Why waste time like this? Wouldn't it be better if cinemas would use vertical screens where a popular youtuber would describe the plot of the movie in like 30 seconds while talking at 2x speed?
-
Or they could put subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen.
-
What is a subway surfer
-
And you can pay extra for a chinese voice counting numbers as back noise.
-
-
*an AI describes part of a scene in a movie, badly.
And the title is something like “HE USES SUPERPOWERS TO SAVE HIS FRIEND #MOVIE #FILM #CINEMA #SHORTS”. Also, the name of the channel is any two word combination of: movie, cinema, star, summary, domain or reels. And each upload is either 15 to 25 minutes or a short and the channel uploads something every day.
-
And the audience comments could scroll by on the side! Brilliant!
-
-
And also add a subway surfer with family guy funny Momentes for the ultimate goldfish experience
-
Look, I am the type who watches lectures at 1.25x or 1.5x speed or something. But movies? It'd ruin the pacing. If you can't bring up the attention to watch a movie then maybe you just shouldn't
-
What if we invented drugs that allow you to enjoy any content 1.5 times faster?
-
Maybe that'd just make the content 1.5 times longer and 1.5 times more expensive
-
-
-
Why waste time watching an entire movie when you can just read the spoilers and know what's it about in less than 5 minutes?
-
Absolutely not me watching cinemasins as a substitute to watching the whole movie.
-
-
I hate watching anything faster than normal. I want bad things to happen to this person.
-
do you want bad things to happen to OOP at 1.5x speed?
-
No, more like 0.5x speed so we can savour it
-
Nope, 0.5x
-
-
this user, right here, what?
-
this user, right there
-
-
How much crap are you watching if you have to speed it up to get through it all?
-
The dopamine must flow!
-
-
Theaters and opera, too. I'm sure the actors will be willing to get their shifts cut by 20-50 % if we help them negotiate the same pay per performance.
-
Omfg most musical thester people can barely play anything with 16th notes past 120bpm this will not end well lol
-
-
this person needs to beblocked into the Clockwork Orange device
-
I can kind of understand the people who speed up audiobooks and podcasts. But movies? That's nuts. |
I wonder if OP was alive during the VCR era. I bet they would have loved the FF button. AKA chipmunk mode.
-
Does this person not pay for their ticket? It costs 15$ for a ticket at our theater. Why would I want to waste that money by having it sped up? It's hard enough finding movies that are worth watching in the first place.
-
The theater here does a half price deal on Tuesdays, two of us can go for like $12.95, it's a great deal.
Might be worth checking in your area, I've seen a lot more mediocre movies after we started going on Tuesday.

The industrial revolution and it's consequences....
-
What is this the 19th century?
-
-
If you look at old silent movies, they were played at different speeds in different cinemas and projections. There wasn't a standard way to play a movie, no "you NEED to play the movie at this specific speed or it will be ruined". I'm not saying the same should apply to modern movies, but I find it interesting.
-
That is not true. There was a standard, which is different from todays standard. Which is why it looks funny being played at todays standard, but mostly they get digitally fixed and they look completely natural now.
-
I imagine in a few decades we might have AI media. You could read a web novel with a fewer or a lot of pictures, or read it as a manhwa / webtoon, or as an anime, or as a virtual reality 3D experience that is semi-interactive. And you could give instructions to shorten or expand it, or even diverge in the plot a little, or change the characters. More like the holodeck with a VR headset.

I... what? I'm suddenly very happy for David Lynch, that he didn't live long enough to see this catch on...
-
It hasn't...caught on? People have just stopped going to movies as much, and I don't think 4 concurrent showings of the new Jurassic Park movie at speeds 1x thru 2x are saving them.
-
Plenty of replies in this thread suggests it has indeed caught on. The part where people are watching movies at higher speeds that is, not cinemas showing them at that speed.
-
Not in theatres, yes.
-
-
-
Just like me fr :3
-
YouTube added customisable speeds recently!
I find 1.4 to be enjoyable, but 2x if I need to get through something dense.
-
I usually watch anime on 2x, but I struggle with other media at that speed, probably cause I can read faster than listen to words in english lol. I do watch videos in my native language faster on the rare occasions I do watch any

For obvious reasons this will never happen. That being said, I do the same with most content. When YouTube I use from 1.25 as an absolute minimum to 2.0 a lot of the time. Average being 1.5. For movies/series I tend to opt for 1.25-1.33.
But this all fails when any music is involved - then I dial it down to 1.0.
-
Jokes aside, I think this would actually be an interesting thing that would get younger people back in cinemas. At least for the absurdity of it.
-
Yeah and what if we played it backward and with the colors inverted
-
I mean, this exists, so why not? https://www.screenslate.com/articles/shining-forwards-and-backwards
-
About 10 years too late I think. That dumb shit died out years ago.
-
great idea
-
-
for me to come back they would have to:
- get cheaper
- be less loud, like I feel like I could have hearing loss after going to the cinema
- better screen quality
- less annoying people
- no ads, seriously. I'm paying to see the thing and still have to endure ads? And people complain about streaming services when cinemas have been doing this for ages

This post would fit perfectly:

That community just has posts of people you individually disagree with or don't like in it. Like vegans, or women. I'll pass
