When we watch something for 5 hours we pause and get up whenever the hell we feel like it, and if everyone wants to stop, we do.
Theatre has intermissions. The reason? So people getting up to use the bathroom aren't consistently ruining the experience for everyone else.
There are no actors on stage in a movie theatre, so they don't give a flying f.
Is Scorsese just old or is he purposefully being an ass?
You just hurt your chances, big shot.
I also found that line hilarious. Like yeah plays may run longer, maybe into the 4 hour range, but they have intermissions with well-known signals when it's time for people to return to their seats.
And, of course, old movies had intermissions, too. Has he never heard the "Let's all go to the lobby!" jingle?
Hell, I’ve seen two plays that were so long they were broken into two parts. One of them I saw parts 1 & 2 on separate days. The other was a matinee followed by an evening performance.
So a roughly 4 to 5 hour play had 3 breaks. Each part had an intermission, and then there’s the longer break between the two parts.
Honestly that sounds like a great time. Make a day of it, grab a bite to eat and talk about what you think will happen next. Sounds lovely.
