because movies are shorter to appeal to the shorter attention spans
Tf you talking about?
Every single movie i have seen the last 5 years had this because theyre all 2,5+ hours nowadays
Not designed as interestingly tho, it just said "short pause, how about some icecream?"
You live in the middle of Buttfrick, Nowhere so you anecdote isn't particularly relevant.
Is it really that grim in the big cities now?
Yes, even in mid-sized cities it is like this. Your local theater ran by mom and pop isn't representative of anything but inbreeding and moonshine.
>your experience is better so im just gonna call you names
Jelly
Okay Cletus
I see, where you live it's dangerous to rearm the Black folk with popcorn in the middle of the movie.
I like how when you tease white people they reciprocate with slurs then tell you that you're the one that is upset.
What slur? My speech was clear, calm, and concise.
im not white
Cringe

average movie length has gotten longer over time dummy
because israelites are sadists who want us to suffer with full bladders
One of my favorite parts about going to movie theaters in the 70s was the piss troughs they had between the upper balcony and lower balcony sections. It really was the best of both worlds, intermissions were annoying and meant less revenue for theaters since they took more time, but no intermissions means people would rather watch at home and pause when they needed to take a leak. Back in my day with the piss troughs you just kept watching the flick while relieving yourself it was great.
That can't be true. It'd stink of piss for everyone!
It was the 70s everything already smelled like piss and cigarettes.
Kung Pow has the best intermission in all of film.
Intermissions add to the total running time of the showing and cut down on the number of showtimes the theater can put on, leading to lower revenues.
But studios don't take a cut out of concession sales so it's in the theater's best interest to promote spin-off purchases
Cuz the movie is just background noise for the sheboon territory wars happening in the theater in current year
its a lost art
Cinema evolved from theatre.
When I was young, there'd be a short one hour feature, some Pink Panther or Tom and Jerry shorts, then the main feature.
Longer films had intermissions (e.g. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and we'd enjoy SRBs, Lyons Maid Ice Cream, Coca Cola and...
PEANUTS!!!!!
Are you like 80 years old or something?
I did see CCBB at the cinema a few years after initial release.
They used to re-release popular films every few years, especially Disney films like Snow White.
The shorts from Disney films were usually Mickey Mouse.
When I saw the Empire Strikes Back, they showed a creepy medieval film called The Green Knight which I've never seen since.
how are your grandkids doing?
Mostly okay, but number 11 lost his job recently.
Correction - it was called "Black Angel".
I'm pretty sure I saw The Green Knight a different time.
If I remember correctly they used to have the movies on two separate reels and the intermission was there so that the operator had time to change out the reels. Somebody figured this is a good time to get people to get up and into the lobby for more concessions and bathroom breaks.
