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.”>
Sure, I can sit and binge for 5 hours. But you know what I’m doing while binging? Pausing what I’m watching to get up and use the restroom, or replenish my drink and snacks.
I’m not sitting through a movie that’s 3hrs and 26 mins without using the restroom. That’s insane.
That was precisely my thought as well. I thought the movie was great and was paced well enough that I was not bored throughout; but I certainly needed to pee with some urgency by the time the movie ended (and that was with me intentionally not drinking anything during the film).
Not peeing is certainly doable; but if you had a UTI or something I do not think it would be feasible. I guess in situations like that you should wait for it to become available to watch in your own home where the studios can’t get huffy about taking a bathroom break.
I’m a drinker at the movies. I love a cold drink be it, water or a soda. When I was in my teens and twenty I could easily go that long without using the restroom during a movie (they also weren’t as long as they are now, though). In my 30s I find it very difficult to hold it in and I really don’t want to get a UTI or damage my bladder anymore. Hah.
