Legs watch is a thing now though. So you got Dunkirk threatening to go on a long-ass walk. People will pay attention for that & to see where Wonder Woman winds up.
We're gonna watch the legs on the summer's break-out hit, The Emoji Movie!
speaking of, what's the tracking on that?

Annabelle's probably going to be dumb fun or at least make near 10 times its budget like the first one did, which will be fun to see
Dark Tower I think everyone expects to bomba
Looking at the September schedule on BOM, I noticed this future classic:

From the distributor created to distribute the Atlas Shrugged sequels no one wanted.
Better pre-order your tickets while you still can!

It's only 90 minutes. Most of GAF won't watch it then.

Don't bring this goddamn heathen nonsense into our pure haven!
How can it be pure when you're here?
Yeah, holy shit if you're referencing the Thor thread...

This is our safe space. They won't dare venture here. The Spider-Bomb people didn't either.

What's this I'm hearing about Thor's runtime?
Wait--This is what I did for the film's listing on our site.
IS Rachel Ray Spam?
Thor 3: The Dark World 2 has a 100 minute runtime and there's apparently a backlash over this.
100 minutes. Seeing Age of Extinction therefore gives you an extra 60% of value for your theatre dollar.

Apparently The Dark Tower and Thor Ragnarok were once a three hour long movie split into two short ones.

Oh shit people still using run time as a barometer for film quality in 2017? checks run times of last ten movies watched
90 minutes, bad movie
113 minutes, great movie
110 minutes, bad movie
141 minutes, good movie
136 minutes, good movie
~170 minutes, weird movie that's brainlessly enjoyable from an outsider's perspective, but I need to talk to more people on the inside about it.
75 minutes, disappointing movie
136 minutes, mediocrity
107 minutes, great movie
110 minutes, great movie
There, I've proven there's no fuckin correlation, but I assume the people who need correction on this issue don't actually read other member's posts.

Yes, Rachael Ray is the voice of Spam.
edit: that Ragnarok thread actually had me laughing really hard from about page 4 onwards.

But I saw two posts in different threads today that if a movie is too long or too short it's inept. It's like Goldilocks. A movie must fall in the 120 to 140 minute range or why bother.

The only movie I remember thinking 'fuck this is too long' was Braveheart.
Because I didn't know it was 3 hours long and got myself a large coke for my midnight screening.
By the time William Wallace was screaming freedom as torturers carved out his bowels I felt every ounce of his historical agony.
Usually if I feel a movie is too short, I don't hold it against it because it means the movie left me wanting more, a very positive quality.

People criticize Master and Commander for being long, but fuck was I mad when that ended. The shot of them in pursuit of the Acheron, I was expecting this big finale. But no, gotta leave me with blue balls.
Such a fucking amazing film.
I didn't realize she was. That's actually kinda clever.
And yeah, you HAVE to laugh at threads like those. Anything else and you go craaaazy:

It was the .gif of Picard malfunctioning that really got me.

You know a long film is good if you can sit there and watch a 3 hour film and still want more..
Wolf of Wall Street is just amazing, Leo was so robbed that year but got rewarded for being cold...
ugh
When things get quiet all you have to do is mention Avatar.

UGH
There are people who actually think it's too long? Fuck em. It's only too short in the fact that we deserved more MnC films and were robbed!

I remember the days when PoliGAF wasn't a big deal. It's called the Obama era and our politics weren't a complete and total shit show.
I miss those days. Can we go back to that again?

So Master and Commander is actually a good movie? I got it for a gift one year randomly and was like. It's Russell Crowe this is like bargain crap. I said thanks, but I was like ehh.

Maybe they just complained it was slow and felt long.
But whatever. Fuck those people. Right in the ear.
An absolute masterpiece. And the DTS Track on the DVD release is one of the most insane demo mixes ever.

I never saw that movie

Wolf of Wall Street is amazing. No matter how much I enjoy a long movie, I'm usually checking my watch after the 2 hour mark but that was one case where I didn't feel the need.
Master and Commander is excellent.
Oh yeah? Well boats hate you right back.
Excuse me, this is a non-poor-shaming zone. Thank you.

I saw it in theaters. I was too young to appreciate it, but I always think about rewatching it.
Yeah that was out of left field.
