I have no issue with a long movie, but I’m of the opinion that any movie over two and a half hours needs an intermission. I don’t need a UTI for your art, directors/editors.
There was an intermission during Hateful 8 and it was glorious being able to get a restroom break and another beer without feeling guilty of getting up in the middle of the movie. So I definitely agree we need more of those.
Im sure the theatres would love it as well so they can sell more snacks, everyone seems to want this
It’s standard in plays to have an intermission. Almost no matter how long it actually runs. Even a 90min movie could have a 5min intermission.
This was the norm in Portugal when I visited in 2010 at least. In my childhood theater in rural Norway there was always an intermission as well, because they didn’t have dual projectors. Hot-swapping projectors was the only way to avoid one in the analog film days, as we all learned from Fight Club.
In Portugal, the only movie I saw where there wasn’t an intermission was a very short movie, barely 50 minutes long. Anything longer than an hour has an intermission, or at least had before the pandemic.
Intermissions are standard in Icelandic cinemas, no matter the length of the movie. Since moving to Norway I always forget and my bladder is about to explode at the end of the movie. I don’t think an intermission is necessary for a 90 minute movie, but I think if it’s 2 hours or longer then an intermission should be required.
And you’d think theaters would love it. More concessions visits per screening.

I read that title as “Doctors are turning to streaming to avoid bum ache” and was dreadfully confused. Maybe I need glasses.
I read it as “bum acne” at first and was, likewise, very confused.
Or sleep?
