A handful of theaters have added an intermission to Martin Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' as Apple and Paramount crack down on contract violations.
While Scorsese has not directly addressed the intermission (or lack thereof), he defended the long runtime of “Killers of the Flower Moon” in an interview with the Hindustan Times, saying, “People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours.”
Yeah, because I can hit pause and get up to use the bathroom or grab a snack whenever I want, Marty. Don’t want an intermission interrupting the flow of your movie? Then don’t make a 3hr 26min movie ya crotchety bastard.
Scorsese is of a certain age himself, you’d think he’d understand that some people can’t hold it for that long. Does he prefer people just walk out and miss 15 minutes of the story?
Yeah. This is one of the reasons I don’t bother going to the theater anymore. Movies are getting very long across the board. Hell, it’s so pervasive that entertainment media makes sure to mention it when Marvel releases something under 2.5hrs lol. I get that Paramount and Apple have a duty to enforce the terms of their contract with theaters but I also don’t give a damn about their agreements or how Scorsese may prefer his film to be seen.
I’m not going to watch a movie that long. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t watch the newest avatar. Mainly it was lack of interest, but if it were 2 hours at most, I would have considered seeing it. Instead my wife and I decided to skip it.

Maybe he wears a diaper, eliminating any need to get up
Heh commented the same exact thing before I saw yours.
That’s way too long to sit through a movie without a break. I’m drinking and eating at the movies, I’m going to need to relieve myself.
