The new Knives Out film is… 140 min long?
Why?
What is this obsession with making films longer? Is this Bollywood now?
@yassie_j i think they realised they can ai generate every other frame to make things longer
@yassie_j that sounds about what id expect for a film? about 2ish hours

@peachymist @aperture @ielenia seriously, over two hours is a sign that there’s fat you need to trim off
If a documentary can be 90 min, then so can a film
@yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia idk 1917 was pretty cool and that was 119 minutes long and tbh i cant think of places to cut it down [this is the one movie i have seen recently]

@aperture @peachymist @ielenia that’s less than 120 min and therefore gets a pass
@yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia if the film ran just a minute slow then yassie will personally execute the head of the cinema

Welp, I’m about to leave my house to go see the new Wicked Movie… (138 minutes)
@holymachina @aperture @peachymist @ielenia why do they need that to be so long
The original isn’t that long
@holymachina @yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia i hope you survive, yaseen can be a brutal killer with no regard for innocent lives

@aperture @peachymist @ielenia @holymachina why are we creating cursed Yaslore here
@yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia @holymachina creating? i merely tell it my friend

@yassie_j @ielenia @peachymist @aperture
Better yet… they made the play into *two movies* both of which are almost as long as the play…. So the movies are not just longer but almost double….
@holymachina @yassie_j @ielenia @peachymist what how we fucking take our time in theatre how do you out slow theatre
-carrie
@holymachina @yassie_j @ielenia @peachymist i mean like fucking angels in america is two plays that take literally 6-7 hours to finish while the mini-series adaptation takes like 5 hours 50ish minutes like how do you gain that much time if you can cut down a fucking 6 hour long performance for a fucking mini-series how do you . what
-carrie
@aperture @peachymist @ielenia @holymachina theatre taking it’s time is necessary because it’s live and physical, so it’s like… Whatttr
@yassie_j @ielenia @peachymist @aperture
You add filler *talking* that isn’t present in a musical… but is present in a movie between songs… but don’t cut any of the songs. 
@yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia @holymachina this is very true!
-carrie
@holymachina @yassie_j @ielenia @peachymist oh yeah im talking standard plays more since i dont do a ton of musicals, but yeah no musicals go fucking fast as hell, the few ive seen behind the scenes is. they are very hectic
i feel bad for people in charge of quick changes

@aperture @yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia
And now I will say… Yassie has been right this whole thread. 
@holymachina @yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia i mean honestly for angels in america it makes a lot of sense, every moment is valuable but it is also just. a big fuckoff play
-carrie
@holymachina @yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia i mean it is about aids and covers basically 4 years of time i think 6 hours is actually pretty reasonable for how complex it is ksjndgsdgsjdng

@holymachina @yassie_j @peachymist @ielenia admittedly 90 percent of the play takes place in a one year span, but lets just ignore that
