I'll probably watch the PG-13 version after the R version, just to see what changed.


I always laugh at people complaining about movie length when it's a movie that's debuting on a streaming platform and you can watching it in chunks if you want and at home.

And I know there's going to be articles on rebel moon being too long :jerkbag:

And I know that it'll be written by someone who routinely binge-watches whole TV series in a weekend

One page at a time

Really though, the extremely obvious answer is that they are different mediums and one of them is typically more intended to be absorbed in one go and even then, I usually read novellas or short stories in a single sitting if at all possible.

Probably, yes.

I don’t agree with people who bitch about length for features as a general rule…a movie earns its length or it doesn’t, Avatar justifies 3 hours while Cocaine Bear was torture at 95 minutes.

But I also think a 4 hour movie is not that same as 4 hourlong episodes of TV. The story structures are different, they’re designed to be consumed as one thing or four things. I think those are qualitatively different experiences regardless of overall runtime.

Depends on the show. Andor has 3 episode arcs, The Wire has a season long arc, with episodes at best barely having a denouement, etc. Actually, now that I think about it, many of the best shows are barely episodic at all.

They might be different mediums, but the art of storytelling has existed forever. As far as movies, I'd argue the intentionality of one entire swallow, as inherent to it is a multi-act structure. Furthermore, most of its existence included interludes, until the profit motive deemed it a nuisance; the other part of the medium's history is home media, which divides it into chapters.

Maybe it's because I didn't get to watch movies in the theaters growing up, but I'm not at all precious about seeing them in one sitting. Maybe I would have actually enjoyed seeing "Everything Everywhere all at Once", if I didn't have to power through such an internet brain poisoned movie.

When my godson was maybe 4 years old, I made a supercut of all the prequel lightsaber duels for him to watch whenever I had to babysit. I just put that ~15 minute video on repeat, gave him a big bag of chips and some of my old Star Wars figures to play with while watching, and he was pretty much good for the next 3 hours lmao.

I was going to say make a super cut of neck snaps, but is it MoS and Owl movie only? Hopefully rebel moon brings some back.

Watchmen had one. I'm pretty sure at least a couple of the massive armies of goons in Sucker Punch featured neck snaps. Army of the Dead has at least one. 300 has one. Dawn of the Dead may not.

It's definitely a recurring thing for him.

Yes? I'm not sure I understand what's supposed to be unpleasant about that scenario. This applies even if it's for a film I've seen before, as the most painful part by far is settling on something to watch in the first place.

Personally, when I'm not enjoying something I stop watching it instead of planning how it could take up more of my life. Posting on the internet excepted of course
