not guilty!!!! (this time)

fun fact: in japanese since the number “69” is used as a play on ロック (rokku) June 9 is (informally) national rock n’ roll day in japan! “69” pops up a lot in the Rockman/Megaman series for this reason too!

and it’s also used in jp posts to refer to this ロック!

the number does not carry the same connotations in JP that it has in the west, so rock and maya had a misunderstanding…

anyway in the same way, “08” can be pronounced “maya”!

here’s a fun little list on wikipedia of common goroawase / japanese wordplay

and if you haven’t, please check out the toby vs. 69 poll! vote 69! woo! (vote whoever you like… toby is also a cool guy :D)

Okay. I’ll take your three hour movie. But if it’s SO good, give me a 15 minute intermission so I can pee and not miss anything. Thank you.

Intermission - 9 Lives

So did I miss a new suit/chapter/ect announcement or is it just Capri Hours

It's his birthday

[texas-gothic]

Now that movies are back to being 4 hours long on a regular basis, it's only fair that they start bringing back intermissions. If Martin Scorcese expects me to sit my ass down in a theater for a quarter of my whole day, then he should at least have the decency to let me go to the bathroom.

WHAT

NO

DO NOT FALL ASLEEP

*But he's tired and alone and so so cold, and rest just seems so nice...*

*Suddenly, a flash of light streaks across the sky, letting out a loud crack. They startle back to consciousness, wincing at the sudden bright lightning clashing with the dark sky*

Wh-

*Something takes ahold of his ankle, sending pins and needles shooting through his leg, and drags him down into the depths of the water*

*Yeah, no. No one's leaving, especially not without saying goodbye*

[INTERMISSION 1: YOUR MEETING WITH THE MOON]

[ljones41]

I just came across an article from the INVERSE website that complained about Hollywood movies with a long running time. The author, Dais Johnson, had focused the article's complaint on Ridley Scott's new movie, "NAPOLEON". But this complaint about movies with long running times and no intermissions began with the release of Martin Scorsese's new movie, "KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON".

My question is . . . why now? Why complain about long running times with no intermissions . . . now? The last long movie I had seen with an intermission was 1993's "GETTYSBURG". But that was a rare occasion. The last official Hollywood movie to offer an intermission was the 1982 movie, "GANDHI".

After the latter film, intermissions for a long movie had become increasingly rare. And the complaints become increasingly rare . . . until now. Why did it take "KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON", of all movies, for the media to bitch and whine about a movie's running time and no intermission?

'Killers of the Flower Moon' Intermission Violations: Apple, Paramount Crack Down

Martin Scorsese did not include an intermission in his 206-minute epic, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” But that hasn’t stopped a handful of movie theaters around the world from inserting one themselves, with intervals ranging from between six minutes and 15 minutes.

As of Friday morning, two European cinema chains and one independent theater in Amsterdam sold tickets to screenings of “Killers of the Flower Moon” with a built-in break. A spokesperson for UCI Cinemas, an exhibition chain with venues in Germany, Italy, Portugal and Brazil, confirmed that all of its nearly 80 theaters — with the exception of Imax screens in Porta di Roma, Orio, and Campi Bisenzio — had included a “six-minute interval towards the middle of the film.”

The Vue, a U.K.-based theater chain, and an Amsterdam cinema called The Movies Haarlemmerdijk also were offering showings with a break, according to their websites.

Domestically, The Lyric, a theater in Fort Collins, Colo., showed the historical drama with an intermission until Oct. 26. However, they did away with the intermission after getting in trouble with Paramount, the film’s distributor, and Apple Original Films, its producer. The companies have been contacting theaters that have violated their contract by splitting up the film and telling them to show “Killers of the Flower Moon” as intended, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation.

To be clear, only a smattering of venues out of the roughly 10,000 globally that are screening “Killers of the Flower Moon” have included an intermission, but it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Thelma Schoonmaker, the editor of the film and longtime collaborator with Scorsese, told The Standard, “I understand that somebody’s running it with an intermission which is not right. That’s a violation so I have to find out about it.”

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."

Other analysts agree with Scorsese’s position.

“If Scorsese didn’t intend for there to be an intermission, I think that should be at least the primary way people can see it,” says Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice Pro. “That being said, it was a long movie. And I think if there is enough demand out there, and especially if it means a difference in helping someone make the decision to go and buy a ticket, rather than not go see the movie, then maybe there’s an economical and practical argument for at least a limited option.”

Spokespeople at Apple and Paramount declined to comment.

I'm sorry...WHAT!? We have a remote control at home. People pause movies and take breaks. If this extra long viewing of Killers of the Flower Moon is supposed to mimic how we view films AT HOME, then there should be a break.

And am I hearing this correctly? Are European theaters allowed intermissions but not in American aka Chinese-owned AMC theaters? Who's stupid idea was it to extend films at such a length, because I know part of the reason is to try and sell these films as somehow being MORE Artistic. All I can think about is being trapped in my seat for three hours.
