It’s Time to Bring Back Intermissions

🔵 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲:   / pentexproductions   🔵

I have nothing against long movies, but Intermissions need to come back. Intermissions in movies used to be common, but they went out of fashion with the rise of blockbusters. But with movies getting longer, and some like Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer topping three hours, it is time film-makers brought back the intermission.

Also that Hitchcock quote about the human bladder is a lie.

🎞️ Killers of the Flower Moon is a 2023 American epic Western crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese. Set in 1920s Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was discovered on tribal land. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone lead an ensemble cast. 🎞️
