, if you've never seen it. Better to treat it like a short miniseries.)
The longest I've ever sat through anything though was watching the entire Singing Detective miniseries at the SF Film Fest with the producers there for the Q&A. There was a break for dinner in the middle for that.

I think the longest movie I've watched in a theater was Belfast, Maine (4+ hourlong documentary). It was exhausting but also amazing.
I don't expect that kind of artistry from Endgame, and so I would like it to be shorter!
