Sorry, just an assumption on my part. Doesn't seem like intermission are done in movies these days, even long ones.
The Odyssey trailer dropped
- Thread starter dahliaclone
- Start date
ughhh. thats too long. i will have to take an intermission edible. couldnt he have just not gone to all the islands in greece and done all the things?
Im all for long movies, but they REALLY need to give an intermission. Doesn't even have to be in the exact middle - put it somewhere in the middle third where it doesnt disrupt the story. But for the love of God, let us go pee (and maybe refill the popcorn).
Braveheart had an intermission when I saw it in the theater. It was funny because it was in the middle of a battle.
Maybe bringing back intermission in movies is long overdue. Have an orchestral intermission with a countdown somewhere on the screen. Everyone has a potty break and cinema operators would love it because just about everyone would hit up the concession stand again. $$$
I guess I should have kept reading...
I never get why there's more and more push to have alcohol at the movies, if anything about an hour in what I want is good coffee. It's my #1 reason to watch at home vs going to movies in some ways.
Last thing I want during a long movie in the dark is a glass of wine or beer to make me sleepy.

Loved both the Iliad and the Odyssey poems. I should really read the Aeneid again
Wait, WHY didn't they do the Iliad first? That's the whole back story.
Jealousy. War. Trickery. Wifenaping. And lots of gore. Just think what Hector did to Patroclus...
Welp, sigh, so, they're making the archetypical road trip with Matt Damon as Odysseus. Yokay (but it should have been Tom Hardy).
And Anne Hathaway as Penelope? Oh, hell naw. Couldn't they get Penelope Cruz?
Dang. I smell turnips.
(turnip is the term used in French for a bad movie... "un navet" (nah-vay))

Saw Avatar last night and prior to the movie, they had a different Odyssey preview. It was an abbreviated version of, I’m assuming, the beginning of the movie, the Trojan Horse assault. I say abbreviated but it was still 10 minutes long. More like a short movie.
It was better than the teaser trailer and freakin awesome!

I disagree? People watching this at home is terrible. A big movie like this deserves to be seen by as many people as possible in the biggest screen possible.

Are you sure you like movies? You just complain about them.
Idk why but movies don't excite me like the way they used to. Feels like pre-Covid I would go to the movies a few times a year and now I go maybe once a year if that. Last movie I saw in Theaters was the Top Gun Maverick movie. Haven't been back since.
I'm debating seeing this in theaters or waiting for the 22-hour Nolan-cut to drop later on
Thanks for proving my point.
