Are we really going to act like it's that weird for most people to not finish a 3 1/2 hour movie featuring 80 year olds in the leads in 2019

Apparently it's also the case with Bird Box and El Camino.

It's as if putting an enormous video link on the front page of your streaming service will get lots of people to click it even for something they're not super interested in.

I didn't see Bird Box but I think it was reasonable to turn El Camino off before the end as well.

What does it consider the end though? Computer logic would see the end as the literal last second of the file. Where for more human brains the end would be the moment the credits come on.

Probably the point where Netflix removes it from your “Continue Watching” list and removes the “Resume” button within the film splash page which is not post credits

Knives Out was a lot of fun. Doesn't try to be anything new or throw out some kind of new spin on a classic formula, just does a decent mystery story well. Good cast all around, but Daniel Craig is the GOAT.

Watched Solo: A Star Wars Story

A fun heist movie and probably has the most 'Lucasfilm' vibe of most of the recent Star Wars flicks.
Lando kills it in this film, Woody does his job well and Han is serviceable. Paul Bettany probably acts better than anyone should in a movie like this.
Emilia Clarke plays well... Emilia Clarke.

Double, triple, quadruple betrayal is a bit eh

Probably one of the least offensive or remarkable Star Wars films out there. Something to watch on a rainy Friday night.

6.5 Parsecs / Emilia Clarke

Watching Batman and Harley Quinn right now.  Its usper fun.  Basically TAS meets 60's batman with adult humour thrown in.

Someone else watch Marriage Story so I could argue with them.

Adam Driver impressed me in ways I didn’t expect him to. ScarJo is also quite good but Adam Driver man—woah.

I love how if I wasn't aware that this was a movie I would have been like. "uh yeah that checks out like most videogames, people don't complete them. Also, when was Mafia 4 changed into The Irishman. Damn nice graphics"

I haven't even started Irishman yet. Need to find a time when I'm ready to spend 4 hours watching a movie. Would rather watch Marriage Story next anyhow.

Dolemite is My Name - Pretty good and fun. Kinda traditional feel good biopic of this time but it's a lot of fun, especially the back half about the movie. Wesley Snipes is hilarious and Murphy does a great job. I used to watch Dolemite in the 90s with some friends, so was a fun watch.

Netflix marks something as watched if you make it even close to the credits.

I’m sure that’s what they used.

edit:  oh it’s Nielsen, so Yeah who knows how accurate
Yeah although (and this is especially true for Amazon Prime video) i sometimes get the "Keep Watching" thing on stuff i already finished, because i closed as soon as the credits rolled, but before Netfliz does the "exit from full screen" thing.

Watched "In the Shadow of the Moon"

I'm a sucker for mid/low budget sci-fi thriller flicks so I went into it open minded and liked it quite a bit despite the obvious flaws.
Our boy Maddox died way too soon though.  :fbm

Oh wow. You're right. And I'm actually a bit of a sucker for that film too. Totally forgot about that scene. Guess cause it's such a long movie. Oh no. I shouldn't have mentioned its length. I might trigger Nintex for forgetting aspects of a three hour flick I haven't seen in over 7 years.

Well, Reynolds clearly found his niche, with Deadpool's humor.
The movie itself looks like Ready Player One, but somehow even more annoying.

It's got the girl from Killing Eve though, so not a complete waste of time.  :doge

The fact that you watched a long movie is enough to be a good guy in my book  :).
I can't count the times I've told friends or co-workers to go see a movie and the first question is: "How long is it?" Followed by: "My girlfriend doesn't want to watch movies longer than 60 - 90 minutes" or some other excuse.
It was also the most common complaint some people had about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.  "I loved it but I wish it was shorter".

As a fan of immersive cinema (one of my favorites is the Directors Cut of Das Boot which is like 5 - 6 hours) this is a worrying trend.

Your friends are absolutely right, my man.
Movies nowadays are so fucking bloated with shit, they might as well be TV shows.

If Bergman could shit out a masterpiece in less than 90 minutes, you better have a goddamn good reason to keep me sitting for 2 and a half hours of Robot Man vs Alien Boy.

That said i watched and enjoy plenty of long (3+ hours) films, and there's nothing inherently wrong with length, but so much "extended edition" mentality is just to add more garbage bloat and endless cgi fistfights.
Hateful Eight, to stay on Tarantino, was way too long, for absolutely no reason.

So apparently the new Clint Eastwest movie, which is supposed to be about people being the victims of false reporting and false narratives, has a completely made up subplot about a REAL journalist who trades sex for a scoop. Classy job.

Climax - First half was zzz outside the one take dance number and second half felt like sitting in a theater with a baby screaming for 45 mins. Did not like. Only seen Irreversible for Noe, which I thought was quite good at the time. Dunno if i should bother with his other flicks.
