Curious if any member has seen this movie before it’s general release.

Yikes. At 3 hours, I'll wait until it's streaming at home or being shown on planes, so I can pause and take a pee break during the film. Did editors go on strike? That's just too long for comfort.

@Unicorn We should add onto the “old enough to remember“ thread, remember when movies had proper intermission’s. Sound of music, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, and dozens more.

streaming is one of our best inventions this century.

I remember back around 2008 when I signed up for the DVR service on our cable system.  The rep on the line kept just telling me "It's awesome!"  I don't think that was part of her script but it definitely helped sell me.  And she was right.  Some guy being interviewed on the radio said "I know this sounds like I'm overselling it, but it changes your life".  He was right.  No more rushing to pee or get a drink during commercial breaks...

Yes -- especially for those who don't want to "stream" while sitting in a theater!
