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.
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.
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.AgGrad99 said:jackie childs said: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.AgGrad99 said:

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.
you're right...it seemed like The Irishman was all anybody talked about earlier this summer.TCTTS said:
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.

Can't wait to see the movie...but anyone read the book, I Hear You Paint Houses?
It's next on my reading list (if i can get through Catch 22)
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.Bunk Moreland said:

You might be underestimating the attention people give to the home viewing experience.John Matrix said:
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.
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.Social Media Influencer said:You might be underestimating the attention people give to the home viewing experience.John Matrix said:

But I imagine it will end up getting a bigger theater release than Buster Scruggs.
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?mrsbeer05 said:BaileyAg said:

I just finished Catch-22 and loved it.
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.Quote:
