I do it pretty regularly. Like I'll watch a hour of a movie on Monday and finish it Thursday.

I just found out a friend does this regularly and it sounds insane Sometimes I have a nap in the middle of a movie if I’m really sleepy but otherwise nah. I have a friend who does but he has severe ADHD Today I watched Deep End (really cool and wild) and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (loving incredible, Almodóvar is the best)

I may have intentionally watched some long movie in multiple parts but most often it’s because I’m dozing off so I just stop it and turn off the TV before I actually fall asleep (my dad would fall asleep with the TV blasting and I always hated that). This last weekend it was Rodan which isn’t exactly the most exciting kaiju movie ever made Last year I did unintentionally watch all of the animated Transformers movie on YouTube spread out over like a week; did not plan on watching all of it when I started though

i rented logan on 4k bluray from my local video shop and i'm watching the noir b&w version. watched some saturday when i first got it. some yesterday morning, and some last night. MAYBE i'll finish tonight but no guarantees. typically if a movie takes me that long to get through, it's probably something i'm not really that into. if it's a rewatch i just maybe mismanaged my time and i don't care as much so i'll get little chunks in here and there. but if it's a first time watch and i can't sit through it in at LEAST two sittings (one being preferred) then it doesn't pass the vibe check.

Gaius Marius posted:Sorry, you guys caught me slipping I forgot about Duran Duran Just a brief aside here, I was in high school and some friends and I were talking about music. Somebody mentioned some band and I said "oh like Duran Duran? Those guys had their time, they haven't been relevant for almost a decade and are done." It was January 1993. A literal month later, they released their #1 album Duran Duran. The band that taught me an important lesson.

An hour before work and an hour after. It does diminish the impact of a film somewhat, but it’s also a huge boost to how often the average person can watch movies.

I’ve been watching 1+ movie a day since the beginning of the year and sometimes I start movies after midnight and am forced to finish the next day if I get sleepy. I try to avoid it but it surprisingly works ok. I also watched Satantango and War and Peace in their entirety in one day each recently. Satantango was murderous in its pacing (on purpose it seems) so I probably would suggest watching that one in chunks. Or not at all (gently caress you animal cruelty)

If a movie is over about 1:45 we often split it into two nights. Otherwise we’d get to bed too late.

Just submitted the application of step 2 for the script fund for Gústi. In 8-10 weeks I'll get an answer and hopefully be able to spend a couple of months off work to do nothing but write. In the meantime we're probably finally going to start pitching to production companies using the short film as a proof of concept because steps 3, and all steps for actual production grants, require a production company to be involved. If nobody bites we'll probably have to use part of the fund to start our own production company.

For Satantango I recall there being 12 title card sections/parts, not 3? Also War and Peace is split up into 4 parts technically. That makes me wonder, when they screen these 7 hour movies in an actual theater do they do multiple intermissions?

And it was three discs on DVD (I assume it’s not as many on blu-ray)

Barry Lyndon is only five minutes longer than Oppenheimer, but when I saw it last month the cinema was good enough to respect the interval it includes. Same back when I saw 2001 actually - appears the secret is that nobody argues with your request for an interval if you are Stanley Kubrick.

In the version of 2001 my work shows the intermission is literally baked into the movie

Escobarbarian posted:Logan is one of the most overrated movies of the last decade is it? i barely ever hear anyone talking about it anywhere. i do think that whenever anyone does bring it up it tends to get immediately compared to all other xmen/fox comic book movies, which maybe gives it an unfair advantage bc that pits it against a lot of absolute heat death of the universe levels of hot garbage movies. in a vacuum, it's a fine movie, nothing exceptional, but i don't think it's possible for it to exist in a vacuum really. you have characters that have been on screen for 20+ years by the same actors, and Logan feels like a proper "sendoff" (even though they're both in new movies as the same characters anyway) for them in a similar way that Endgame is a sendoff for Captain America and Iron Man.

Home sick and did a weirdo double feature of Gokè, The Body Snatcher From Hell (1968) and After Hours (1985). Very different films but both good. I'm amused that Tommy Chong is credited as "Thomas Chong". In After Hours obviously, Thomas Chong is not in Goké the Body Snatcher From Hell.

I watched after hours today too, it was a blast for most of it, but the last third, with the angry mob, didn’t quite feel quite right, it just wasn’t as interesting as the rest

Although I suppose if you're referring to Batman V Superman, I could understand, but I know you're not so I'd like to know what other post MCU big comic book movie characters got a dramatic gritty violent film because I'm having a bit of a hard time.

Jay Rust posted:Do you guys ever watch movies in several sittings? I just found out a friend does this regularly and it sounds insane Almost always since about 5 years ago. It stinks but sometimes it's the only way to see stuff. For a while I was watching movies on my phone on my commute, 45 minutes of train rides each way, then eventually got in the habit of watching an hour or so a night after I get my kid to bed. I think it's why I've gravitated so much towards action movies, because they don't lose as much when you lose tension. Whereas horror, suspense, or good dramas often suffer a lot when broken up. I started doing this in November of 2019 and have seen just under 400 movies since then, I doubt I would have even seen 50 without doing it this way. trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Apr 9, 2024 |

I'm in almost exactly the same boat except make it roughly seven years. Weekends used to be fine but not not even those offer enough safe time to watch a movie in one session.

My problem with your opinion is your dislike of the film is blinding you. Logan was unique for the genre of superhero films. That’s a fact. It was a hit and well liked because it didn’t exist in a vacuum and did something that was indeed more mature than what the genre was giving at the time. I’m really trying to think of anything that has done something in that vein since but all I can really think about is The Batman. That’s definitely more “mature” than any of the dceu and MCU flicks at the time. CelticPredator fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Apr 9, 2024 |

Was Logan that mature? He fights an evil clone of himself. It seemed to me like a regular comic book movie but sad

After having kids I tried to still only watch movies in the best atmosphere I could. Then that just resulted in me seeing zero movies. So now I'll watch in multiple viewings, with closed captions and yelling in the bg. It sucks but the only way to watch stuff sometimes. They're getting older so it'll start to return to normalcy. And we'll go to the theater when we can now. But that's like a $250 outing with babysitter, etc.
