    That's how you get a chopped up nightmare of a flick.

    I'm all for trimming the fat off films that are overly long for no reason. However, the duration can be anything for me, so long as the pacing is good and it's entertaining throughout.

    It's been a while since I've seen DVD Extras, but some deleted scenes really add nothing to the narrative and were thus cut. Get Out deleted scene commentary from Peele was very cool since he explained why he removed them in the first place ie (it didn't make sense for the character to behave this way, this message was too on the nose, didn't flow right, etc).

    Some cool shit to check out if anyone here has seen the movie

    That's the only concern for me, because I tend to drink too much coffee during the day. For long movies, I try to curb that. Other than that, though, I love long films.

    Heh. In all seriousness, before VCR's and other recording device, that was a problem for us when I was a kid. At least at home, numbers 1 and 2 are no big deal anymore.

    I sat through Titanic when I was seven, no problem. I think that sitting through a 3 hour JL film is doable.

    When I was that age 45 years ago, there were a few movies my parents took my brothers and me to at the local drive-in. For whatever reason, the nude scenes in the film never registered with me. It was as if my brain was attempting to preserve the actresses' modesty. By the time I hit puberty, however...

    It depends on the pacing and rythm of the movie imho. Dark Knight and Winter Soldier are fine, with Avengers and BvS I have to digest them over multiple evenings. I think of them as a TV show and stop after 50 minutes, sometimes I can endure 2 episodes or a longer part of the movie, really depends on the last time I watched it or what kind of mood I'm in. I'm a nervous guy, always have a hard time sitting still for more than an hour and I love me some coffee... BTW I just watched Live by Night and it was a pleasant surprise. The start isn't really my thing but it improves with every minute and Ben crafted a powerful ending. It was irritating that his hats make him look stupid during the movie for me. Well, I'll probably always love The Town (and to a lesser degree Gone Baby Gone) but Live by Night is pretty close. He'd have made a pretty good Batman movie, I guess.

    Agreed. It's #3 that's really a problem.

    Reeves and WB could have actually told him that there are no plans for him in the film anymore. It could be that simple. If Reeves has no intent of using Deathstroke then he doesn't need a finished script to know that.

    "Darkseid...always hated music..."

    Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
