Im kind of surprised more movies aren't 4 hours long these days.

Not so much movies released in theaters... but with streaming services, we're all used to binging an 8 episode season in 1 hour increments. What's the difference at this point? We'll just watch a long movie over a week's time like we do everything else.
i'm sure there are a lot of people who feel exactly like this. it's all basically just "content" at this point and the streaming services make it easy to consume that content at your own preferred pace.

but personally, i still approach movies (even Netflix originals) differently than series. when watching a movie (at least the first time), i like an uninterrupted viewing experience. so the thought of movies with 4 hour run times doesn't really appeal to me.

as for the Irishman, between the trailer and the run time, i'm starting to get a little worried.


I don't really have a preference either way...but I won't be surprised to see directors taking advantage of it. I can imagine content gets cut from movies that they otherwise would rather keep in the movie. Now they can.

no doubt...and i assume part of how Netflix landed Scorsese was they told him he can make it 3.5hrs if he wants to. i just hope the film doesn't suffer because of it. will be an interesting topic once we get to see it.

Yeah, he talked about it. It's getting a ton of buzz, but it's telling that Netflix already seems to be picking it over The Irishman for their Oscar push.

So are we looking at only LA and NYC theatrical release? Any chance Houston gets it?

I've seen the phrase "starting in NY and LA" on November 1st, but I haven't seen anything more specifically than that yet.

Yup. This sounds amazing. If it wasn't going to Netflix, it'd be first day viewing for me. Its a shame that our greatest living cinematic artist has just created his masterpiece, and it will probably only be viewed in between bathroom breaks, kids running around in front of the TV, and other st home distractions that come isn't home viewings. This is a film made by a master that deserves a true big screen experience.

I'm predicting very mixed audience reviews.

Agree. There are a lot of critically acclaimed movies that score 90%+ on RT and audience score is 60%. I rarely watch a movie where critic score is 20%+ higher.

So do they make DiNero 6'4" and 240 or just not address Frank's size?

You might be underestimating the attention people give to the home viewing experience.

But I imagine it will end up getting a bigger theater release than Buster Scruggs.

This model (coming to Netflix) will allow me the chance to see it much sooner than I would have otherwise. Just a FYI, I'll watch this after the kids go to bed and I'll be sure to use the potty before starting it or wear an astronaut diaper.

catch 22 was good at first, then felt repetitive to me,, put it down about half way through,, does it get any better/different in the second half?

I don't know the last time I made it through a 2/1/2 hour + movie in a theatre without getting up to go potty. I need caffeine to sit still and pay attention that long, and that means having to pee pee.

I feel like Heller connects some of the dots and you get a better understanding of what is actually happening and why. The second half also stops being so satirical and shows the dark side of war.
